AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Purpose: To report transient corneal epithelial microcysts associated with interferon therapy.
Methods: Case report.
Results: Transient corneal epithelial microcysts appeared bilaterally with the onset of therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin for the treatment of hepatitis C. These microcysts resolved completely after discontinuation of the pegylated interferon with ribavirin therapy.
Conclusions: Pegylated interferon therapy was associated with transient corneal epithelial microcysts in our patient.

Topography-guided, patterned, customized corneal crosslinking for non-invasive astigmatism correction.
Eye (Lond)
January 2025
Bio-manufacturing Engineering Laboratory, International Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
Objectives: To propose and evaluate a novel, non-invasive approach for enduring corneal astigmatism correction based on topography-guided, patterned, customized riboflavin-ultraviolet A corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL).
Methods: Astigmatism was modelled on both eyes of rabbits. A randomly selected eye of each rabbit was treated by the proposed CXL procedure with another eye as control.
Anatomical and functional results of patients with late-stage age-related macular degeneration 6 months after smaller-incision new-generation implantable miniature telescope (SING IMT™) implantation.
Eye (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Translational Medicine, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate anatomical and functional outcomes of the Smaller-Incision New Generation Implantable Miniature Telescope (SING IMT™) in patients with bilateral advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: This non-comparative retrospective single-surgeon interventional case series included patients with bilateral late-stage AMD who underwent cataract surgery and SING IMT™ implantation at the Sant'Anna University Hospital, University of Ferrara, Italy. The main outcome measures included corrected distance (CDVA) and near visual acuity (CNVA), endothelial cell loss (ECL), and incidence of complications.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of transient receptor potential (TRP) channel modulators for dry eye.
Methods: A thorough search for randomized clinical trials was conducted in seven databases up to February 16, 2024. Suitable studies were identified according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data were synthesized and analyzed using Review Manager 5.
A Novel Quaternary Ammonium N-Propylamiodarone Bromide Provides Long-Lasting Analgesia Against Corneal Pain.
Drug Des Devel Ther
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Yamanashi, Chuo, Yamanashi, Japan.
Purpose: Corneal pain is one of the most common eye symptoms caused by various types of epithelial injuries, including traumatic abrasion, chemical injury, ulcers, ultraviolet exposure, and infection. However, current therapeutic options for corneal pain are limited. In this study, we synthesized a novel quaternary ammonium compound, N-propylamiodarone bromide (NPA), and employed a rodent model of corneal injury to investigate whether NPA offers prolonged corneal analgesia through transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel-mediated selective cellular entry, without hindering corneal epithelial recovery.
