Article Abstract
The increasing global prevalence of myopia presents a significant public health concern, and growing evidence has demonstrated that myopia is a major risk factor for the development of open-angle glaucoma. Therefore, timely detection and management of glaucoma in myopic patients are crucial; however, identifying the structural alterations of glaucoma in the optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal tissues of myopic eyes using standard diagnostic tools such as fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA) presents challenges. Additionally, myopia-related perimetric defects can be confounded with glaucoma-related defects. We comprehensively examine the challenges encountered in evaluating glaucoma in myopic eyes through various diagnostic tools, including fundus photography, OCT of the ONH, retinal nerve fiber layer, and macular ganglion cell layer, OCTA, and perimetry. We also explore potential opportunities to address these challenges, providing insights for clinicians to effectively manage myopic glaucoma patients in clinical practice.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the factors influencing refractive error following Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation (PE + IOL) in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), providing a theoretical basis for preoperative consultation and IOL power selection in clinical practice.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 404 PACG patients from Shenzhen Eye Hospital between 2019 and 2024. Preoperative ocular biometric parameters and combined surgical approaches were evaluated using Spearman correlation, multinomial logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) remains a major cause of preventable blindness in premature infants worldwide, with increasing incidence due to advancements in neonatal care. Management of ROP has been revolutionised by anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatments. Pivotal clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of anti-VEGF in the management of Type 1 ROP, while investigation of safety and long-term effects is ongoing.

Interaction between Müller cells and microglia aggravates neuroinflammation, resulting in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death in glaucoma. Here, we investigated how tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) produced by activated microglia mediates the crosstalk between Müller cells and microglia and impacts RGC injury in a chronic ocular hypertension (COH) glaucoma model. In COH retinas, elevated TNF-α induced the activation of Müller cells and microglia, and recruited microglia to the ganglion cell layer.
