In a long-term cohort study, researchers found that specific retinal changes—thinner photoreceptor layers and thicker retinal pigment epithelium—were linked to a higher risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, suggesting potential noninvasive biomarkers for early detection.
A randomized trial found that a gamified binocular therapy was as effective as patching in treating amblyopia in children, with faster early improvement and better adherence.
