    Update on Regenerative Stem Cell Developments in Glaucoma

    Dr. Thomas Johnson sits down with host Dr. Andrew Pouw to share exciting developments in regenerative stem cell research that may one day cure glaucoma. Learn more about Dr. Johnson's work in a recent presentation he delivered on behalf of the Glaucoma Foundation, and through the Retinal Ganglion Cell Repopulation, Stem Cell Transplantation, and Optic Nerve Regeneration (RReSTORe) Consortium.  For all episodes or to claim CME credit for selected episodes, visit www.aao.org/podcasts.

    Retinitis Pigmentosa Treatment and the Role of Vitamin A

    Drs. Jason Comander and Rachel Huckfeldt join host Dr. Ben Young to review management considerations for patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The discussion highlights the winding story of nutritional supplementation recommendations for vitamin A, and the importance of reanalyzing data behind established care patterns. While the latest findings confirm that vitamin E supplementation should still be avoided, they no longer support any generalized neuroprotective effect of high-dose vitamin A for RP.  For all episodes or to claim CME credit for selected episodes, visit www.aao.org/podcasts.

    Semaglutide and NAION

    Dr. Peter Quiros joins host Dr. Amanda Redfern to discuss the recent JAMA Ophthalmology article "The Risk of Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in Patients Prescribed Semaglutide," the first study to report a possible association between semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic, Novo Nordisk) and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Dr. Quiros provides an overview of what the study showed and what remains unknown, and how ophthalmologists should discuss these recent findings with their patients. Check out the Semaglutide and NAION patient brochure, courtesy of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS), and available from www.nanosweb.org.

    Ocular Oncology Clinical Trial Update

    Drs. Maura Di Nicola and Basil Williams join host Dr. Jay Sridhar to discuss the latest ongoing ocular oncology clinical trials for the treatment of uveal melanoma and associated complications of radiation therapy. Their review begins with the DRCR Retina Network’s Protocol AL, which is studying the use of anti-VEGF agents or corticosteroids to reduce the occurrence of radiation retinopathy and consequent vision loss. Drs. Di Nicola and Williams also offer insights about the use of belzupacap sarotalocan (bel-sar) for early-stage choroidal melanoma (CoMpass trial), as well as adjuvant treatment with darovasertib, a protein kinase C inhibitor.

    Stickler Syndrome and Preventive Treatment

    Drs. Emmanuel Chang and Eric Nudleman join host Dr. Ben Young to review Stickler syndrome, when to suspect, and how to diagnose this condition that can lead to significant systemic manifestations and severe vision loss. The panel also discusses the role and evidence for prophylactic treatments to reduce the rate of retinal detachment, which can occur in up to 65% of affected patients.

    Eye Drop Waste in Ophthalmology Clinics

    Host Dr. Jay Sridhar welcomes Dr. Gareth Lema to discuss his group's recent study published in Ophthalmology that quantified the amount of eye drop waste in ophthalmic clinics and the implications for practice. When handled appropriately, argues Dr. Lema, eye drops can be used until the FDA-regulated expiration date, and thus help reduce both their carbon footprint and costs while still providing safe and effective patient care.
