ADHD Linked to Higher Risk of Keratoconus, Study Finds
ADHD patients may have more on their plate than focus issues…add corneal risk to the list. The eye and the brain may shave another point of connection. A large retrospective study published in the Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology found an independent association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and keratoconus in adults, adding to the...

Scientists Develop Nine-Point Corneal Scan to Spot Keratoconus Sooner
Twenty milliseconds is all it takes, and researchers say every millisecond of resolution counts. Keratoconus may start changing how the cornea behaves before those changes become visible on conventional imaging. A prototype optical coherence tomography (OCT) system that measures the cornea’s response to an air puff at nine locations simultaneously could catch it sooner, according...

Good Wine, Young Cells and Standing Laser Surgery on Day 2 of APGC 2026
From wine-inspired cell therapy to gene biofactories, Saturday’s SNEC Plenary turned six career tributes into a forward-looking masterclass. “This is my home and will always be my home, wherever I may be in the world.” Prof. Tien Yin Wong (Singapore/China) opened with that line, the first of six lectures in a morning built around achievement....

The Cornea Capital
How Rotterdam rewrote the rules of corneal surgery For decades, corneal surgeons replaced the whole to fix a part. In Rotterdam, that logic was flipped, ushering in precision-layer surgery with better outcomes, steeper learning curves and a global rollout still catching up. For a century, corneal transplantation meant removing the entire cornea and suturing in...
Visionary Voices
Dr. James Aquavella, Founder and Former President of Cornea Society, Dies at 94
The field of cornea loses one of its earliest architects and one of its longest-serving voices. The man who helped give thousands of patients a clearer view of the world has taken his final bow. Dr. James Aquavella, a pioneering corneal surgeon credited with advancing artificial cornea transplantation, ambulatory ophthalmic surgery and ocular surface research...
Myopia
COVID Restrictions Linked to Increased Astigmatism in Schoolchildren, Study Finds
Myopia stole the pandemic spotlight, but data suggests corneal astigmatism was quietly climbing too. Most pandemic-era pediatric eye discussions centered on myopia progression. Astigmatism, it turns out, had its own agenda. A 2025 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology reported increased rates of refractive and corneal astigmatism among schoolchildren following COVID-19 restrictions, with changes becoming more...
Clinical Trials
Cornea Donor Study by Jonathan Lass Named JAMA Ophthalmology’s Clinical Trial of the Year
JAMA’s top trial nod goes to a DEKS study that’s turning heads (and maybe donor rules). A corneal surgeon at Case Western Reserve University (USA) made a strong case for giving diabetic donor tissue another look, and JAMA Ophthalmology took notice. Dr. Jonathan Lass, a professor at the university’s Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences,...

Ophthalmology Fellowship ROI: Three Years to Never, Study Finds
Fellowship choice in ophthalmology could cost—or earn—millions. The math may surprise you. Not all ophthalmology fellowships are created equal…financially speaking. A new study in JAMA Ophthalmology puts hard numbers on a question most residents wrestle with quietly: is the extra year of training actually worth it? The short answer depends entirely on which fellowship you...No entries were found for this taxonomy term.
