Patients with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) were found to have significantly higher rates of several co-occurring ocular conditions compared with matched controls from the general population, according to a study. Researchers evaluated patients with at least two IRD ICD-10 codes and compared them with controls who had documented eye exams, using 1:1 propensity matching based... ...
Low-dose atropine did not significantly slow myopia progression in children with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) after accounting for age-related changes, according to...
A recent review highlights advancements in imaging technologies that could revolutionize inherited retinal disease (IRD) diagnostics and treatment. Researchers conducted a systematic...

Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is not an ideal outcome measure for clinical trials in choroideremia, especially in early and mid-stage disease, according to a new study that shows BCVA is...
Early-stage retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is associated with significant retinal and choroidal changes, according to a study. Specifically, the study found that patients with RP showed reduced macular pigment optical density...
A simplified electro-oculography (EOG) protocol integrated into full-field electroretinography (ffERG) offers comparable diagnostic accuracy to the standard EOG method for detecting retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) dysfunction, according to a study....
Key retinal signs, such as geographic macular degeneration and hyperopia, are more prevalent in patients with CRB1 mutation compared to other inherited retinal diseases, according to a study. The multicenter...
A recent study underscores significant racial disparities in the effectiveness of wide-panel genetic testing for inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), with Black patients exhibiting lower genetic detection rates compared to non-Hispanic...
Patients with choroideremia (CHM) exhibit significantly reduced retinal oxygen levels compared to those with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and healthy controls, according to a study. This reduction is likely due to...
A novel disease registry, named Fight Inherited Retinal Blindness! (FIRB!), has been developed to monitor the natural history and treatment outcomes of gene therapy in patients with inherited retinal diseases...
The global burden of blindness has increased over recent decades, primarily due to rising disease severity in specific conditions, according to a new study. This trend highlights a gap between...
