Microglia are highly specialized resident macrophages in the central nervous system that play a pivotal role in modulating neuroinflammation. Microglial plasticity is essential for their function, allowing them to polarize into proinflammatory M1-like or anti-inflammatory M2-like phenotypes. However, the mechanisms driving M1 and M2 microglial induction during retinal degeneration remain largely unexplored.

To examine the trends and outcomes in the management of Coats disease and evaluate the effects of a staged therapeutic approach using transpupillary laser vascular ablation, intravitreal (IVT) bevacizumab, and adjunct as-needed posterior sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide (used only in cases with a persistent active exudation) on globe retention, anatomic status, and visual acuity (VA). An evaluation was performed from 2005 to 2023. Previous case series published in the literature were reviewed.

Currently, generalized therapy for traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is lacking. Various strategies have been developed to protect and regenerate retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) after TON. Intravitreal injection of supplements has been approved as a promising approach, although serious concerns, such as low delivery efficacy and pain due to frequent injections, remain.
