The development of glaucoma involves changes in the chamber humor caused by hydrodynamic disorders. Primary glaucoma is often combined with lens opacities. Comparison of the content of protein and protein fractions in aqueous humor and blood serum of patients with glaucoma and different degree of lens opacity showed that, in contrast to senile cataract, cataract in a glaucomatous eye forms when the permeability of the blood-eye barrier is increased, which justifies the administration of drugs stabilizing it.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of Alismatis Rhizoma (AO), traditionally used in Chinese medicine, on macular edema (ME) and identifies its active components.
- Through a combination of advanced analytical techniques and in vivo experiments with zebrafish, researchers found several compounds that can reach eye tissues and identified key biological pathways involved in ME treatment.
- The results suggest that one specific metabolite of AO, alisol A, may reduce ME by inhibiting TNF-α, providing new insights into the pharmacological mechanisms of AO.

Posterior ocular disease, a disease that accounts for 55% of all ocular diseases, can contribute to permanent vision loss if left without treatment. Due to the special structure of the eye, various obstacles make it difficult for drugs to reach lesions in the posterior ocular segment. Therefore, the development of highly permeable targeted drugs and delivery systems is particularly important.

Angiogenesis is the biological process in which existing blood vessels generate new ones and it is essential for body growth and development, wound healing, and granulation tissue formation. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) is a crucial cell membrane receptor that binds to VEGF to regulate angiogenesis and maintenance. Dysregulation of VEGFR signaling can lead to several diseases, such as cancer and ocular neovascular disease, making it a crucial research area for disease treatment.

Background: The destruction of blood eye barrier and the administration of corticosteroid eyedrops after phacoemulsification surgery can lead to the replication of the local potential pathogens. With the rapid increase and popularization of cataract surgery, all kinds of rare postoperative complications have appeared. Here, we report a case of interstitial keratitis and secondary glaucoma after cataract surgery, which may be related to late congenital syphilis, which eventually led to blindness in the right eye.
