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.
To heighten precision, use total keratometry, not imaginary numbers
Studies show that corneal crosslinking could be a beneficial treatment in paediatric patients with keratoconus.
Assessing two devices in a real-world setting
A new amblyopia screening system that can be used on Android devices has performed better than some of the ‘gold standard’ stereotests in recent Hungarian studies.
Clinicians must consider redefining the metrics and intention behind functional outcomes, according to experts from the European Association for the Study of Diabetic Eye Complications

Arshad M. Khanani, MD, MA, FASRS, highlights the fluid resolution with faricimab and the need for loading doses, especially in high-needs switch patients with nAMD or DME.
It is important to select good candidates for presbyopia-correcting IOL implantation and frankly discuss postoperative adjustment issues for a successful outcome.
