Patients with higher exposure to nature and green spaces were significantly less likely to experience dry eye, investigators reported
DQS drops relieve persistent dry eye after LASIK
July 2nd 2014The addition of diquafosol tetrasodium (DQS) to a regimen of artificial tears and sodium hyaluronate helped relieve the symptoms of persistent dry eye in patients who had undergone laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), according to recent research.
A new treatment modality for corneal oedema
July 1st 2014Currently, there is no treatment to promote the healing of endothelial cells, however, the extent of the corneal oedema can be controlled. In this article, Prof. Feinbaum discusses a new treatment option aimed at alleviating complications of visual loss and pain secondary to corneal oedema.
Long-term follow-up of PCO in three different IOLs
April 1st 2014As the population is living for longer after cataract surgery, Dr Kugelberg and colleagues believed that a longer follow-up period was required to determine PCO rates in three different IOLs. Here, she discusses the highlights of this study.
A 3-step treatment for keratoconus
April 1st 2014The arrival of advanced therapeutic modalities for keratoconus has provided ophthalmologists with a growing menu of treatment options. The author discusses the challenge of determining which treatment is the best to use and highlights his experience with a triple procedure and a four-stage approach.
Predicting the position of pIOLs
March 1st 2014Predicting the position of an iris-fixated pIOL is important to ensure intraocular structure health is maintained. In this article, Dr Soltani Moghadam describes his recent study that found AS-OCT imaging technique to be particularly useful as a preoperative simulation technique.
Measuring ocular biomechanics with a new Scheimpflug-based device
March 1st 2014The CorVis ST, a new Scheimpflug-based device, has the potential to analyze ocular biomechanical properties for further research. Here, Dr Nemeth discusses his recent study analyzing the repeatability of data obtained with this new device.
AS-OCT, IVCM find and track epithelial downgrowth after penetrating keratoplasty
November 1st 2013Non-invasive imaging modalities, such as high-resolution anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and in-vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) imaging, may be more sensitive to identifying and monitoring epithelial downgrowth, compared with routine light biomicroscopy in patients undergoing penetrating keratoplasty, and will perhaps replace more invasive diagnostics in these patients.
