Corneal biomechanics and endothelial morphology in healthy Saudi adults: a cross-sectional study
Thicker corneas in healthy adults drive lower pressure readings
This cross-sectional study of 122 healthy Saudi adults aged 18–40 years found that corneal biomechanics are primarily driven by central corn…
In a Saudi group of healthy adults, thicker corneas were the main factor lowering pressure readings, while eye shape played a smaller role.
Genetic testing completion rates and diagnostic yield vary by race in hereditary eye disorders patients
Genetic Testing Gaps Leave Many With Eye Disorders Undiagnosed
This retrospective cohort study evaluated 1466 patients with clinically diagnosed hereditary eye disorders at the Wilmer Eye Institute's Gen…
New data shows that race and age create unfair barriers to genetic testing for eye diseases, leaving many patients without answers.

Retrospective review links higher TAPE score to better SLT outcomes in glaucoma
New laser settings help lower eye pressure for years without extra drops
This retrospective review of 62 eyes undergoing lower-energy SLT found that higher TAPE scores were associated with lower IOP at 2 months an…
A new way to tune laser energy for glaucoma could keep pressure low for years while avoiding the need for daily eye drops.
Protocol outlines corneal neurotization for neurotrophic keratopathy with noted observational limitations
New Registry Aims to Restore Sight for Rare Nerve Eye Disease
This publication is a protocol for an observational study rather than a completed trial.
A new global registry will track long-term results for a rare eye disease that causes nerve damage and vision loss.
Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation showed less pain and inflammation than continuous-wave in refractory glaucoma patients
New laser option for hard-to-treat glaucoma cuts pain and swelling
This prospective, randomized, single-blind study enrolled 52 patients with refractory glaucoma.
A gentler laser lowers eye pressure as well as older methods but causes less pain and swelling.
Narrative review identifies emerging associations between gut microbiota and pediatric eye conditions
Early gut bugs may shape your child's eye health for life
This narrative review examines associations between gut microbiota dysbiosis and pediatric ophthalmic conditions including myopia and allerg…
New research suggests that the tiny bugs living in a child's gut could be the hidden reason behind their eye problems.

New data shows how eyelid surgery outcomes depend on defect size
This retrospective cohort review of 194 adults at a tertiary referral center assessed outcomes after post-Mohs reconstruction for periocular…
Most eyelid cancer surgeries heal well, but wound size and past health history strongly influence final results for older adults.
