Global Causes of Blindness and Distance Vision Impairment 1990-2020: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Seth Flaxman, +109 more
TL;DR: A series of regression models were fitted to estimate the proportion of moderate or severe vision impairment and blindness by cause, age, region, and year, and found that world regions varied markedly in the causes of blindness and vision impairment in this age group.

A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants

Lars G. Fritsche, +185 more
- 01 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that rare coding variants can pinpoint causal genes within known genetic loci and illustrate that applying the approach systematically to detect new loci requires extremely large sample sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causes of blindness and vision impairment in 2020 and trends over 30 years, and prevalence of avoidable blindness in relation to VISION 2020: the Right to Sight: an analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study.

TL;DR: Results suggest eye care services contributed to the observed reduction of age-standardised rates of avoidable blindness but not of MSVI, and that the target in an ageing global population was not reached.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ten years of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy

TL;DR: The discovery of V EGFA, the successes and challenges in the development of VEGFA inhibitors and the impact of these agents on the treatment of cancers and ophthalmic diseases are discussed.

Meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology - A proposal for reporting

TL;DR: A checklist contains specifications for reporting of meta-analyses of observational studies in epidemiology, including background, search strategy, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion should improve the usefulness ofMeta-an analyses for authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and decision makers.

Theory of probability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the concept of direct probabilities, approximate methods and simplifications, and significant importance tests for various complications, including one new parameter, and various complications for frequency definitions and direct methods.

Ranibizumab for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: Intravitreal administration of ranibizumab for 2 years prevented vision loss and improved mean visual acuity, with low rates of serious adverse events, in patients with minimally classic or occult (with no classic lesions) choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration.

Ranibizumab versus Verteporfin for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: Ranibizumab was superior to verteporfin as intravitreal treatment of predominantly classic neovascular age-related macular degeneration, with low rates of serious ocular adverse events and treatment improved visual acuity on average at 1 year.
