PHOENIX — Prescribing Qlosi eye drops for presbyopia was not associated with a reduction in optical purchases or other practice performance metrics, according to a study presented here.
“The questions that kept coming up among our physicians were straightforward: Is this going to hurt us? Are patients going to stop buying glasses? Are we going to see fewer billable encounters?” Harmin J. Chima, OD, FAAO, vice president, professional services at West Point Optical Group, told Healio. “Those are legitimate questions, and nobody had real answers yet.”

The FDA approved an update to the labeled strength of Twirla, a weekly contraceptive patch, its manufacturer announced.
The change “is to provide a more accurate representation of the amount of levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol delivered (or transferred) to the user” of Twirla (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol), Exeltis USA said in a press release.
The updated label will begin to appear on Twirla in September or October.
The manufactuer noted that the changed label strength is based on results from Study ATI-CL28 and is “consistent with the recommendations of the FDA draft guidance” for

PHOENIX — Retaine Ultra PF, a preservative-free lubricating eye drop, is now available.
The drop is an “economical option” intended for “rewetting and refreshing the eyes,” Jacob Shorrosh, marketing associate at OcuSoft, told Healio at Optometry’s Meeting.
“This is going to be for an aqueous-deficient patient,” Shorrosh said. “It’s not going to target any lipid deficiency, which [meibomian gland dysfunction] patients have. It’s more for patients who need that aqueous refreshment to the tear film.”
The drop comes in a 10 mL multidose bottle, and the active ingredients are polyethylene glycol 400

LAS VEGAS — Ocula360, an AI-based tool for diabetic retinopathy lesion detection, showed efficacy in detecting DR across multiple levels of severity, according to a speaker at Clinical Trials at the Summit.
While several automated DR assessment tools have been FDA approved, there are limitations in screening for disease severity, SriniVas R. Sadda, MD, of Doheny Eye Institute, said.
“In the ideal world, we would actually automatically detect all of the lesions on these ultra-widefield images, and that could potentially facilitate a quantitative and continuous scoring system for diabetic

Mary and Bob are both health care providers who have a fairly long commute to work and a fast-paced schedule.
Once they’re back home, they need to prepare a healthful meal, take care of their family, wind down from the day with a hobby and, hopefully, get to sleep at a reasonable time to feel refreshed the next day.
This weekly schedule is familiar to many and leaves very little time for adequate physical activity before or after work. Exercise snacks, or short bouts of activity spaced throughout the workday, may be solutions for busy health care providers.

PARK CITY, Utah — Women who are perimenopausal or menopausal have no contraindications to participating in activities at high altitudes, according to a presenter at the International Extreme Sports Medicine Congress.
“There is no reason why older women should not go to the mountains, but they need to train,” Linda E. Keyes, MD, FACEP, FAWM, adjunct professor of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado, told Healio. “If you continue training, you can continue doing mountain activities.”
In her presentation, Keyes said that previously published research has

Personal care product packaging and cosmetics made with plastics and other polymers can negatively impact human health and the environment, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Plastic production involves more than 16,000 chemicals that help give it its flexibility, ultraviolet stability and durability, most of which are unregulated, Sarah Dunlop, PhD, director of plastics and human health at the Minderoo Foundation, and colleagues wrote in the study background. Although many consider plastics inert, the additives that give them their convenient
