EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Watertown, MA, USA.
To review sustained-release intraocular platforms used to treat diseases of the retina and choroid. A literature review of the current applications of biomaterials for sustained-release therapy in retinal and choroidal diseases was performed. Retinal and choroidal diseases, such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic macular edema (DME), and uveitis, are commonly treated using intravitreal (IVT) therapies that require frequent IVT injections.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital Cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is linked to serious long-term issues like hearing, vision, and neurodevelopmental problems, but there’s no standard approach for screening and treatment.
- This study reviewed data from newborns identified through targeted hearing screening, focusing on the long-term effects and any neurological abnormalities associated with cCMV over at least two years.
- Out of 61 newborns studied, 57.3% were symptomatic at birth, with a significant number developing sensorineural hearing loss, often accompanied by other complications, highlighting the need for effective monitoring and treatment strategies.

Department of Rheumatology, Albacete University Hospital, Albacete, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- * All patients were initially treated with antiviral medication, but two needed additional surgical intervention due to complications. After the infections were controlled, they developed resistant macular edema, which was treated with a sustained-release dexamethasone implant.
- * The treatment led to significant improvement in both retinal edema and visual acuity, with no reactivation of the virus or major side effects over a two-year period, suggesting that this implant could be a viable option for similar cases.
