Three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology is a rapid prototyping technology that is widely used in the medical field. It can be combined with computer-aided design, material manufacturing, and other technologies to construct medical-related appliances, human implants and even cell-based models or biological tissues. In the field of ophthalmology, the technology can be used to manufacture ocular anatomical models, glasses, intraocular implants, microsurgical instruments, drugs, etc. It can also enable future 'bioprinting', involving the refractive and nervous systems of the eyeball, with excellent development prospects in the field. This review introduces the development of 3DP technology in ophthalmology and discusses its application and potential.

Virtual reality perimetry compared to standard automated perimetry in adults with glaucoma: A systematic review.
PLoS One
January 2025
Division of Ophthalmology, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to consolidate and summarize available data comparing virtual reality perimetry (VRP) with standard automated perimetry (SAP) in adults with glaucoma. Understanding the utility and diagnostic performance of emerging VRP technology may expand access to visual field testing but requires evidence-based validation.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in 3 databases (PubMed Central, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) from the date of inception to 10/09/2024.
Transcranial Doppler sonography follow-up study in mild vascular cognitive impairment.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences and Advanced Technologies "G. F. Ingrassia", University of Catania, Catania, Italy.
Background: To date, few data to transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) are available in patients with mild vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) at risk for vascular or mixed dementia. In a previous study in patients with mild VCI and cerebral small vessels disease, a hemodynamic pattern of cerebral hypoperfusion and enhanced vascular resistance were observed; however, longitudinal data are currently lacking. Here, we perform a clinical, psychopathological, and neurosonological follow-up of patients with VCI in order to monitor any progression and to identify TCD measures to detect it.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
January 2025
Laboratorio de Óptica, Universidad de Murcia, Campus de Espinardo, Murcia, Spain.
Purpose: Peripheral optics have been suggested to play a role in myopia progression, with accommodation responses also considered a potential contributor. This study aimed to investigate whether modifications in peripheral optics through different spectacle lenses affect accommodation responses.
Methods: Dynamic accommodation responses were assessed using a double-pass instrument while switching the target from distance (3 m for 3 seconds) to near (0.
Artificial Cornea Substitute Based on Hydrogel Skeletons with Natural Stromal Hierarchical Structure and Extracellular Matrix for Sutureless Transplantation.
Adv Sci (Weinh)
January 2025
State Key Laboratory Cultivation Base, Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Eye Institute of Shandong First Medical University, Qingdao, 266071, China.
Corneal substitutes with structural and compositional characteristics resembling those of natural corneas have attracted considerable attention. However, biomimicking the complex hierarchical organization of corneal stroma is challenging. In this study, humanized corneal stroma-like adhesive patches (HCSPs) are prepared through a multi-step process.

January 2025
Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Key Laboratory, No.1, Dong Jiao Min Xiang, Dong Cheng District, Beijing, 100730, China.
Purpose: To compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in cataract patients with keratoconus (KC).
Methods: This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis statementand and was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024568997). Pubmed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were searched for retrospective and prospective clinical studies published until October 2024.
