Cataract & Refractive

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.

Dr Jonathon Talamo disucsses his experiences using image-guided femtosecond lasers for cataract surgery

An introduction to the controversial technique of using femtosecond lasers for cataract surgery

An investigational femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery system for capsulotomy creation was evaluated in a randomized, fellow eye control study.

Refractive specialists weigh in with views on surface ablation versus the flap-based procedure.

Dr Mark Wevill discusses the changes occuring in the field of femtosecond lasers and the advantages this technology has enabled.

A study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Toric ICL implanted to treat ametropia in stable keratoconic eyes after CXL

Improvements in the technology behind emulsification have brought the straight phaco tip back to the fore and surgeons are finding there are multiple benefits.

Professor Parel discusses assessment of accomodation preservation after cataract surgery

Dr Zaluski examines the visual performance and ascertains the level of patient satisfaction with the multifocalDiffractiva Diff-s IOL

The potential complications associated with implantation of phakic IOLs may give cataract surgeons a few challenges, but problems can often be averted with proper sizing and vaulting.

Looking into post-injection endophthalmitus, which has become one of the most frequent causes of endophthalmitus.
