Robyn Guymer, AM, MBBS, PhD, FRANZCO, FAHMS, presented two studies involving the EZ line at this year’s International SPECTRALIS Symposium
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.
Ophthalmologists may be “at the forefront of a revolution in healthcare,” the nephrology professor said at this year’s International SPECTRALIS Symposium
Dr Brunstetter, a US Navy Aerospace Optometrist at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, delivered the lecture at this year's ISS alongside his colleague Warren Hoburg
Challenging choices force ophthalmologists to weigh long-term outcomes
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.
Alcon's Clareon Panoptix Pro IOL enhances cataract surgery with advanced light utilization and low visual disturbance.
Gauging patient perceptions in an ethnically diverse UK cohort
Metabolomics reflects the physiological state of a tissue and provides information about interactions between genetics, environment and lifestyle
An inflammation-based view of both ophthalmic and neurologic health
Jeremiah Tao, MD, FACS, used his Egyptian Ophthalmological Society keynote to explore complex and costly challenges in oculofacial surgery
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.
The Elios procedure shows promise in improving aqueous humour outflow and enhancing the effectiveness of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, with ongoing research exploring optimal treatment strategies.
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.
A 12-month follow-up indicated no dose limiting toxicity and no ocular or systemic adverse effects
A confirmed diagnosis of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy aids in several aspects of patient management
OCT methods are invaluable in the assessment of patients with the condition
Increasing understanding of the genetics behind Usher syndrome suggests that treatment may become possible in the very near future.
Paying attention to high-resolution OCT is more important than ever
Study found that YAG laser vitreolysis was less invasive than pars plana vitrectomy for patients with vitreous opacities.
Orbis advances cataract surgery training in low-resource areas with technology
Photobiomodulation has been demonstrated to improve quality of vision in several patients suffering from dry AMD.
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.
