Diabetic macular edema (DMO) poses a significant risk to vision, primarily caused by the leakage of retinal vessels. Traditional treatments involve anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents and corticosteroids, though responses vary, necessitating frequent treatments. This retrospective study at a London-based tertiary eye hospital evaluates the efficacy of faricimab, a bispecific antibody inhibiting angiopoietin 2 (Ang-2) and VEGF-A, in treating DMO.

Choroidal nevus is the most common intraocular tumor, and most cases are benign and have no symptoms. However, choroidal nevus carries a low risk for transformation into melanoma, which is a highly aggressive and deadly cancer. In this case report, we present a male patient with blurred vision in his left eye for six months.

Purpose: To evaluate visual and anatomical outcome of consecutive patients who received intravitreal injections (IVI) of faricimab for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study of patients treated for nAMD with one to three IVIs of faricimab from October 2022 to January 2024. Demographic data, treatment history, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anatomic parameters, and adverse events (AEs) were collected.

Topic: To compare anatomic outcomes of primary scleral buckle (SB) vs. lens sparing pars plana vitrectomy (LSV) in treating retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) associated Stage 4A retinal detachment (RD).
Clinical Relevance: ROP is the leading cause of blindness in childhood in industrialized countries worldwide.

Current treatments for fundus disorders, such as intravitreal injections, pose risks, including infection and retinal detachment, and are limited in their ability to deliver macromolecular drugs across the blood‒retinal barrier. Although non-invasive methods are safer, their delivery efficiency remains suboptimal (<5%). We have developed a wearable electrodriven switch (WES) that improves the non-invasive delivery of macromolecules to the fundus.
