Two eyes were being treated with faricimab for nAMD, and the other 2 eyes were treated for diabetic macular edema.InterventionPatients exposed to faricimab after the prior development of mild IOI.Main Outcomes and MeasuresClinical symptoms, signs, and clinical course of patients who were diagnosed with ORV following rechallenge with faricimab.ResultsMild IOI developed in 4 eyes following faricimab, and ORV developed in 3 eyes with repeated challenge. This resulted in profound, irreversible vision loss, despite treatment with topical and systemic steroids. In the eye that did not develop ORV following rechallenge, there have been no repeated adverse events despite restarting intravitreal faricimab injections.Conclusions and RelevanceGiven these observations with repeated challenge, caution is advisable when using the same biologic after the development of even mild IOI with prior injection. It appears an immunological memory response is elicited with these repeated exposures, resulting in the development of ORV.","PeriodicalId":14518,"journal":{"name":"JAMA ophthalmology","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143021095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finding ways to minimize this astigmatism is important.ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes of femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) and toric intraocular lens (TIOL) implantation for astigmatism correction in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted between October 2021 and September 2023 at the Eye Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, China. Patients with mild to moderate regular corneal astigmatism ranging from 0.75 diopters (D) to 3.00 D were recruited.InterventionsPatients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive FSAK or TIOL implantation.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was the subjective manifest refraction assessed at 3 months postoperatively.ResultsA total of 196 patients (mean [SD] age, 68.4 [13.7] years; 124 female [63%]) were randomized to the FSAK group (98 [50%]) or TIOL group (98 [50%]), and 92 patients (94%) and 95 patients (97%), respectively, finished the 3-month follow-up. At 3 months postoperatively, there was no difference in the refractive astigmatism between the 2 groups (mean [SD], 0.64 [0.64] D vs 0.54 [0.55] D; difference, 0.11 D; 95% CI, −0.06 to 0.27 D; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .21).

Subgroup analyses showed that TIOL implantation achieved lower residual astigmatism compared with FSAK when treating astigmatism exceeding 1.5 D or against-the-rule astigmatism.Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this randomized clinical trial demonstrate that in study participants with mild to moderate astigmatism undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, FSAK was not superior to TIOL implantation for astigmatism correction. However, for astigmatism exceeding 1.5 D or against-the-rule astigmatism, TIOL implantation demonstrated greater efficacy over FSAK. Future trials are needed to determine if there is greater efficacy of TIOL implantation over FSAK as suggested by subgroup analyses.Trial RegistrationChiCTR.org.cn Identifier: <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https://www.chictr.org.cn/hvshowproject.html?id=99663&amp;amp;amp;v=1.0\">ChiCTR2100051066</jats:ext-link>","PeriodicalId":14518,"journal":{"name":"JAMA ophthalmology","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enrollment was from September 2019 through January 2021; follow-up was completed in January 2024. In the BLINK2 Study, all children wore high-add (+2.50 diopter [D]) multifocal soft contact lenses for 2 years and single-vision soft contact lenses during the third year to determine if rebound occurred.ExposureHigh-add multifocal soft contact lenses and single-vision soft contact lenses.Main Outcomes and MeasuresEye length (optical biometry) and refractive error (cycloplegic autorefraction) were measured annually.ResultsOf 248 participants enrolled in BLINK2, 235 completed the study.

After participants switched from multifocal to single-vision contact lenses, axial elongation increased by 0.03 mm per year (95% CI, 0.01 to 0.05) regardless of their original BLINK treatment assignment (P = .81). There was also an increase in myopia progression after switching to single-vision lenses of -0.17 D per year (95% CI, -0.22 to -0.12) that did not depend on the original BLINK treatment assignment (P = .57). There continued to be a difference in axial length and refractive error throughout BLINK2 based on the BLINK Study treatment assignment with the original high-add group having shorter eyes and less myopia than the original medium-add (+1.50 D) and single-vision groups.Conclusions and RelevanceThe BLINK2 Study found no evidence of a loss of treatment effect after discontinuing multifocal contact lenses in older teenagers.

Anti-VEGF agents must be stored in the refrigerator to avoid bacterial contamination or denaturation. Some cases of severe intraocular inflammation have been reported following IVT of more recently approved anti-VEGF agents, which might be explained by thermal instability.ObjectiveTo investigate whether patients followed the storage temperature guidelines for intravitreal anti-VEGF agents in daily clinical practice.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis quality improvement study, performed between May 27 and June 7, 2024, at the Ophthalmology Department of Dijon University Hospital in Dijon, France, included all consecutive patients with new or renewed prescriptions for intravitreal anti-VEGF agents for any macular disease.Main Outcomes and MeasuresAll participants were given a time-temperature indicator that changed color according to brief (2-12 hours), moderate (12-48 hours), and prolonged (≥48 hours) exposure over 8 °C. The indicator was activated at the time of the anti-VEGF agent delivery to the participant in community pharmacies.ResultsDuring the study period, 50 participants were prescribed intravitreal anti-VEGF agents and were given a time-temperature indicator. A total of 38 participants (24 [63.2%] female; median age, 79.3 [IQR, 74.3-86.3] years) returned for their IVT with an analyzable indicator. Of the 38 analyzable indicators, all showed temperature excursions above the threshold of 8 °C, including 26 (68.4%) for 12 to 48 hours and 11 (28.9%) for 48 hours or longer. Following anti-VEGF agent IVT, no participant experienced any ocular adverse effect that might be associated with severe intraocular inflammation.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this quality improvement study, temperature excursions of anti-VEGF agents above 8 °C for 48 hours or longer were recorded for 28.9% of participants during home storage. While it is unknown how these 38 participants relate to other patients worldwide who are required to obtain their own anti-VEGF agents, these findings suggest that patients need education about the importance of rigorous maintenance of cold storage of their anti-VEGF agents.","PeriodicalId":14518,"journal":{"name":"JAMA ophthalmology","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
