Every diopter counts when it comes to myopia management in children.
Advertorial: Every diopter counts when it comes to myopia management in children.
Myopia in children is not just a refractive error; the risk of ocular complications increases exponentially with increasing levels of myopia.1 As such, it is critical to provide children who are at risk of developing high myopia with comprehensive treatment as early as possible.
By 2050, it is estimated that 10% of people worldwide will suffer from high myopia (spherical refractive error of ≤-6.00 diopters).
If insufficiently managed, high myopia is associated with an increased risk of complications, such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment or myopic macular degeneration. Therefore, managing high myopia as early as possible may help preserve children’s vision in the long term.

The ZEISS IOL Power Calculation Service. Providing guidance in complex cases
January 15th 2025Advances in biometric technology and IOL calculation formulas have enabled refractive accuracy of cataract and clear lens exchange (CLE) surgery, but IOL power selection remains challenging in some cases. I have found that the ZEISS IOL Power Calculation Service (IPCS) is a valuable asset to help me in these uncertain situations.
My first experiences with AT ELANA 841P and ARTEVO 850
November 5th 2024This article by Liem Trinh, MD highlights his experiences with the AT ELANA® 841P hydrophobic trifocal IOL and the ARTEVO® 750 and ARTEVO® 850 microscopes from ZEISS. Dr. Trinh discusses the benefits of the trifocal design of the AT ELANA 841P IOL and its ability to provide spectacle independence at all distances after cataract surgery. He also shares his positive experiences with the ARTEVO 850 microscope, which offers improved surgical visualization with RGB LED illumination and 3D viewing on a high dynamic range monitor. Additionally, Dr. Trinh discusses the potential benefits of integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the redesigned CALLISTO eye user interface.
