    Abstract Purpose: To determine prevalence of anisomyopia (axial length (AL) difference ≥2.5 mm) among high myopes ((HMs), defined by spherical equivalent of ≤6.0 diopters or AL ≥ 26.5 mm). To characterise the shorter anisomyopic eye (SAE) and evaluate if pathologic myopia (PM) in the longer anisomyopic eye (LAE) was associated with increased risk of PM in the SAE.
    Methods: 1168 HMs were recruited from Singapore National Eye Centre clinic for this cross-sectional study. Biometry, fundus photography and swept-source optical coherence tomography were performed. Patients with high axial anisomyopia were identified. Structural characteristics and presence of PM were described. Stepwise multivariate regression explored associations between PM in the LAE and pathology in the SAE, controlling for confounding variables.
    Results: Prevalence of anisomyopia was 15.8% (184 of 1168 patients). Anisomyopic patients (age 65.8±13.5 years) had mean AL of 30.6±2.0 mm and 26.2±2.3 mm in the LAE and SAE, respectively. 52.7% of SAEs had AL < 26.5 mm. Prevalence of myopic macular degeneration, macula-involving posterior staphyloma (PS), myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) and myopic choroidal neovascularisation (mCNV) in the SAE was 52.2%, 36.5%, 13.0% and 8.2%, respectively. Macular hole in the LAE was associated with increased risk of MTM in the SAE (OR=4.88, p=0.01). mCNV in the LAE was associated with mCNV in the SAE (OR=3.57, p=0.02). PS in the LAE was associated with PS in the SAE (OR=4.03, p<0.001).
    Conclusions: Even when controlled for AL, PM complications in the LAE predict similar PM complications in the SAE. Patients with high axial anisometropia with PM in the LAE should be monitored carefully for complications in the SAE.

    Abstract Inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factors are used to treat a myriad of retinal conditions, including exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular oedema (DME) and diabetic retinopathy. Although effective, long-term efficacy is limited by the need for frequent and invasive intravitreal injections. The quest for sustained action therapeutics that can be delivered to target tissue in the least invasive manner is an arduous endeavour that has ended in premature failure for several technologies in Phase II or III trials. Nevertheless, there have been promising preclinical studies, and more are on the horizon: port delivery systems for the treatment of exudative AMD have entered Phase III trials and a wide array of preclinical studies have demonstrated the potential for nanoparticles, such as liposomes, dendrimers and cell penetrating peptides to deliver therapeutics into the posterior segment via minimally invasive routes. In this review, we discuss the challenges posed by ocular barriers for drug penetration and present the recent advancements of the most pertinent drug delivery platforms with a focus on the treatment of exudative AMD and DME.

    Abstract Ocular anterior segment inflammation is a medical problem that is seen in cases of cataract surgery and non-infectious anterior uveitis. Inadequately treated anterior segment inflammation can lead to sight-threatening conditions such as corneal oedema, glaucoma and cystoid macular oedema. The mainstay of treatment for anterior segment inflammation is topical steroid eye-drops. However, several drawbacks limit the critical value of this treatment, including low bioavailability, poor patient compliance, relatively difficult administration manner and risk of blurring of vision and ocular irritation. A drug delivery system (DDS) that can provide increased bioavailability and sustained delivery while being specifically targeted towards inflamed ocular tissue can potentially replace daily eye-drops as the gold standard for management of anterior segment inflammation. The various DDS for anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of anterior segment inflammation are listed and summarised in this review, with a focus on commercially available products and those in clinical trials. Dextenza, INVELTYS, Dexycu and Bromsite are examples of DDS that have enjoyed success in clinical trials leading to FDA approval. Nanoparticles and ocular iontophoresis form the next wave of DDS that have the potential to replace topical steroids eye-drops as the treatment of choice for anterior segment inflammation. With the current relentless pace of ophthalmic drug delivery research, the pursuit of a new standard of treatment that eliminates the problems of low bioavailability and patient compliance may soon be realised.

    Abstract Liposomes as a drug delivery system may overcome the problems associated with non-compliance to eyedrops and inadequate control of inflammation after cataract surgery. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of a single subconjunctival injection of liposomal prednisolone phosphate (LPP) for the treatment of post-cataract surgery inflammation. This is a phase I/II, open-label non-comparative interventional trial of patients undergoing cataract surgery. All patients received a single injection of subconjunctival LPP intraoperatively. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of eyes with an anterior chamber cell count of 0 at postoperative month 1. Ocular and non-ocular adverse events, including elevated intraocular pressure, rebound iritis and pseudophakic macular edema were monitored. Five patients were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 66.6 ± 6.2 and 4 (80%) were male. The proportion of patients with AC cell grading of 0 was 0%, 80%, 80%, and 100% at day 1, week 1, month 1, and month 2 after cataract surgery, respectively. Mean laser flare photometry readings were significantly elevated at week 1 after cataract surgery (48.8 ± 18.9, p = 0.03) compared with baseline, decreasing to 25.8 ± 9.2 (p = 0.04) at month 1 and returned to baseline by month 2 (10.9 ± 5.1, p = 1.0). No ocular or non-ocular adverse events were observed. Liposomal prednisolone phosphate, administered as a single subconjunctival injection intraoperatively, can be a safe and effective treatment for post-cataract surgery inflammation. The delivery of steroids with a liposomal drug delivery system could potentially replace eyedrops as anti-inflammatory therapy following cataract surgery.

    Abstract Advances in imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) technology, including the development of swept source OCT/OCTA, widefield or ultra-widefield systems, have greatly improved the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of myopia and myopia-related complications. Anterior segment OCT is useful for imaging the anterior segment of myopes, providing the basis for implantable collamer lens optimization, or detecting intraocular lens decentration in high myopic patients. OCT has enhanced imaging of vitreous properties, and measurement of choroidal thickness in myopic eyes. Widefield OCT systems have greatly improved the visualization of peripheral retinal lesions and have enabled the evaluation of wide staphyloma and ocular curvature. Based on OCT imaging, a new classification system and guidelines for the management of myopic traction maculopathy have been proposed; different dome-shaped macula morphologies have been described; and myopia-related abnormalities in the optic nerve and peripapillary region have been demonstrated. OCTA can quantitatively evaluate the retinal microvasculature and choriocapillaris, which is useful for the early detection of myopic choroidal neovascularization and the evaluation of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy in these patients. In addition, the application of artificial intelligence in OCT/OCTA imaging in myopia has achieved promising results.
