Complications split sharply along treatment lines. Infection affected 1.9% of operatively treated patients, and implant irritation or the need for implant removal affected 12.3%, with no nonoperative counterpart for either event. The authors draw a practical conclusion from the pattern of results.
As air pollution levels rise, smog can do more than irritate the throat and affect breathing. Exposure to polluted air can also cause redness, dryness, itching and excessive watering of the eyes. These symptoms may become more noticeable when pollution…
Blepharoplasty risks include swelling, bruising, infection, dry eyes, and eyelid movement problems. Most patients recover without serious issues, but rare complications can affect eye health or vision. Your overall health, the surgeon’s technique, and proper aftercare all affect your recovery.
October 30, 2026 — 5:00am Our eyes are the windows to our soul. They may also be the windows to our heart. Researchers believe routine eye exams may soon be able to detect and predict systemic disease, including the risk of a heart attack…
The association held even after accounting for how often patients in each group saw an eye doctor, though it weakened somewhat.
Large-scale programs suffer from high costs and low diagnostic yields, but targeting specific groups such as those with pseudoexfoliation may make it worthwhile. In addition to tailoring screening programs to high-risk populations such as pseudoexfoliation patients, effective approaches should also…
As diagnostic technology improves, so too does our understanding of the natural history of various conditions amenable to imaging. Polarization-sensitive OCT can measure collagen birefringence, an optical property that relates to how well or poorly organized the fibers are. Higher…
A cross-sectional analysis of 4,748 adults found that lipid and inflammatory biomarkers showed only nominal or model-dependent associations with age-related macular degeneration.
A new Vision Mamba-based network with enhanced edge-guided attention achieves competitive optic disc and cup segmentation across four fundus image datasets, with cup-to-disc ratio measurements showing potential for glaucoma screening. Subject of Research: Deep learning segmentation of the optic disc…
Higher ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation exposure, directly related to time outdoors and sunlight exposure, was associated with reduced odds of myopia (nearsightedness), and exposure to UVB between ages 14 and 29 years was associated with the highest reduction in odds of adult…
