Mashup Score: 3American Glaucoma Society-American Academy of Ophthalmology Position Statement on Nicotinamide Use for Glaucoma Neuroprotection - 4 day(s) ago
Glaucoma is the most common neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally, with a projected worldwide prevalence expected to affect 111.8 million people by 2040.1 While conventional intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering therapy for glaucoma can effectively slow or halt the disease, many patients continue to experience optic nerve damage and visual field loss even when IOP reduction has been substantial. There is a strong unmet need for neuroprotective, IOP-independent agents that can both slow retinal ganglion cell damage (neuroprotection) and potentially heal damaged retinal ganglion cells (neurorecovery, neuroregeneration), as was identified in a 2022 American Glaucoma Society Position Paper and elsewhere.

Mashup Score: 0Assessment of measurement variability across automated... : Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery - 4 day(s) ago
bilateral, nonrandomized, open-label, observational study. Methods: This study included healthy eyes, with no prior eye surgery, and with a spherical equivalent of at least −1.00 diopter. Orbscan II was compared with Argos, Atlas 9000, caliper, IOLMaster 500, IOLMaster 700, iTrace, Lenstar LS900, Pentacam HR, and Pentacam AXL Wave. Preoperative measurements included white-to-white (WTW), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and central corneal thickness (CCT). Linear mixed-effect models were created to determine adjustment factor between the Orbscan II and other devices for WTW, ACD, and CCT measurements. Results: 204 participants (408 eyes) completed the study. All mean WTW measurements were significantly different compared with the Orbscan II (P < .01), except for Pentacam AXL Wave. All mean ACD and CCT measurements were significantly different compared with the Orbscan II (P < .01). Adjustment factors for WTW ranged from −0.65 to 0.24 mm. Adjustment factors for ACD ranged from −0.21 to −0.
