Obesity and retinal microvasculature dysfunction are linked and impact visual acuity. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the HOMA-IR score and the presence of vascular dysfunction (capillary perfusion and flux index) of the optic nerve head (ONH) of the retina in obese patients and to determine its diagnostic performance to predict vascular dysfunction. A case-control study was conducted in 2022 involving individuals from obese and non-obese groups.

Methods to image the human RPE directly are limited, as it is only about 10 µm thick and situated between the photoreceptor outer segments and Bruch's membrane (BM).

Purpose: Changes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) may have measurable effects on the retina, which may facilitate early detection due to the eye's accessibility. Retinal pathology and the regulation of serine racemase (SR) were investigated in the retinas of APP(SW)/PS1(∆E9) mice.
Methods: SR in the retinas and the content of D-serine in the aqueous humor were analyzed.

Purpose: Stress granules (SGs) are cytoplasmic biocondensates formed in response to various cellular stressors, contributing to cell survival. Although implicated in diverse pathologies, their role in retinal degeneration (RD) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate SG formation in the retina and its induction by excessive LED light in an RD model.

Purpose: To compare a novel high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) with improved axial resolution (High-Res OCT) with conventional spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) with regard to their capacity to characterize the disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) in diabetic maculopathy.
Methods: Diabetic patients underwent multimodal retinal imaging (SD-OCT, High-Res OCT, and color fundus photography). Best-corrected visual acuity and diabetes characteristics were recorded.
