Key takeaways from a discussion on the management of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and inherited retinal disease and insight regarding what to look forward to as the field advances.
The healthcare sector has high greenhouse gas emissions, to which ophthalmology is a significant contributor. Reducing waste, reusing instruments and medication and increasing our use of telemedicine can all contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of our specialty.
Michael Singer, MD, speaks at the American Society of Retina Specialists meeting
Innovative new features build on the benefits of the iCare COMPASS Automated Perimeter
Promising innovations are not one-size-fits-all
A corneal refractive technique can combine monovision and extended depth of field to create a wide, seamless range of functional vision. This can provide independence from spectacles.
Dr Arun C. Gulani explains how his corneal surface technique offers a contrast to cutting procedures without risk, pain or drama.
An interdisciplinary team at Duke University has developed a proof-of-concept machine learning model capable of detecting symptomatic Alzheimer disease using multimodal retinal imaging data.
Recent reports of retinal atrophy have raised concerns on potential long-term safety.
Prompt, careful use of laser-based treatment minimises postoperative adverse effects.
Dr Jayanth Sridhar shares a day in the life of an academic retina specialist.
With at least 24 inherited retinal disease (IRD) clinical trials ongoing in the United States, and additional studies of stem cell therapy in several IRD indications, hope is on the horizon for many patients.
In the 30 years since optical coherence tomography was first described, it has become one of the most widely used technologies for imaging the human eye.
An interdisciplinary team at Duke University has developed a proof-of-concept machine learning model capable of detecting symptomatic Alzheimer disease using multimodal retinal imaging data.
Partial topography-guided surface ablation, combined with corneal collagen crosslinking when visual acuity is still quite good, optimises prognosis for the patient with keratoconus.
Novel concept: inner choroid/outer retina neurovascular unit
A new IOL combines the advantages of diffractive multifocal and extended-depth-of-focus lenses, providing a natural range of vision.
Plasma emission can act as a therapeutic for blepharitis, dry eye and other ocular disease
For clinicians, the evolution of treatment is as much a responsibility as an opportunity
Computer software platform provides home vision exercises to overcome asthenopia.
Lenticule extraction poses a provocative question–and a complicated answer
In the 30 years since optical coherence tomography was first described, it has become one of the most widely used technologies for imaging the human eye.
Ophthalmology, with its heavy reliance on imaging, is an innovator in the field of artificial intelligence in medicine.
Evidence for a connection between low vitamin D levels and glaucoma is increasing but the link remains speculative and no causal connection has been demonstrated.
The pandemic has impacted ophthalmic surgical training. Exercises have been developed to provide key skills that can be practised simply at home and require no special equipment.
