Risk-Stratified Monitoring of Open Angle Glaucoma Suspects Based on Diagnostic Conversion Risk
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide affecting an estimated 53 million people in 2020 and projected 80 million people by 2040.1 In the United States (US), POAG is the most common subtype of glaucoma affecting approximately 1.4% to 6.8% of adults over 40 years of age.2 Due to the ocular morbidity and public health impact of POAG, individuals exhibiting risk factors during routine eye exams, such as elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) or enlarged cup to disc ratio (CDR), are diagnosed as open angle glaucoma suspects (OAGS) and undergo long-term monitoring for conversion to POAG.

Subclinical Peripheral Vascular Leakage in Demyelinating Disease-Associated Uveitis
Uveitis associated with demyelinating diseases, particularly multiple sclerosis (MS), most frequently presents as an intermediate uveitis or pars planitis.1-4 This subset of ocular inflammation follows a chronic, indolent course that often results in cumulative structural complications such as chronic cystoid macular edema, epiretinal membrane (ERM), and secondary neovascularization. Recent epidemiological updates from 2025 indicate that the burden of MS-associated uveitis is significant and increasing, necessitating more precise monitoring strategies.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Associated Uveitis: Insights From Comparative Analyses Across Malignancies and Drug Classes
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment of multiple malignancies, improving survival across melanoma, nonsmall cell lung cancer, and several other tumor types.1-4 Despite these benefits, ICIs can trigger immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that reflect dysregulated immune activation.5,6 Ocular irAEs, such as noninfectious uveitis (NIU), are uncommon but potentially vision-threatening. The American Society of Clinical Oncology highlights that NIU occurs in approximately 1% of patients receiving ICIs, with a potentially higher incidence in those on combination regimens.

Implementing Community-Based Adult Eye Screening in the United States: A CFIR-Guided Qualitative Study
Over the past century, community eye disease screening in the United States has evolved alongside shifting public health needs, medical progress, and persistent disparities. In the early 1900s, screening efforts focused on trachoma and were driven by federal immigration laws that mandated screening and denied entry into the US to those infected.1 These regulations led to the development of trachoma hospitals and mobile clinics, laying the foundation for community-based eye care. Around the same time, school vision screenings emerged and expanded nationwide.
