More ophthalmology trends
All specialties →Longer-acting anti-VEGF
Faricimab and high-dose aflibercept for retinal disease.
Myopia control in children
Atropine drops, defocus lenses and orthokeratology to slow myopia.
Key point: In myopic children, atropine efficacy increased nonlinearly with concentration and may plateau, while higher doses were associated with decreased accommodation and photophobia.
Ischaemic optic neuropathy
Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy, including reports linked to GLP-1 drugs.
Key point: In acute NAION, increased early optic nerve head swelling rates were associated with visual field and visual acuity worsening by month 6.
Diabetic retinopathy screening
Screening for diabetic retinopathy, including autonomous AI.
Gene therapy for inherited retinal disease
Gene therapy and optogenetics for inherited retinal dystrophies.
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery
MIGS devices and procedures.
Key point: Phaco-iStent and phaco-KDB both significantly reduced intraocular pressure and glaucoma medication burden with few postoperative complications.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
("artificial intelligence"[tiab] OR "deep learning"[tiab]) AND (retina*[tiab] OR fundus[tiab] OR "optical coherence tomography"[tiab])Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
