Ocugen Inc announced that Health Canada provided a “No Objection Letter” to initiate the OCU400 Phase 3 liMeliGhT clinical trial in Canada. According to a news release, OCU400 is a modifier gene therapy product candidate being developed for retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The candidate is based on a nuclear hormone receptor gene called NR2E3, which regulates diverse physiological functions within the retina, such as photoreceptor maintenance and development, metabolism, inflammation, phototransduction, and cell survival.

A team of researchers from Nanyang Technology University Singapore have developed a flexible battery as thin as a human cornea, which has the ability to store electricity when it is immersed in saline solution, and ultimately could power smart contact lenses. According to an NTU news release, smart contact lens offers the capability of displaying visible information on the cornea and can be used to access augmented reality. It can be used to correct vision, monitor the health of the user, and flag and treat diseases for patients diagnosed with chronic health conditions such as glaucoma and diabetes. Going forward, smart contact lenses also could be developed to record and transmit everything a wearer sees and hears to cloud-based data storage. Read More: https://ow.ly/FgQ850T6kIh

A team of researchers in the Department of Ophthalmology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (CAMS) in Beijing, China is examining trends surrounding the cancellation of more complicated ophthalmic inpatient surgeries. While ophthalmic ambulatory surgeries generally are less costly and boost the efficient utilization of hospital resources, impatient surgeries proved to be preferred alternatives for patients with complicated eye issues or who were in overall poor health.

Omar R. Shakir, MD, MBA, gave insights into office-based vitrectomy in this month's edition of Ophthalmology Times: "As I sat down to gather my thoughts on the transformative power of office-based vitrectomy, my initial aim was a nuanced comparison with its counterparts—the hospital and the ambulatory surgery center (ASC). The more I thought about it, the more fervent my conviction was that office-based surgery is the future. I cannot dilute this argument by positioning office vitrectomy as a viable alternative: After having performed 450 sequential vitrectomies in the office, it is simply the better alternative. A paradigm shift is underway." Read More: https://ow.ly/wG5I50T6kHE

University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have identified small molecules that can reduce the production of proteins linked to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) — the leading cause of irreversible vision loss among seniors in industrialized nations. "To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a small molecule preventing AMD-like pathology in our preclinical model. In the big picture, these results provide hope that AMD may indeed be preventable, or at least modifiable by administration of a single drug," John Hulleman, PhD, an associate professor and Larson Endowed Chair for Macular Degeneration Research at the U of M Medical School and corresponding author, said in the news release.

A new Spanish study found that exercise, especially aerobic exercise, may help modulate intraocular pressure (IOP) and may serve as a complementary therapy for patients with glaucoma, according to the lead author Daniel González-Devesa, PhD, from the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, Universidad de León, León, Spain. Their rationale for delving into this topic is the recent studies that have reported that active and healthy living can reduce IOP. Many patients have consulted their doctors for lifestyle guidance based on this evidence. Read More: https://ow.ly/KuAU50T4jfO
