Larger Orthokeratology Treatment Zone Decentration Inhibits Myopic Progression
Greater treatment zone decentration may lead to slower axial growth and a more oblate retinal shape, the study suggests.
Cluster Analysis Models Demonstrate Superiority to Pointwise Methods for Predicting Visual Field
Optical coherence tomography alone may not be sufficient in accurately predicting visual function across the entire macula, according to the report.
Retinal Vein Occlusion Linked With Thrombophilia, Non Vascular Factors in Younger Patients
Individuals older than 50 years with retinal vein occlusion have a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension compared with younger patients.

Diabetic Retinopathy Follow-Up Improved by Electronic Medical Records Program
Providers were able to re-engage 28% of patients lost to follow-up within 1 month, according to the report.
Choroidal Microvasculature Dropout Changes May Signal Glaucoma Progression
The association between faster microvasculature dropout and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thinning may be useful in assessing glaucoma progression, according to the report.
