Article Synopsis
- Previous studies linked high protein levels in the aqueous humor (AH) to corneal endothelial cell dysfunction (CECD), but the specific biomarkers and mechanisms were unclear.
- This study aimed to identify protein markers in AH associated with corneal endothelial cells (CECs) by performing in-depth proteomic and transcriptomic analyses on patients with bullous keratopathy (BK).
- The research identified 35 potential biomarkers, with three upregulated markers—TIMP1, FCGBP, and ANGPTL7—validated as indicators of CECD through additional analysis, offering insights into the disease and potential assessment tools for CEC function.
Multifocal intraocular lenses (MF-IOLs) are increasingly implanted as the need for good near- and intermediate-distance vision increases. Although retinal disease is known to be a relative contraindication for MF-IOL implantation, there are no detailed guidelines for MF-IOL implantation with respect to the type and severity of retinal diseases/statuses. In this study, because retinal diseases can affect the performance of MF-IOLs, we analyzed the opinions of 111 retinal specialists, who were members of the Korean Retina Society, on the implantation of diffractive MF-IOLs in eyes with 15 retinal diseases/statuses using a web-based survey.

- - The study aimed to assess how well measurements of eye dimensions from the IOLMaster 700 (a type of optical biometry) compare to other devices in cataract patients, looking specifically at axial length, anterior chamber depth, keratometry, and white-to-white distance.
- - Results showed that the axial length measurements from the IOLMaster 700 were highly consistent with those from the IOLMaster 500 and A-scan, while the anterior chamber depth showed less agreement with the A-scan and variable results with Galilei G4.
- - The researchers concluded that while the IOLMaster 700 can generally be used in place of the other tested devices for certain measurements, some specific values (like ACD and
