Review of the first day of ESCRS 2013
The CENTURION Vision System sets a new standard of performance in cataract surgery by combining multiple, intelligent technologies and key features to provide surgeons control and improved efficiency during the cataract phaco procedure.
A partial coherence interferometry (PCI) device has been found to be a valid tool for calculating toric intraocular lenses (IOL) in a recently published study.
In a recently published systematic review and meta-analysis the associations of myopia with prevalent nuclear and posterior subcapsular (PSC) cataract have been confirmed.
A novel surgical technique using two lasers has been introduced offering several potential advantages for cataract surgery, according to recently published data in the journal Clinical Ophthalmology.
Recurrent retinal detachments in children can develop months to years after the initial corrective surgery, making careful monitoring of patients imperative to identifying late re-detachments.
In this article, the authors discuss preventative efforts related to retinal diseases that are made by ophthalmologists to avoid infections and how mounting data seems to be pointing at the discontinuation of peri-injection topical antibiotic drops.
In this article, Dr Cummings describes his patients involved in the RT-guided LASIK trial, revealing the safety, efficacy and predictability of the procedure to treat moderate to high myopia.
This article provides a brief overview of the outcomes of a webex meeting hosted by Novartis at SOE 2013 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
In this article, Dr Vryghem weighs up the pros and cons of visual revalidation techniques and compares the currently available techniques in a clinical setting.
Cataract surgery not only can result in a reduction of IOP, it also provides benefits for future management of glaucoma, according to this article.
PPV has been a major advancement in the treatment of retinal diseases, however, little is known about its effect on oxygen metabolism in retinal vessels. In this article, Dr Sin reveals the results of his pilot study examining the effect of PPV on the oxygen saturations in retinal vessels.
Dr Artal looks at the available options for treating presbyopia and highlights study results involving a new alternative, the KAMRA inlay, which he believes is a promising option for presbyopes without compromising stereopsis.
During the advent of surgical approaches for retinal detachment repair, one of the most challenging cases a retinal surgeon may come across was a giant retinal tear. This article summarizes the history of GRT management and discusses current trends in surgical management.
Dr Gulani introduces the concept of Corneoplastique, a new super-speciality of LASIK, which combines all levels of anterior segment surgery, striving to attain the goal of unaided emmetropia or best vision potential in every eye.
Dr Nichamin discusses surgical options including MIGS, which he believes is offering attractive prospects for both patients and surgeons.
The article looks at a minimally invasive glaucoma laser procedure with a long-lasting IOP lowering efficiency.
Because patient expectations of post-surgery outcomes have, inevitably, increased, there is a requirement now for surgeons to offer optimized techniques to ensure patient satisfaction.
Pars plana vitrectomy, endolaser photocoagulation and C3F8 gas tamponade without internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling have been found to be potentially favourable in the treatment of optic disc pit (ODP) maculopathy, according to data published in Eye.
According to recently published data, an 810 nm subthreshold diode micropulse (SDM) laser is effective in the treatment of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
The ?real-world? clinical efficacy of ranibizumab has been demonstrated in a recently published study in the journal Clinical Ophthalmology.
A new aspheric toric intraocular lens (IOL) has been found to be safe, effective and stable in the correction of pre-existing regular corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery, states a recently published paper.
According to recent data small hyperreflective areas found intraretinally, subretinally and underneath the epiretinal membranes with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) could be small bubbles of emulsified silicone.
Implantation of the Ex-PRESS miniature device has been found to have no lasting effects on anterior segment parameters, according to recently published data in the Journal of Glaucoma.
