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...

Meta-analysis Links Chronic Kidney Disease to Higher Odds of AMD
The farther kidney function falls, the stronger it may be linked to AMD. The eye and the kidney may seem unrelated, but researchers have long investigated whether the two organs are more closely connected than previously thought. A new comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology found that chronic kidney...

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....
Research & Evidence
Scientists Uncover the Eye’s Hidden Drainage Network
Turns out the eye has been quietly running its own plumbing system behind the retina, and researchers just found the pipes. Scientists have long understood how fluid drains from the front of the eye, but the back of the eye has kept its secrets…until now. Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the...
Glaucoma
High Ketone Levels Linked to Greater Glaucoma Risk in UK Biobank Study
IOP has company. New research points to ketones as glaucoma’s quiet co-conspirator. Glaucoma has traditionally been viewed through the lens of intraocular pressure, but it turns out the body’s metabolism may have something to say too. A large prospective study published in Ophthalmology Science found that people with higher blood ketone levels were more likely...

The Art of the Flap
Beyond closure, rebuilding the fovea A closed macular hole is not always a restored fovea. For large, myopic, chronic and refractory holes, the inverted ILM flap turns tissue once peeled away into a scaffold for repair. On optical coherence tomography (OCT), a macular hole can appear closed even when the fovea hasn’t truly recovered. The...

The Surgical Copilot
AI and modern retina surgery AI has already learned how to read retinal scans. Now, it’s beginning to enter the OR, predicting outcomes, tracking instruments and reshaping what surgical assistance may look like in vitreoretinal care. The operating room depends on a choreography of vision, timing and instinct. In vitreoretinal surgery, much of the work...

The Membrane Wars
ERM, ILM and where to stop One membrane is the problem. The other may be the solution…or an unnecessary casualty. Retina surgeons remain divided on where the peel should end. For decades, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling has been the standard surgical treatment for symptomatic macular puckers, reliably improving vision and...No entries were found for this taxonomy term.
