Temporal trends in the epidemiology of childhood severe visual impairment and blindness in the UK

Lucinda J. Teoh et al.

Summary: This study investigates the changing epidemiology of severe visual impairment (SVI) and blindness (BL) in children in the UK in the 21st century. The overall incidence rates remained stable, with higher rates in infancy. Mortality among children diagnosed in infancy declined, despite an increase in the overall proportion with non-ophthalmic impairments/disorders. The relative contribution of different groups of disorders changed over time, with an increase in cerebral visual impairment and hereditary conditions. The study highlights the increasing complexity and heterogeneity of childhood visual disability.

The US National Trend for Retinopathy of Prematurity

Hany Aly et al.

Summary: Over the 16-year study period, there has been a national trend of increased ROP and severe ROP in very low birth weight preterm infants. This trend is associated with a significant increase in length of hospital stay in survived infants without changes in NEC.

Effect of Intravitreal Aflibercept vs Laser Photocoagulation on Treatment Success of Retinopathy of Prematurity The FIREFLEYE Randomized Clinical Trial

Andreas Stahl et al.

Summary: In infants with ROP, intravitreal aflibercept did not meet the criteria for noninferiority compared to laser photocoagulation in terms of treatment success at week 24. Rescue treatment was less required in the intravitreal aflibercept group, but the serious adverse event rates were higher in the laser photocoagulation group. Further data would be needed for more definitive conclusions on the comparative effects of these treatments.

Higher Visual Function Deficits in Children With Cerebral Visual Impairment and Good Visual Acuity

Arvind Chandna et al.

Summary: The study used HVFQI-51 inventory to detect HVFDs in children with CVI, showing clear distinction from typically developing children. HVFDs were mostly attributed to dorsal stream visual processing dysfunction, providing a deeper understanding of visual perceptual difficulties in children with CVI.

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

Jaimie D. Steinmetz et al.

Summary: The study assessed the prevalence and relative contribution of avoidable causes of blindness and vision impairment globally from 1990 to 2020, finding that there was no change in the global prevalence of avoidable blindness and vision impairment in adults aged 50 and older. Although the age-standardized prevalence of avoidable blindness decreased, avoidable moderate and severe vision impairment did not change.

Trends in Retinopathy of Prematurity Screening and Treatment: 2008-2018

S. Grace Prakalapakorn et al.

Summary: Analysis of data from US NICUs between 2008 and 2018 revealed an increased proportion of ROP screening among eligible infants, with a decrease in overall and severe ROP cases, retinal ablation procedures, and an increase in the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment. Despite the overall improvements, 10% of infants were still not screened for ROP, indicating a potential for further enhancement in healthcare delivery.

Motion Processing Deficits in Children With Cerebral Visual Impairment and Good Visual Acuity

Arvind Chandna et al.

Summary: Children with CVI show significant deficits in processing complex relative and rotary motion, but not absolute motion. These results support reports of difficulties with motion perception tasks in CVI children and suggest preferential damage to extra-striate visual motion areas.
