Purpose of review: While effective for treating endothelial dysfunction, keratoplasty has shortcomings including limited access to donor tissue for much of the world. Thus, alternative strategies are under development. This review explores the main advancements achieved in this field during 2022-2023.
Recent findings: Recent publications further support the validity of intracameral cultivated allogeneic endothelial cell injection and Descemet stripping only, while emphasizing the benefits of adjunctive Rho-associated kinase inhibitor (ROCKi) therapy. New donor-independent artificial implants, such as EndoArt, show favorable results. Multiple pharmacologic agents, especially ROCKi, show promise as monotherapies, yet none are currently approved for human treatment. Multiple regenerative and genetic therapies are being investigated but all are still in preclinical stages.
Summary: A plethora of innovative alternatives to keratoplasty for endothelial disease is in development. Among these, surgical methods are still the mainstay of treatment and closest to clinical application, though further studies to establish their benefits over keratoplasty are needed. Albeit promising, pharmacologic, regenerative, and genetic approaches require validation and are farther from clinical application.

PURPOSE OF REVIEWMyopia is one of the major causes of visual impairment globally, with myopia and its complications thus placing a heavy healthcare and economic burden. With most cases of myopia developing during childhood, interventions to slow myopia progression are most effective when implemented early. To address this public health challenge, artificial intelligence has emerged as a potential solution in childhood myopia management.RECENT FINDINGSThe bulk of artificial intelligence research in childhood myopia was previously focused on traditional machine learning models for the identification of children at high risk for myopia progression. Recently, there has been a surge of literature with larger datasets, more computational power, and more complex computation models, leveraging artificial intelligence for novel approaches including large-scale myopia screening using big data, multimodal data, and advancing imaging technology for myopia progression, and deep learning models for precision treatment.SUMMARYArtificial intelligence holds significant promise in transforming the field of childhood myopia management. Novel artificial intelligence modalities including automated machine learning, large language models, and federated learning could play an important role in the future by delivering precision medicine, improving health literacy, and allowing the preservation of data privacy. However, along with these advancements in technology come practical challenges including regulation and clinical integration.

PURPOSE OF REVIEWThis review aims to summarize and discuss the ethical considerations regarding large language model (LLM) use in the field of ophthalmology.RECENT FINDINGSThis review of 47 articles on LLM applications in ophthalmology highlights their diverse potential uses, including education, research, clinical decision support, and surgical assistance (as an aid in operative notes). We also review ethical considerations such as the inability of LLMs to interpret data accurately, the risk of promoting controversial or harmful recommendations, and breaches of data privacy. These concerns imply the need for cautious integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare, emphasizing human oversight, transparency, and accountability to mitigate risks and uphold ethical standards.SUMMARYThe integration of LLMs in ophthalmology offers potential advantages such as aiding in clinical decision support and facilitating medical education through their ability to process queries and analyze ophthalmic imaging and clinical cases. However, their utilization also raises ethical concerns regarding data privacy, potential misinformation, and biases inherent in the datasets used. Awareness of these concerns should be addressed in order to optimize its utility in the healthcare setting. More importantly, promoting responsible and careful use by consumers should be practiced.

Purpose of review: To review the pathophysiology, recent biomarkers related to the ocular aspects of Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and to highlight notable evidence published in recent years.
Recent findings: Several studies reveal the relationship between tear cytokines and the pathological components in eyes of SJS/TEN patients. Specific clinical features and associated risk factors in the acute stage have shown significant correlations with chronic ocular sequelae. Recent treatment protocols, including early pulse systemic and topical steroids, as well as tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors, have demonstrated positive effects on ocular outcomes. In addition to conventional surgical treatment, a new surgical technique, simple oral mucosal epithelial transplantation (SOMET), has been introduced as a simple ocular surface reconstruction for patient with SJS.
Summary: Advancements in knowledge and management strategies have notably enhanced ocular outcomes for SJS/TEN eyes. A deeper understanding of the biomarker changes in these eyes could facilitate the development of future targeted treatment options.
