TL;DR: Smartphone ophthalmoscopy showed considerable agreement with dilated retinal biomicroscopy for the grading of DR, suggesting that the portability, affordability, and connectivity of a smartphone Ophthalmoscope make it a promising technique for community screening programs.

TL;DR: The clinical equivalence of this compound against ranibizumab is maintained even when the injections are administered at 8-week intervals, which indicates the potential to reduce the risk of monthly intravitreal injections and the burden of monthly monitoring.

TL;DR: Anti-inflammatory compounds such as intravitreal glucocorticoids, topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antioxidants, inflammatory molecule inhibitors, renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers and natural anti- inflammatory therapies may all be considered to reduce the rate of administration of antineovascularization agents in the treatment of DR.

TL;DR: The current literature and clinical trial data on the pathogenesis of PVR and its correlation with ocular trauma are reviewed and the biochemical/molecular events that will be fundamental for the development of novel treatment strategies are described.

TL;DR: The cross-polarization technique adopted in the optical design dramatically diminished corneal Purkinje reflections, making it possible to screen patients even through undilated pupils, and potentially eliminating problems of poor exam skills and inexperienced observer bias.
