To heighten precision, use total keratometry, not imaginary numbers
Studies show that corneal crosslinking could be a beneficial treatment in paediatric patients with keratoconus.
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.
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.
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.
RGC replacement represents a more formidable challenge.
The most promising recent interventional trials for investigational therapies in dry age-related macular degeneration are highlighted by the authors.
Ocuphire Pharma and Viatris developed the drug together for the reversal of pharmacologically-induced mydriasis (RM) produced by adrenergic agonist or parasympatholytic agents
A multicentre study demonstrates comparable results to FS-LASIK
Investigators have indicated that combination therapies of outdoor activity, bifocals and low-dose atropine are being studied.
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.
Regenerative technologies are providing an influx of options.
Zonular crises occur due to many different aetiologies, but ophthalmologists now have multiple tools available to solve complex problems and achieve excellent results in complex cases.
Results from Phase 3 trials of bispecific antibody faricimab demonstrate that it is more durable than currently available agents, and it has a good safety profile.
Non-diffractive lenses offer alternative in challenging post-corneal refractive surgery cases.
Patient centricity an important driver in topical development.
Many low- and middle-income countries lack resources for managing eye health. A pilot project aims to reduce the number of people going blind from untreated glaucoma by raising awareness and increasing engagement with screening and follow-up.
To maintain treatment quality and patient and staff safety in the SARS-CoV-2 era, it is important to minimise clinic visits and maximise use of imaging modalities. In addition, extending treatment intervals with longer-acting agents is key to maximising safety and patients’ vision outcomes.
Study results, including data from approximately 42,000 eyes, found diabetic retinopathy severity is a risk factor for diabetic eye disease progression. Other findings support the idea that genetic factors may influence the development of proliferative diabetic retinopathy versus diabetic macular oedema.
The child's changes in vision began at school and worsened over the next day to the point where he could see only outlines and shapes of objects.
A study demonstrates corneal endothelial cell density measured postoperatively does not differ whether the capsulotomy was performed using continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) or precision pulse capsulotomy (PPC)
The versatile technique comes with short learning curve and combines well with MIGS.
An inflammation-based view of both ophthalmic and neurologic health
At this year’s EURETINA meeting, retina specialists highlighted important developments in diabetic macular oedema and diabetic retinopathy research
Reviewing visual and anatomic outcomes in 2 clinical trials
A recent prospective study analysed the relationship between corneo-scleral geometry and the axial length of the eye to develop preliminary prediction models of the axial length of the eye based on clinical data.
Dr Grazia Pertile discusses the highlights of her presentations on the management of retinal folds after retinal detachment and the role of the anterior vitreous as a cause of recurrent retinal detachment.
OCT methods are invaluable in the assessment of patients with the condition
