Too busy to read The Lens? Listen to our weekly summary here! In this week’s episode we discuss:

• Implantable devices such as EYEMATE-SC show promise in safely and accurately measuring intraocular pressure without the assistance of a clinician. 

• There is promise in using machine learning algorithms in glaucoma risk assessment as an objective tool for measuring retinal nerve fiber layer thickness from optic disc images.

• Hormonal contraceptive use confers a higher relative risk of retinal vein occlusion, though the relative risk of retinal vein occlusions is low.
