Optic neuropathies including glaucoma, traumatic injury, ischemic damage, and optic neuritis, are the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide; however, effective treatments for optic nerve ...

Disc tilt and β-zone parapapillary atrophy may serve as indicators of glaucoma severity in highly myopic eyes. Structural changes of the optic nerve head (ONH), particularly disc tilt and β-zone ...

Optic atrophy is a degenerative disease of the optic nerve that leads to gradual damage to the retinal ganglion cells - the nerve cells that transmit visual signals from the retina to the brain. The ...

An estimated 4.22 million people in the U.S. had glaucoma and 1.49 million people had vision-affecting glaucoma in 2022, with Black adults approximately twice as likely as white adults to be affected, ...

Randomized trials of two FDA-approved intravitreal complement inhibitor injections showed that they slowed the progression of geographic atrophy, but failed to demonstrate functional benefits at 24 ...

Age-related macular degeneration remains a significant challenge, with experts emphasizing the need for early intervention and true cures to prevent severe vision loss. Inherited retinal diseases lack ...

Deep learning tech using OCT scans may improve the diagnostic accuracy of optic nerve head atrophy. Three-dimensional (3D) deep learning modeling of optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans of ...

A deep-learning model trained on optical coherence tomography scans of the optic nerve head reliably distinguished among various types of optic nerve damage, such as glaucoma, non-arteritic anterior ...

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on semaglutide or tirzepatide showed a higher incidence of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and other optic nerve disorders compared to other ...

New research links two widely used diabetes drugs, semaglutide or tirzepatide, to a rare but potentially vision-threatening eye condition, raising questions about drug-specific risks and the need for ...
