Ophthopedia Update:Interim Results of the Phase III Portal Extension Trial of the Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration: The Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) is approved in the United States for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Portal (NCT03683251) is evaluating long-term safety and tolerability of the PDS in patients with nAMD who completed the phase II Ladder (NCT02510794) or phase III Archway (NCT03677934) trials. #Ophthalmology #Retina #Ophthotwitter

Ophthopedia Update:Artificial intelligence in corneal diseases: A narrative review: Corneal diseases represent a growing public health burden, especially in resource-limited settings lacking access to specialized eye care. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising solutions for automating the diagnosis and management of corneal conditions. This narrative review examines the application of AI in corneal diseases, focusing on keratoconus, infectious keratitis, pterygium, dry eye disease, Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, and corneal transplantation. AI models integrating diverse imaging modalities (e.g., corneal topography, slit-lamp, and anterior segment OCT images) and clinical data have demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy, often outperforming human experts. #eye #Ophthalmology #CLAE

Ophthopedia Update:An Integrated 15-GEP/PRAME Tool May Improve Uveal Melanoma Prognostication: Good performance is seen with a new uveal melanoma prediction tool that combines 15-gene expression profile (15-GEP) data and screening for expression of a known metastasis-associated antigen (PRAME). #Ophthalmology #News

Ophthopedia Update:Does the visual field improve after initiation of intraocular pressure lowering in the United Kingdom Glaucoma Treatment Study?: Evidence to support the hypothesis that visual field (VF) status can improve after initiation of intraocular pressure (IOP) reducing treatment is controversial. We take advantage of participant eligibility data from the United Kingdom Glaucoma Treatment Study (UKGTS) to test this hypothesis in newly diagnosed glaucomatous patients randomised to IOP lowering therapy or placebo. #Ophthalmology #Ophthotwitter #Scicomm
