A Lowdown on the Link between Conjunctivitis and COVID-19
In the light of the current COVID-19 situation, diagnosing the pink eye or conjunctivitis has now an added dimension of caution. The alert came about after anecdotal sources and researchers raised the alarm about “the possibility of eye infection and the ocular route as a potential infection source.
This and several other reports prompted the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) to issue guidelines, which included warnings that “the virus can cause conjunctivitis and possibly be transmitted by aerosol contact with conjunctiva.”
The circumstances of its infection mode have put ophthalmologists around the globe on the frontline, and it has been especially poignant ever since the passing of Dr. Li Wenliang, the ophthalmologist from Wuhan who warned of the virus in December 2019. It was believed that he contracted the novel coronavirus from a glaucoma patient.

A New Era in the Treatment of Hereditary Optic Neuropathies
Should these treatments prove to be effective and safe, they will radically transform the treatment approach to patients at risk of visual loss. Gene therapies are emerging for several inherited retinal diseases as well. These recent scientific and clinical developments may represent the beginning of an era of approved gene therapies for a wider range of neurologic diseases.
Retinal degenerative diseases are a leading cause of irreversible blindness. The central pathology in many of these conditions is retinal death, induced by a mix of genetic and environmental factors. Inherited conditions are increasingly recognized as an important component of the neuro-ophthalmic differential diagnosis of sub-acute vision loss. For these blinding conditions, innovations in gene and cell therapy approaches offer therapeutic intervention at various disease stages.
A recent review by Dr. Tatiana Bakaeva et.al from Harvard Medical School, Boston sheds light on hereditary optic neuropathies.

Ophthalmologists Discuss Important Topics in Vitreoretina
At PIE Magazine, we’re sometimes known as the “shock jocks” of ophthalmic publishing — thanks to our funky style (in both fashion and medical reporting). So, we decided to try on those radio show shoes, with a segment of our own: the PIE Radio Show.
We asked renowned surgeons from around the world to chime in on some of the most important topics in ophthalmology today — from COVID-19’s impacts, to business decisions and innovations in medical and surgical retina. So, sit back, relax and don’t touch that dial . . . the PIE Radio Show is ON AIR!

Elderly Face Risk of Irreversible Blindness
With ageing comes many issues that we may be unprepared to face, but loss of sight can be devastating.
Malaysia is expected to become an ageing nation by 2035, with 15 per cent of its population aged 65 and above.
While ideally, the elderly should remain active well into their golden years, it’s estimated that 46,000 Malaysians above the age of 45 are at risk of irreversible blindness due to wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). While vision changes will naturally occur as a person ages, actual vision loss is not a normal part of ageing.
Wet AMD, a progressive and chronic type of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), occurs when abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina start to grow under the macular. Symptoms usually appear suddenly, causing distortions and blurred vision, and worsen rapidly, leading to irreversible damage within a short period of time.While wet AMD only accounts for about 10 per cent of all AMD cases, it is responsible for 90 per cent of severe vision loss associated with the disease.
湿性黄斑部病变 渐失明
在看东西的时候，
常常感觉中心点有异物遮挡、
物品的线条和形状扭曲，
或是开车时比以往更吃力？
这些不是单纯的老花眼或视力退化，
有可能是湿性老年黄斑部病变，
有很大的机率会造成失明。
眼睛是灵魂之窗，
趁早医治才能避免不可逆转的局面！
