Cataract & Refractive

Anglia Ruskin University is working in collaboration with the University of the West Indies to conduct the National Eye Survey of Trinidad and Tobago (NESTT).

More attention should be paid to dealing with sight loss, claims a new report created by ocular charity Visionary.

Implantation of the Artiflex toric iris-fixated phakic IOL is effective, predictable and safe for the correction of myopic astigmatism.

Funding novel optics and imaging software encourages the evolution of multi-modality imaging and provides more business opportunities.

The Healon Endocoat OVD, developed by Abbott, has been approved for use as a surgical aid in cataract surgery.

A remotely operated computer-based logarithmic (logMAR) visual acuity chart is just as reliable as measurements taken by an optometrist.

Administering cezafolin injections after cataract surgery reduces the rate of postoperative endophthalmitis.

Peripheral overall blur is largely influenced by a combination of defocus and oblique astigmatism.

A novel sutureless scleral IOL fixation technique is successful in patients with insufficient posterior capsule support.

Aberration-correcting IOLs are more sensitive to decentration and tilt

Patching during the first six months after surgery is linked to improved grating visual acuity in infants with unilateral cataract.

The Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) is a reliable predictor of final visual outcome in children with traumatic cataract

Femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK significantly improves refractive error-related quality of life (QOL) in myopic patients

Using the intrastromal femtosecond laser procedure to correct presbyopia has been shown to be successful.

History of congenital cataract does not affect quality of life or educational achievements in adolescents and young adults.

For compromised, and potentially compromised eyes.

FDA results and personal experience demonstrate very high satisfaction with lens

First answers from the Happy Patient Project

The VacuFix technique has been introduced to fix the Artisan and Artiflex IOLs in a fast, precise and reproducible way.

Comparative study shows excellent intermediate vision results, high levels of spectacle independence and minimal photic phenoma at night.

Continuing development within the industry and more evidence demonstrating the advantages of MICS is further increasing interest into the surgical technique.

Combining 1.8 mm C-MICS and phacoemulsification system enables safe and effective cataract surgery in eyes with intraoperative floppy iris syndrome.

Dr Paul-Rolf Preussner discusses how additional optical measurements are required to improve the accuracy limits in IOL calculation

Increasing levels of expectations of refractive results is challenging IOL power calculations, reveals Dr Oliver Findl

Following a premium IOL implantation it is now possible to maintain the target refractive error of 0.5 D but errors can still arise in the calculation of the desired IOL power. Modernizing formulae may help to reduce prediction error in IOL power calculations.
