At this year's American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting in San Francisco, California, Rob Thornhill, CEO of Centricity Vision, spoke with the Ophthalmology Times team about developments in the company's ZEPTOLink IOL positioning systems.
Innovative new features build on the benefits of the iCare COMPASS Automated Perimeter
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.
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.
Virtual reality dichoptic and perceptual learning training seem to be a useful therapeutic option for achieving a successful visual rehabilitation in amblyopic patients.
In “modified monovision”, which can be achieved with a new IOL, one eye predominantly manages distance vision and the other near vision—as with standard monovision—but the extended depth of field provides a degree of intermediate vision that is independent of spectacles.
Poorly focused YAG shots lead irrevocably to a permanent defect in the IOL material and thus to possible effects on the quality of vision with straylight or glare. In a recent study, the differing amounts of damage that Nd:YAG causes in a range of hydrophilic and hydrophobic acrylic lens materials was assessed.

Gene therapies are being investigated for multiple inherited retinal diseases and the progress in this field has implications for patient care.
Patients need to pay attention to their eye health over the long term.
