This review concluded that near-infrared and red light photobiomodulation shows potential for certain ocular conditions like age-related macular degeneration and dry eye disease, but clinical evidence is still mixed and insufficient to establish it as a standard therapy.

This review discusses indole-based bifunctional aldose reductase inhibitors and antioxidants for diabetic complications and chronic inflammation-related pathologies, but reports no new clinical results.

This source highlights that intraocular foreign bodies are urgent ophthalmologic emergencies requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent blindness and eye loss, with most cases involving the posterior segment of the eye.

This study highlights that Demodex mites, commonly found on human skin, can cause significant eye and skin issues such as blepharitis, rosacea, and dermatitis when present in abnormally high densities, underscoring the need for targeted management strategies.

This study found that patients with severe alopecia areata demonstrated reduced corneal sensitivity and increased corneal staining, and exhibited altered topographic and biomechanical eye parameters compared to controls, suggesting a possible increased risk of keratoconus and the necessity for regular ophthalmological exams.

In this veterinary study, uveodermatological syndrome in dogs was reported to cause skin depigmentation, alopecia, and eye issues such as granulomatous panuveitis, which leads to complications like cataracts and glaucoma; while immunosuppressive therapy often helps, recurrence and treatment side effects challenging therapeutic management.
