Intravitreal Bevacizumab versus Laser Therapy in Retinopathy of Prematurity: Analyzing Retreatment Rates, Timing, and Risk Predictors

This study compares retreatment rates and timing in retinopathy of prematurity among infants treated with intravitreal bevacizumab versus laser therapy, highlighting lower early retreatment rates and delayed intervention in the bevacizumab group, especially in high-risk premature infants.

Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Inhibition: A Double-Edged Sword in Cardiovascular Health and Age-Related Macular Degeneration Risk

Genetic analyses reveal that cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibition, while beneficial for cardiovascular disease, is associated with an increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) across European and East Asian populations, highlighting a critical safety concern.

Decoding Structure-Function Links in Early Atrophic Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Implications for Targeted Assessment and Management

This study reveals distinct structure-function correlations in early atrophic AMD, showing lesion size correlates with localized sensitivity loss, while lesion proximity to the fovea predicts central vision and reading outcomes, supporting the use of targeted functional assessments in clinical practice.
