🤩 What a week! Thank you for being part of it!

This year we united globally and fought for a glaucoma-free world during the World Glaucoma Week! Between 10-16 March, people from 64 countries joined an impressive amount of over 600 activities all around the globe.👏

But our mission does not stop after . In order to achieve our goal of alerting everyone to have regular eye and optic nerve checks to detect glaucoma as early as possible, we will keep spreading awareness and insights about .

The relatively modest sample size of the European validation set elicits concerns.

The main limitation of the study is the generalizability of the results.

This study's results, could place the XEN gel stent as a viable less-invasive alternative to trabeculectomy, especially when efficacy, safety, and patients' quality of life are weighted against each other.

The proportion of eye drops successfully reaching the eye was actually lower using the nose-pivoted delivery device, though this was not statistically significant.

It remains to be seen if this strategy can mediate consistent or neuroenhancement in human glaucoma.

What's new from Kugler Publications? 👀 Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has undergone tremendous growth since its first commercial introduction in 2014. Because it provides injection-free, capillary-resolution, 3-dimensional angiography of the retina and choroid, OCTA is likely to overtake fluorescein as the most important...

New article: Simulated zonular tension analysis in the presence of zonular disinsertion. Authors: Javier S. Martinez de Aragon, José R. Villada,Jose M. Ruiz-Moreno

Simulated zonular tension analysis in the presence of zonular disinsertion | Modeling and Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology Purpose: To analyze and understand the zonular tension and distribution of forces in the presence of zonular disinsertion in a model simulation with and without a capsular tension ring (CTR).
