Electroretinography (ERG) is used to evaluate the physiological status of the retina and optic nerve. The purpose of this study was to determine the usefulness of ERGs recorded with the RETeval system in diagnosing optic nerve diseases. Forty-eight patients with optic nerve disorders, including optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy, traumatic optic neuropathy, and dominant optic atrophy, and 36 normal control subjects were studied.

Methods: This study included 16 children with hypermetropic anisometropic amblyopia. All patients received 1% atropine eye drops in both eyes twice a day for 7 days.
Purpose: To evaluate perioperative dry eye (DE) syndrome and meibomian gland (MG) dysfunction parameters associated with cataract surgery-induced DE symptoms.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective, single-centered, observational study included 82 eyes of 43 patients without previous subjective DE symptoms, treatment, ocular comorbidities, and previous use of ophthalmic treatment, except for anti-allergic eye drops, who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery. MG dropout, lid margin abnormality, meibum quality, meibum expressibility, MG orifice obstruction, ocular surface disease index, non-invasive tear break-up time, tear meniscus height, and Schirmer test score were measured at baseline and 1 month postoperatively.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effectiveness of delefilcon A soft contact lenses (SCLs) in improving tear film dynamics compared to narafilcon A lenses, particularly focusing on comfort during prolonged wear.
- Results show that delefilcon A significantly reduces the thin aqueous layer break (TALB) and increases noninvasive tear break-up time (NIBUT), indicating better eye comfort and moisture retention.
- The findings suggest that water gradient technology in delefilcon A lenses can enhance lens performance by improving tear film stability, making them a more comfortable option for extended wear.
Purpose: In the field of regenerative medicine, Rho kinase inhibitors (ROCK inhibitors) show a protective effect on the corneal endothelium and promote effective healing in acute surgical wounds. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of eyedrops containing ripasudil, a ROCK inhibitor approved in Japan for therapeutic use for glaucoma.
Methods: In this retrospective observational study, 13 glaucoma patients (16 eyes) were treated with 0.
