However, emerging evidence from advanced imaging modalities-such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, and enhanced depth imaging (EDI-OCT)-has revealed a broader spectrum of ocular involvement, including significant alterations in the posterior segment. This narrative review explores the structural and vascular changes observed in the retina, choroid, macula, and optic nerve head in KC patients, drawing on findings from more than 40 peer-reviewed studies. Retinal thickening, particularly in the central and parafoveal regions, has been consistently reported, with some studies suggesting a correlation between retinal morphology and disease severity. Vascular density reductions, especially in the superficial capillary plexus and radial peripapillary capillaries, have also been documented, suggesting microvascular compromise potentially associated with KC progression. Choroidal thickness appears to be increased in both pediatric and adult populations, with some evidence linking these changes to disease stage and systemic factors such as atopy. Although findings on macular thickness are more variable, patterns of thickening in early disease and thinning in advanced stages have been observed. Alterations in optic nerve head morphology and retinal nerve fiber layer parameters have also been noted, particularly in advanced or post-surgical cases. Taken together, these posterior segment changes challenge the traditional anterior-centric view of KC and suggest a more systemic ocular remodeling process. Understanding these alterations may enhance disease staging, prognostication, and personalized management strategies. While current evidence supports the clinical relevance of posterior segment evaluation in KC, further longitudinal studies with standardized imaging protocols are needed to clarify causality, functional implications, and potential therapeutic targets.</p>","PeriodicalId":23054,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic Advances in Ophthalmology","volume":"18 ","pages":"25158414261462809"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13424498/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148654292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a summary of a publication about the 2-year (96-week) results from the PHOTON study, which was published in <i>Ophthalmology</i>. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a leading cause of vision loss in people with diabetes. In people with diabetes, leaky blood vessels in the retina can lead to swelling (known as edema) in the macula, the area of the retina at the back of the eye that is responsible for sharp vision. Swelling of the macula can cause blurred vision and vision loss. The main cause of leakiness in blood vessels is over-production of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Anti-VEGF medicines can block VEGF to prevent the development of leaky blood vessels and edema. These medicines are injected into the eye and may need to be given regularly to maintain good vision. Some people find it difficult to attend all the injection appointments that may be necessary to maintain good vision. Aflibercept is an anti-VEGF medicine that has been approved for the treatment of people with DME. After 5 initial monthly injections of aflibercept 2 mg, the recommended injection schedule is every 4-8 weeks. The objective of the PHOTON study was to find out whether a higher dose of aflibercept (8 mg), injected every 12 or 16 weeks after 3 initial monthly injections, was as effective as aflibercept 2 mg injected every 8 weeks after 5 initial monthly injections. A previous report from the PHOTON study showed that aflibercept 8 mg provided a similar level of improvement in vision to aflibercept 2 mg after 1 year (48 weeks) in people with DME. People who received aflibercept 8 mg received fewer and less frequent eye injections than those who received aflibercept 2 mg. What were the results? After 96 weeks, study participants who received aflibercept 8 mg every 12 weeks or longer following 3 initial monthly injections maintained similar improvements in vision, with fewer injections, compared to those treated with aflibercept 2 mg every 8 weeks following 5 initial monthly injections. During the 96-week study, study participants could receive aflibercept 8-mg injections more or less frequently than the schedule they were assigned depending on whether DME was worsening or improving. More than 80% of participants who were given aflibercept 8 mg and completed the study through 96 weeks kept receiving injections at least every 12 weeks without needing more frequent injections.At Week 96, almost half of the participants receiving aflibercept 8-mg treatment qualified for dosing intervals of at least 20 weeks, and around one-quarter were able to have their aflibercept 8-mg dosing interval extended to every 24 weeks. Adverse events in participants who received aflibercept 8 mg were similar to those in participants who received aflibercept 2 mg through 96 weeks. What do the results mean? These findings show that aflibercept 8 mg provided a similar level of improvement in vision to aflibercept 2 mg in people with DME","PeriodicalId":23054,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic Advances in Ophthalmology","volume":"18 ","pages":"25158414261459529"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13332283/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148391544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
