Ultra-widefield, 7-field imaging show concordance for diabetic retinopathy grading
Evaluations of diabetic retinopathy severity appeared comparable with ultra-widefield and 7-field imaging, suggesting ultra-widefield imaging can be used in future longitudinal studies without bias, according to a cross-sectional study.
Photoscreener access improves vision screening rates in toddlers, but disparities remain
Increased availability of photoscreeners led to higher rates of overall vision screening for children aged 3 years in one large health care system, according to a study published in JAMA Ophthalmology.
Better visual outcomes with toric IOLs vs. nontoric IOLs, corneal relaxing incisions
Toric monofocal IOLs resulted in better uncorrected distance visual acuity and lower postoperative cylinder compared with nontoric multifocal IOLs and were more effective than corneal relaxing incisions, according to a literature review.
Individualized low vision therapy improves acuity in children, adults
Researchers observed significant improvement in visual acuity among children and adults with low vision after being individually fitted with optical or electronic aids, according to a study published in Journal of Personalized Medicine.
