We describe a model of acute intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in the mouse eye that induces reversible loss of inner retinal function associated with oxidative stress, glial cell activation and minimal loss of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) number. Young healthy mouse eyes recover inner retinal function within 7-days but more persistent functional loss is seen in older mice. Manipulation of diet and exercise further modify RGC recovery demonstrating the utility of this injury model for investigating lifestyle and therapeutic interventions. We believe that systematic investigation into the characteristics and determinants of RGC recovery following an IOP challenge will shed light on processes that govern RGC vulnerability in the early stages of glaucoma.

Ophthalmologic drugs may be delivered to the eye via a number of ways, including topical drops and gels, intraocular injections, and parenteral or oral administration. The inadvertent systemic absorption of these drugs may lead to a myriad of side effects, ranging from benign cosmetic changes to potentially fatal cardiovascular complications. Historically, glaucoma treatment, including β-blockers and α-agonists, have been particularly examined for such events.

Purpose: To report cytokine/chemokine profiles of ocular fluid in two patients with herpetic uveitis.

Daily activities change is linked to acute angle closure occurrence in COVID-19 co-infected patients.

National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 3250027, China.
Objectives: To analyze the influence of daily activity-related factors associated with COVID-19 infection on the occurrence of acute angle closure (AAC).
Methods: A multicenter hospital-based study was conducted at 23 ophthalmic centers in 17 provincial-level regions across China to recruit patients with confirmed AAC during the post-lockdown time of COVID-19 (P-TOC) from Dec 7, 2022, to Jan 17, 2023, and three lockdown time of COVID-19 (TOC) periods, which included the TOC-2022 (Sep 7, 2022 - Dec 6, 2022), TOC-2021(Sep 7, 2021 - Jan 6, 2022) and TOC-2020 (Sep 7, 2020 - Jan 6, 2021). Patient information, including demographic, a questionnaire on daily activity changes during the AAC period, COVID-19 history, and eye examination results, was collected.
