This study found topical rhNGF eye drops for glaucoma were safe and well-tolerated. While no significant short-term neuroenhancement was detected, trends suggest further neuroprotection trials are warranted.

This study found Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and other non-White participants were underrepresented in FDA-approved ophthalmology drug trials. Despite some improvement, further efforts are needed to ensure diverse enrollment for valid, equitable results.

A 14-year-old on Vyvanse developed bilateral acute angle closure, which resolved upon discontinuing the medication. This highlights a rare but critical drug-induced glaucoma risk in pediatric patients.

Masks during GAT can artificially elevate IOP readings by interfering with the tonometer. Recognizing this artifact is crucial to prevent unnecessary glaucoma treatment escalation.

Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), linked to prematurity, causes optic nerve cupping and visual field defects mimicking normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Clinicians should consider PVL in the differential diagnosis for young patients with these findings.

Short-term NSAID or steroid drops after SLT significantly improved IOP reduction at 12 weeks. This suggests anti-inflammatory treatment can enhance SLT efficacy.

OCT angle recess width was studied for predicting IOP rise after intravitreal triamcinolone. Narrower angles correlated with higher IOP increases, suggesting OCT screening could help identify patients at risk.

Paintball trauma mechanisms were studied using porcine eyes and supercomputer models. Key finding: Two distinct optic nerve injury mechanisms (rotational avulsion vs. rebound evulsion) depend on impact trajectory, with implications for understanding blunt ocular trauma.

Computer modeling of paintball eye impacts revealed specific mechanisms like ciliary body strain and pressure waves cause injuries like angle recession, lens displacement, and retinal damage, explaining blunt ocular trauma.
