Background: The severity of furcation involvement (FI) directly affected tooth prognosis and influenced treatment approaches. However, assessing, diagnosing, and treating molars with FI was complicated by anatomical and morphological variations. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) enhanced diagnostic accuracy for detecting FI and measuring furcation defects.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of evolving treatment paradigms for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) by comparing outcomes between two patient cohorts treated with different anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) regimens over a decade apart.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 200 treatment-naive nAMD patients divided into two cohorts. Cohort 1 (2009-2010) was treated with a pro re nata (PRN) regimen, involving three initial monthly injections followed by as-needed treatments based on monthly monitoring.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate whether the digital eye strain (DES) was associated with the low central corneal thickness (CCT).
Methods: This observational cross-sectional pilot study was conducted from April 2023 to October 2023 at a tertiary eye care centre in North India, where CCT values were compared between subjects with DES and those without DES. Two hundred and eighty subjects (n = 280) aged 15-40 years with clear corneas and lenses were initially included in this study.

Background: A pilot eyecare programme aimed to address the urgent eye health needs of older Zanzibari craftswomen. We investigated the impact of correcting presbyopia on their subjective well-being (SWB) 6 months post-correction and assessed the cost-effectiveness of a women-targeted presbyopia correction programme.
Methods: This study involved Zanzibari craftswomen aged 40 and older with presenting and corrected distance visual acuity better than 6/12 in both eyes and were presbyopic.
