Improved optical quality with SMILEIn SMILE the anterior-most stromal lamellae remain intact postoperatively. Here, the author discusses the biomechanical advantages of preserving the stronger anterior stroma and the resulting effects on spherical aberration control and optical quality.

Validating long-term toric IOL performanceFive years of experience with the Rayner T-flex aspheric IOL show it to be a safe, highly effective long-term method of correcting the widest possible range of sphere and cylinder errors in pseudophakic patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism.

2023: What ophthalmologists in Europe anticipate for the year aheadMembers of the Ophthalmology Times Europe® Editorial Advisory Board were asked to predict developments in their ophthalmic specialties and interests for 2023. A focus is our ageing population, while efficiency and productivity are also on their minds. The board members agree that one of the major challenges in the year to come will be the large number of patients awaiting diagnosis and treatment, which is only going to increase with the rising average life expectancy worldwide.

Redefining cyclophotocoagulation with modified laser delivery [ABSTRACT]While traditional transscleral cyclophotocoagulation is effective at lowering IOP in patients with glaucoma, it has a high rate of side effects. The new MicroPulse system is effective and affordable with an excellent safety profile.

Is it possible to predict the behaviour of a multifocal IOL prior to implantation?A new method for predicting the behaviour of multifocal IOLs has been developed. This methodology could be very useful for ophthalmologists, enabling them to know the potential effect of the implantation of an IOL in any type of eye prior to implantation.

The importance of pattern electroretinography in detecting early-stage glaucomaAs an objective measure of the function of retinal ganglion cells, pattern electroretinography (PERG) testing reveals subclinical optic nerve changes that may be critical for deciding when to start therapy to avoid vision loss from glaucoma progression.

Optic disc stereo-photography: Does it have a role in the OCT era?Stereoscopic photographs are a useful tool in the detection of glaucoma, however, the difficulty in obtaining them has seen them underused in favour of optical coherence tomography (OCT). A new device is attempting to redress this balance, enabling stereo-photography to be used alongside OCT for optimal practice.
