Preclinical, Journal: Real-Time In Vivo Monitoring of Eye Drop Concentration Using Boron-Doped Diamond Microelectrodes and Its Relevance to Drug Efficacy. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 7, 2025 A needle-shaped BDD microelectrode, with a respective length and tip diameter of ?200 and ?40 ?m, was used in the in vivo detection of brimonidine tartrate (BRM), which is a widely used antiglaucoma drug...Notably, the pharmacological effect of BRM, i.e., a reduced intraocular pressure, was observed 30 min after administration, lagging behind drug migration. These findings may provide valuable insights into the ocular pharmacokinetics of novel drugs and facilitate the development of more effective therapeutic approaches.

The number of optometrists holding postgraduate higher qualifications in glaucoma and IP in the UK has increased substantially. These data suggest that primary care optometrists are willing to upskill to gain the necessary glaucoma accreditations required to provide glaucoma care, potentially affording significant primary care capacity expansion to existing glaucoma services.

The self-cleaving mechanism of dendrimer hydrogels (DH) leads to enhanced and sustained delivery of the drugs in the treatment of cancer. Recent studies show the use of doxorubicinconjugated nanogel-based PAMAM dendrimer as a capable nanocarrier for the delivery of drugs in the treatment of cancer.

Review, Journal: Rho Kinase Inhibitors in Glaucoma Management: Current Perspectives and Future Directions. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 7, 2025 This review aims to provide an overview of ROCK inhibitors, focusing on their mechanisms of action, clinical efficacy, safety profiles, and additional benefits for eye health. Furthermore, further potential applications of ROCK inhibitors in glaucoma management are going to be discussed.

Together with tissue-specific knock-out or channel inhibition test, the exacerbation of TRPA1 on RGC degeneration as well as selective injury tendency under AOH was confirmed. In virtue of our modified whole-brain clearing method, our data confirmed the innovational method to study the mechanisms behind selective vulnerability of neuronal cells, and in the meantime revealed the potential therapeutic opportunity of targeting TRPA1 for patients suffering from AOH attack.

In virtue of our modified whole-brain clearing method, our data confirmed the innovational method to study the mechanisms behind selective vulnerability of neuronal cells, and in the meantime revealed the potential therapeutic opportunity of targeting TRPA1 for patients suffering from AOH attack. The progression of CMvD was more frequently observed in PXG eyes than POAG eyes and showed association with faster VF progression in PXG eyes.

The Michigan Screening and Intervention for Glaucoma and Eye Health through Telemedicine (MI-SIGHT) program offers a novel approach to eye care by providing free eye disease screenings, optical services, and care navigation at a federally qualified health center to improve vision outcomes and eye health in underserved communities. This time study provides workforce estimates to guide the scaling of similar comprehensive eye care programs in low-resource settings.

Preclinical, Journal: Multi-loaded PLGA microspheres as neuroretinal therapy in a chronic glaucoma animal model. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 3, 2025 The proposed formulation improved retinal ganglion cell (RGC) functionality examined by electroretinography. Also, it was able to maintain a neuroretinal thickness similar to that of healthy animals scanned by in vivo optical coherence tomography, and a higher RGC count on histology compared to glaucomatous animals at the end of the study.

We report two cases of female patients aged 31 and 37 years respectively with a diagnosis of BAIT syndrome who required management for ocular hypertension secondary to pigment dispersion syndrome including medical therapy and surgical management in one case. It is important to consider BAIT syndrome as a differential diagnosis in pigment dispersion syndrome or pseudo-uveitis cases because of the need for timely management to prevent visual loss secondary to glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
