Amazing what modern medicine is capable of. Just amazing.
-Greg

A 67-year-old man presented with right central retinal artery occlusion (visual acuity: 20/2000) 17 hours after symptom onset and underwent vitrectomy at 20 hours. Cannulation with a 48-gauge microneedle and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) injection rendered the artery transparent (A). After tPA infusion for 3 minutes, arterial massage was applied using a soft-tip cannula. Subsequently, fragmented emboli migrated toward the peripheral retinal arterioles (B, arrows), a phenomenon observed multiple times. With no bleeding at the puncture site under normal infusion pressure, the procedure was concluded. Preoperative (C) and postoperative day 1 (D) OCT angiography confirmed reperfusion, and visual acuity improved marginally to 20/500. Earlier presentation and intervention may have better visual outcome.

Okay, it's not about the scans, they are super cool. It's about innovative thinking and advancement. Look out Glaucoma, we are gaining on you. -Dr. Greg

In a recent study, scientists used tiny magnets to steer stem cells into the eye’s drainage system. The result? Lower eye pressure for up to 9 months in lab models, offering hope for a cell-based therapy in the future.

The research is still in early stages, but it’s a big step toward more lasting, less invasive options for glaucoma care.
