Lutein/Zeaxanthin Tops Beta Carotene in Reducing Late AMD, Lung Cancer Risk 💊
Patients who took AREDS supplements with the former were significantly less likely to develop either condition over time.
The first Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), which investigated whether nutritional supplements can prevent or slow the development of cataracts or age-related macular degeneration (AMD), found that beta carotene may lead to an increased risk of lung cancer. For this reason, the nutrient was replaced with lutein/zeaxanthin for half of the patients of the AREDS2 study.
Researchers recently performed a follow-up study of participants from the trial to determine the long-term outcomes of using beta carotene vs. lutein/zeaxanthin. They determined that while the former nearly doubled a patient’s risk of developing lung cancer, no such risk existed from taking lutein/zeaxanthin. The nutrient also seemed to be superior in preventing or slowing late AMD progression. reviewofoptometry.com/article/lutein-zeaxanthin-tops-beta-carotene-in-reducing-late-amd-lung-cancer-risk

"Visually Handicapped" —This patient’s medical history and genetics played a key role in in finding the correct diagnosis.

➡ A 35-year-old mentally handicapped Hispanic male presented with his mother for a second opinion on possible treatment options to help him see better. He reported a gradual painless, progressive loss of vision in both eyes that started at about nine years old. His mother reported that his vision was so poor by age 14 that he was only able to detect light.

➡ His medical history is significant for mental delay. He also has hearing loss and polycystic kidney disease. As a child, he had strabismus surgery on the right eye to improve alignment and also had surgery to remove extra toes.

➡ On examination, he had only light perception vision in each eye. Though his extraocular alignment appeared normal, he did have roving eye movements. His pupils were equal, round and reactive to light; there was no afferent pupillary defect. Tensions by applanation tonometry measured 12mm Hg in each eye. The anterior segment was unremarkable.

Socioeconomic Status Impacts Keratoconus Severity, Progression
Non-white race and greater hardships ultimately contributed to higher rates of corneal transplantation.

Determining the social factors that influence disease is critical in identifying ways to reduce incidence and improve outcomes. In a recent study, researchers set their eyes specifically on the social determinants of health for keratoconus and their relationship with disease severity and progression. Several factors were found to be associated with more severe disease as well as with corneal transplantation.

Exfoliative Patients Report Reduced Smell Sensitivity
This may have important implications regarding the effect of the neurodegenerative process on glaucoma pathogenesis.

Providing new insight into glaucoma’s association with neurodegenerative diseases, researchers recently found that patients with exfoliative glaucoma and exfoliation syndrome have reduced smell sensitivity and identification compared with those who have primary open-angle glaucoma and those without glaucoma.

A Spot of Trouble 🔴
No one wants to see a dark patch in the posterior segment. What factors in this case might help you weigh its significance?

A 45 y/o female reported to the office for a six-month posterior segment follow up without complaints. Her acuity was good, there was no history of glaucoma or blunt trauma, she was neither diabetic nor hypertensive and reported no allergies of any kind. She had an ocular history of a posterior segment finding requiring monitoring (seen below).
The only concern was the posterior segment finding after a series of diagnostic tests. How would you handle this case?

Retinal Changes Not Connected to COVID-19🦠
Unlike previously thought, a recent study shows ocular findings in patients who tested positive were brought on by pre-existing conditions.

“Importantly, in a subset of eyes with no pre-existing conditions (many of which were contralateral ‘healthy’ eyes in patients with monocular conditions such as rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or retinal vein occlusion), no findings that could be associated with COVID-19 were seen,” the study authors concluded.

Pregnancy Can Cause Temporary Keratoconus Progression in CXL Patients 🤰
Within 2.5 years after delivery, corneal curvature had returned to normal, study finds.

Crosslinked corneas steepened during pregnancy in 41.7% of the patients; however, corneas flattened by nearly the same amount post-delivery by the end of the follow-up period. Pregnancy did not alter any of the refractive or visual parameters in crosslinked corneas, suggesting that the temporary change in corneal curvature could be attributed to a hormonal cause.
