Article Abstract

Continuous monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) is critical for the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Flexible piezoresistive wearable devices, featuring high sensitivity and simple signal processing, enable such continuous monitoring. Recently, conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown promising potential in electronic devices due to their coordination self-assembly, which allows integration with various complex substrates for wearable sensor applications. Here, we present a flexible piezoresistive sensor with a layered fiber structure, achieved through in situ assembly of Cu(HHTP) on poly(ether sulfone) (PES) fibers using a template method. The resulting sensor exhibits excellent signal stability, high sensitivity (8.10 kPa), a rapid response time (34 ms), and over 10,000 cycles of stability. Additionally, finite element analysis of corneal stress guided the design and fabrication of an IOP sensor encapsulated in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) contact lens. Preliminary feasibility of the sensor was validated through tests on porcine eye, demonstrating its potential for wearable human applications.

Background: To describe clinical features, risk factors and outcomes of out-of-the-bag (OTB) intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation in dead bag syndrome (DBS).

Methods: Retrospective review of a single-surgeon series of eyes with IOLs that developed OTB IOL dislocation, managed at Singapore National Eye Centre (January 2014-December 2021), with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up. Eyes with OTB IOL dislocation following secondary IOL implantation and intraoperative capsule complications were excluded.

Purpose: To evaluate visual, anatomical and safety outcomes of aflibercept 8 mg in previously treated patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Methods: This retrospective study included nAMD patients switched to aflibercept 8 mg from prior anti-VEGF therapies at Sahlgrenska University Hospital between February 2024 and February 2025. Data on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT), pigment epithelial detachment (PED) height, fluid status, treatment intervals, time to fluid recurrence and adverse events were collected.

Two patients (a 7-year-old female and a 61-year-old male) had poor intraocular pressure control after XEN gel stent implantation. During the process of filtering bleb repair, the XEN gel implant retreated into the anterior chamber, and the limbal and corneal incisions were made. After the implant in the anterior chamber was taken out, it was implanted into the anterior chamber again from the original scleral tunnel for the female patient, while it was re-punctured into the anterior chamber with a 1-ml syringe needle at another site for the male patient.

The prevalence of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) in China stands at 1%. The inappropriate demarcation of normal intraocular pressure values may lead to misdiagnosis. The Glaucoma Group of Ophthalmology Branch of Chinese Medical Association released the consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of NTG in 2019, which established important clinical guidelines for the NTG management.

The rise of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has brought new options to glaucoma treatment. However, there are significant differences between MIGS and traditional trabeculectomy in terms of surgical philosophy, applicable populations, and long-term efficacy. As a classic procedure, trabeculectomy achieves a well-documented intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect but is associated with a higher risk of complications.
