Low-dose intravitreal triamcinolone lowers incidence of steroid-induced glaucoma
Low-dose (2 mg) intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) may be just as effective as the traditional dose (4 mg) for treatment of diabetic macular edema. More importantly, the lower dose of 2 mg was associated with a lower rate of elevated IOP (16%) as compared with the standard dose of 4 mg (35%) in a study conducted here at the Retina Consultants of Delmarva.

RB, uveal melanoma research opens door for understanding other cancers
Research in retinoblastoma (RB) and uveal melanoma, two relatively rare ocular cancers, will contribute to all areas of oncology, not just ocular oncology. Discoveries concerning the mechanisms in those two cancers are shedding light on how other tumors function and may aid in the development of therapies and means of predicting metastasis, according to J. William Harbour, MD, who delivered the Cogan Lecture at the annual meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.
