Recent reports of retinal atrophy have raised concerns on potential long-term safety.
Patients appreciate the convenience and aesthetic improvements of light-based dry eye treatment, and it can also be applied elsewhere on the face.
Children with certain neurodevelopmental disorders show altered ocular movements and a more reduced amplitude of accommodation, however, vision problems are not always present in these children and so cannot be considered an aetiological factor.
A different approach better serves patients with diabetic retinopathy
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.
Research indicates suppressive valacyclovir could help patients avoid keratitis and iritis flare-ups
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.

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
