Extended depth-of-field IOLs: Clarification of current nomenclatureClinicians and surgeons should be aware of the misleading use of the EDOF concept. The authors herein propose an alternative terminology and that lenses which have combined optical designs are referred to as ‘hybrid IOLs’.

A new route to reducing IOPTo date, the suprachoroidal space has not been a feasible route to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma. A new device promises to change that.
Latest:
Using pivotal study data to guide glaucoma patient management decisionsTwo randomised controlled trials, EMGT and UKGTS, have examined the factors affecting the risk of glaucoma progression. Global target IOPs are not the best option for all patients.

Non-linear aspheric corneal ablation can be used to treat presbyopiaPresbyopia can be treated in emmetropic, myopic and hyperopic patients with refractive errors between +5.75 and -9.00 D using corneal non-linear aspheric ablation profiles to increase the depth of field in both eyes, in combination with micro-monovision. Patient satisfaction with this approach is high.
Latest:
Myth or reality? Corneal refractive surgery to manage presbyopic patientsA 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.

The pathophysiology and pathomorphology of corneal ectasia: Part 4Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is improving all the time, although all protocols retain the basic requirements for oxygen, riboflavin and UV light. Recent developments mean that CXL at the slit lamp is feasible, which will improve access to the procedure.
