Innovations in glaucoma treatment: development and testing of a novel self-adjustable implant for effective pressure regulation.

Published: 2026-07-27

Microsystems & nanoengineering

Medical Digest Indexed: 2026-07-29

This study introduces a compact, passive glaucoma implant designed to dynamically modulate hydraulic resistance and maintain intraocular pressure within physiological ranges. The implant effectively regulates pressure, mitigates early hypotony, and adapts to increasing downstream resistance. Ex v...

Ocular Response Analyzer versus Goldmann Applanation Tonometry in a Population-based Sample: The Thessaloniki Eye Study.

Published: 2026-07-27

American journal of ophthalmology

Medical Digest Indexed: 2026-07-29

This study compared corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT-IOP) in an elderly cohort. Using data from the Thessaloniki Eye Study, it found that IOPcc was on average 2.75 mmHg higher than GAT-IOP. The prevalence of ocular hypertension increased fr...

Ophthalmology and therapy

Medical Digest Indexed: 2026-07-29

This retrospective cohort study evaluated the 12-month outcomes of faricimab treatment for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in a multi-ethnic cohort. In treatment-naïve eyes, visual acuity improved by +6.8 letters (P < 0.01) and CST reduced by -54 µm (P < 0.01). In treatment-experienced ey...

Efficacy and safety at 12 months of PRESERFLO® combined with DuraGen® and morphological evaluation using AS-OCT.

Published: 2026-07-27

Archivos de la Sociedad Espanola de Oftalmologia

Medical Digest Indexed: 2026-07-29

This prospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of PRESERFLO® implantation combined with 0.04% MMC and DuraGen® in 50 eyes with moderate or severe glaucoma. The mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 26.8 ± 7.1 mmHg, which decreased to 13.1 ± 4.5 mmHg, a reduction of 47.9% (p <...

Association between Pre-diagnostic Macular Thickness With Risk of Age-related Macular Degeneration.

Published: 2026-07-27

Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.)

Medical Digest Indexed: 2026-07-29

This study involving 40,078 participants from the UK Biobank aimed to determine if specific pre-diagnostic macular thickness patterns are linked to an increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Using optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, two distinct macular thickness profile...
