Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Early CRT monitoring using time-domain optical coherence tomography does not add to visual acuity for predicting visual loss in patients with central retinal vein occlusion treated with intravitreal ranibizumab:A secondary analysis of trial data [PDF]
Our primary purpose was to assess the clinical (predictive) validity of central retinal thickness (CRT) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 1 week and 1 month after starting treatment with ranibizumab for central retinal vein occlusion.

The oscillatory response of the electroretinogram and neuronal adaptation
Abstract After more than 50 years, there still remains a challenge and an interest to know more as well as extend and deepen our understanding of the small rapid wavelets, the oscillatory potentials (OPs), of the electroretinogram (ERG) and the neuronal adaptation of the retina.

The impact of systemic long‐term medications for the development of age‐related macular degeneration
Abstract Purpose Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of central vision loss in the elderly; however, the systemic factors that modulate its incidence and progression remain unclear. We sought to determine whether long‐term use of systemic medications, including diabetes and antithrombotic medications, corticosteroids and ...
