Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Ophthalmology Clinical Trials Resulting in US Food and Drug Administration Drug Approvals From 2000 to 2020.

In this cohort study, Black, Hispanic or Latinx, and other non-White participants were underrepresented in clinical trials leading to FDA ophthalmology drug approvals compared with the expected disease burden and racial/ethnic distribution in the US.

A Virtual Reality-Based Automated Perimeter, Device, and Pilot Study.

The VisuALL is an immersive, VR-based, automated perimeter that effectively addresses some of the limitations inherent to other popular perimetric devices.

SALT Trial: Steroids after Laser Trabeculoplasty: Impact of Short-Term Anti-inflammatory Treatment on Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Efficacy.

Significantly better IOP reduction at 12 weeks was measured in eyes treated with steroid or NSAID drops after SLT.

Phase 1b Randomized Controlled Study of Short Course Topical Recombinant Human Nerve Growth Factor (rhNGF) for Neuroenhancement in Glaucoma: Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy Measure Outcomes.

Use of rhNGF is safe and tolerable in a topical 180-μg/mL formulation.

Periventricular Leukomalacia in Patients With Pseudo-glaucomatous Cupping.

Periventricular leukomalacia should be added to the differential diagnosis of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) when there is a history of prematurity.

Pattern Electroretinography and Visual Evoked Potentials Provide Clinical Evidence of CNS Modulation of High- and Low-Contrast VEP Latency in Glaucoma.

Bilateral retention of both low-resolution/high-speed and high-resolution/low-speed function may persist with both eyes open despite symmetrically pathologic retinal ganglion cell PERG waveform asynchrony for Hc and Lc stimuli in the paired eyes.

Bilateral Acute Angle Closure in a Pediatric Patient Taking Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate (Vyvanse).

We report a rare case of a 14-year-old male who presented with bilateral acute angle closure presumed to be related to his use of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (Vyvanse).

Mask-induced Artifact Impacts Intraocular Pressure Measurement Using Goldmann Applanation Tonometry.

Recognizing mask-induced alteration in IOP is essential as it could lead to unnecessary escalation of treatment.

Corrigendum to Phase 1b Randomized Controlled Study of Short Course Topical Recombinant Human Nerve Growth Factor (rhNGF) for Neuroenhancement in Glaucoma: Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy Measure Outcomes. Am J Ophthalmol 2022;234:223-234.

Flying Babies and Swept-Source OCT-An Innovative Technique to Detect Childhood Glaucoma.

Open-angle glaucoma and Fuchs dystrophy.

Note that patient age at the time of trabeculectomy was 22 years. Are some procedures better suited for patients after DSEK surgery?

The Rate of Failure of Trabeculectomy and Tube Shunt Surgery in Eyes with Uveitic Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension.

Tube shunt and Trab-MMC fail frequently with similar incidences when done as the first glaucoma surgery among eyes with uveitis over 5 years of follow-up, but there were more complete successes in the Trab-MMC group…
