p66Shc contributes to high glucose-induced injury in human retinal pigment epithelial cells via the Sos1–Rac1 axis
Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) dysfunction contributes to diabetic retinopathy (DR), but the upstream molecular mediators linking hyperglycemia to mitochondrial injury in RPE cells remain incompletely defined. This study investigated w...

Magnetic resonance imaging in identifying dysthyroid optic neuropathy: a systematic review
Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is the most critical vision-threatening complication of thyroid eye disease (TED), yet no gold standard exists for its identification in clinical practice. Emerging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studi...

Changes in epiretinal macrophage-like cells correlate with treatment outcomes following anti-VEGF therapy in branch retinal vein occlusion
This retrospective longitudinal study investigated the changes in epiretinal macrophage-like cells (eMLC) density following anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy for macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusi...

Short-term neurovascular and structural changes induced by single-dose 0.01% atropine in pseudophakic myopic children
To investigate the short-term neurovascular and structural effects of a single instillation of 0.01% atropine in pseudophakic eyes of myopic children. This retrospective repeated measures study enrolled 29 children aged 6–12 years with 4...

Empowering non-ophthalmic clinicians in risk stratification of vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: from routine blood tests to ophthalmology referral
Early identification of vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR) is critical to prevent visual impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This multicenter prognostic study first conducted a meta-analysis of publis...

Association of methionine-cycle dysregulation and reduced betaine with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal microvascular alterations
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is the most vision-threatening stage of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a condition increasingly recognized as a neurovascular disorder in which dysregulation of the methionine cycle may impair the ret...

Vascularized retinal organoids and vascularization strategies for retinopathy 3-dimensional modeling
Neovascular retinopathy is characterized by pathological angiogenesis and remains one of the leading causes of vision loss. Vascularized retinal organoids (vROs) have emerged as advanced three-dimensional (3D) models that recapitulate re...

RPE65 deficiency disrupts inner retinal architecture via impaired VGF signaling in LCA
Mutations in RPE65 cause Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), a condition classically characterized by photoreceptor degeneration; however, its inner retinal involvement remains poorly defined. We identified two Chinese siblings with LCA ha...

Deciphering the gut–eye axis: evidence from observational and genetic analyses linking inflammatory bowel disease with ocular disorders
Ocular comorbidities in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have gained increasing attention, with the gut–eye axis hypothesized as a potential biological bridge. However, the genetic architecture and underlying mechanisms remain underexplo...
