Article Abstract
Anterior chamber depth (ACD) is a key anatomical risk factor for primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on ACD to discover novel genes for PACG on a total of 5,308 population-based individuals of Asian descent. Genome-wide significant association was observed at a sequence variant within ABCC5 (rs1401999; per-allele effect size = -0.045 mm, P = 8.17 × 10(-9)). This locus was associated with an increase in risk of PACG in a separate case-control study of 4,276 PACG cases and 18,801 controls (per-allele OR = 1.13 [95% CI: 1.06-1.22], P = 0.00046). The association was strengthened when a sub-group of controls with open angles were included in the analysis (per-allele OR = 1.30, P = 7.45 × 10(-9); 3,458 cases vs. 3,831 controls). Our findings suggest that the increase in PACG risk could in part be mediated by genetic sequence variants influencing anterior chamber dimensions.

Objective: To evaluate the measurement accuracy of 2 swept-source optical biometers, the IOLMaster 700 and the Revo FC 130, in patients diagnosed with cataracts.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational and comparative study in patients older than 40 years with cataracts. A single operator performed optical biometry using both devices during the same session.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between variability of preoperative ocular biometric measurements and the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation.
Methods: This retrospective study included cataract patients who underwent surgery at the People's Hospital of Baoan Shenzhen from January 2022 to December 2024. Preoperative ocular biometric parameters were measured using the Lenstar LS-900, and the coefficients of variation (CV) of corneal curvature (K1-CV, K2-CV), axial length (AL-CV), anterior chamber depth (ACD-CV) were calculated.

To evaluate B-scan echographic features of endophthalmitis for their correlation with disease characteristics and long-term vision outcomes. Patients diagnosed with endophthalmitis at Massachusetts Eye and Ear between 2011 and 2021 were recruited (N = 209). Data included demographics, infection source, initial therapy, and findings from culture isolates, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp, and B-scan ultrasonography.

Purpose: To investigate the impact of donor diabetes mellitus on donor corneal tissue in organ culture on graft preparation, surgical outcomes, and graft survival.
Methods: Retrospective comparison of 273 eyes (218 patients) undergoing DMEK, divided into 2 subgroups [0: donor without diabetes (n = 210); D: donor with diabetes (n = 63)]. The data of visual acuity (VA), central corneal thickness (CCT) and endothelial cell count (ECC), and intra- and postoperative complications were collected.
