Article Synopsis
  • Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a new technique using light to potentially slow down early and intermediate dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD) and is being analyzed for its safety and effectiveness with the EYE-LIGHT device.
  • The study involved patients over 50 with dAMD, randomly assigned to either PBM treatment or a sham procedure, with assessments conducted after four weeks.
  • Results showed that PBM treatment was generally well-tolerated, with improved visual acuity for some patients, though no significant differences in central subfield thickness were observed.

This paper presents the Tactile Blep (T-Blep), an optical soft sensor that can measure the stiffness and force of different materials. The sensor consists of an inflatable membrane with an optical elements inside. The T-Blep can switch between stiffness detection and force detection modes, by changing the pattern followed by internal pressure of the membrane.

Purpose: To describe multimodal imaging of two cases of bilateral non-vascularized pigment epithelial detachments (PED) in young patients with a long-term follow-up.

Methods: A complete ophthalmological examination was performed at each follow-up visit including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, slit lamp examination, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, OCT angiography.

Results: Multimodal imaging of two women presenting avascular PED, aged 43 and 57, respectively, was described.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of cystoid macular edema after pars plana vitrectomy for the treatment of pseudophakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and identify possible related risk factors.

Methods: A retrospective monocentric study was conducted within a cohort of pseudophakic patients undergoing vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment between January 2019 and December 2022. Demographic data, initial and intraoperative characteristics of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and postoperative data were analyzed.
