New in EYE OPEN - How does the conjunctival fornix change as the eye moves?

Using high-resolution orbital MRI, this pilot study provides the first 3D quantitative assessment of the fornix across different gaze positions and eyelid closure.

The findings show that fornix depth, volume, surface area and distance from the cornea vary with eye position. This supports viewing the conjunctival fornix as a dynamic structure rather than a fixed anatomical space.

The results could inform ocular surface disease assessment, surgical planning and the design of fornix-based implants.

New in Eye: understanding congenital craniofacial anomalies through the lens of embryonic development.

From the 2025 Cambridge Ophthalmology Symposium, 'Embryogenesis and the Eye', this review explores the key mechanisms of embryodysgenesis that contribute to abnormal development of the eyelids and bony orbit. It examines two major groups of congenital anomalies, premature craniosynostoses and congenital craniofacial clefting disorders, alongside their underlying causes, classification and current approaches to diagnosis and management.

The review also highlights the advantages of an adapted Tessier clockface system for classifying craniofacial clefts into four regional areas, offering valuable insights for clinicians and researchers working in this complex field.

[EYE OPEN] Can AI predict visual acuity from wide-field fundus photos?

Our latest research suggests not yet.

Using more than 17,000 wide-field colour fundus images, this study found that current deep learning models achieved only modest accuracy, even when patient demographics and disease-specific data were included.

The findings highlight the limitations of colour fundus imaging alone and reinforce the importance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multimodal imaging in developing more accurate AI models for ophthalmology.

[EYE OPEN] Can choroidal thickness help us better understand diabetic eye disease?

A new systematic review examined 24 observational studies published between 2010 and 2025 investigating the relationship between diabetes and choroidal thickness measured by OCT.

The overall picture suggests that diabetes affects the choroid, with thinning becoming more apparent as DR progresses. This supports the potential role of choroidal thickness as a non-invasive biomarker of diabetic choroidopathy.

The review also highlights a key challenge: substantial variation in imaging protocols, study populations, and outcome measures makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions.

Future longitudinal studies and greater standardisation of OCT imaging will be important to determine whether changes in choroidal thickness can help predict disease progression and guide clinical management.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association between diabetes mellitus (types 1 and 2) and choroidal thickness (CT) as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for....

New research in EYE OPEN reports two-year real-world outcomes of faricimab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

The study found that treatment-naïve patients maintained both visual and structural improvements over 104 weeks, with more than half achieving treatment intervals of 12 weeks or longer. In treatment-experienced patients, retinal anatomy improved, but visual outcomes were more variable, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring to avoid undertreatment.
