Posterior corneal elevation: Is there a role for premium IOLs?

It is widely accepted that patient selection is the key to success with premium IOLs. However, with care, premium IOLs can be implemented in challenging cases.

Spectacle independence for presbyopic patients: Achieving success and satisfaction with ZEISS PRESBYOND, even in a highly demanding cohort

Commercial airline pilots work mandates the ability to see clearly at multiple distances from near to far under a variety of conditions. This Case of the Month highlights the impact of prespyopia on visual functions for pilots and that ZEISS PRESBYOND can be a great option to consider improving the ability to perform the full range of their occupational vision-related tasks with high patient satisfaction after surgery.

Confocal scanner gives ophthalmologists valuable new tool

Most ocular structures become luminescent for a short time when exposed to a light source of appropriate wavelength; this phenomenon is known as autofluorescence (AF). AF is due to the presence of fluorescent substances called fluorophores.

Defining dysfunctional lens syndrome

Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose--a line written (1913) by Gertrude Stein and its variations in a famous quotation are often interpreted as meaning “things are what they are--makes a statement of the law of identity, and in the post-factum age is ever more meaningful. An ophthalmologist could as well write: “Cataract is a cataract is a cataract is a cataract,” ICD-10 Code H25.0 for the diagnosis “Cataracta senilis incipiens” in its earliest stage and notably with a surgical history of more than 2,500 years.

Adopting a multidiagnostic method for characterising the anterior segment

A multidiagnostic device is able to provide consistent measurements of refraction and ocular aberrations in healthy eyes. The consistency of refractive measurements is not dependent on the magnitude of the refractive error, with the same precision ability for moderate to high myopia and for hyperopia.

How to improve IOL power calculations in keratoconus

One source of error in IOL power calculation is the use of the classical keratometric approach for the characterisation of the corneal optics. This approach is based on the assumption of only one corneal surface and a fictitious index of refraction (keratometric index, nk) for obtaining an estimation of the corneal power (Pk).
