Leading Research Highlights at ARVO 2025:

• Glaucoma Innovations:
  Dr. Gus De Moraes, world-renowned glaucoma specialist and Ora’s Chief Medical Officer, will present research leveraging ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) to evaluate cilioscleral interposition device (CID) implantation success and its impact on intraocular pressure (IOP). The study aims to identify predictive factors for surgical outcomes in both open- and narrow-angle glaucoma.
  
  “With glaucoma expected to affect over 110 million people by 2040, it's vital to innovate beyond treatment—into prediction and prevention,” said Dr. De Moraes.

• Dry Eye Disease (DED) Breakthrough:
  Dr. Ethan Bensinger, VP at Andover Eye Institute (AEI), will unveil a novel technician-free interface for measuring visual acuity deficits in DED. The Interblink Visual Acuity Decay (IVAD) system uses pupil-core tracking to detect blinks and eye movement, allowing patients to input responses directly to streamline testing and minimizing errors.
  
  "The IVAD system takes dry eye patients' critical but subjective complaints of blurry vision and provides an unbiased metric of visual function," added Dr. Bensinger.
