IOL edge design directly affects ability to see at night
April 15th 2003Salt Lake City-Dysphotopsias, the unwant-ed optical images seen at night, pose an annoying and sometimes debilitating effect for cataract patients receiving IOLs with a truncated edge. To minimize these effects, efforts to modify the IOL edge have paid off, according to Randall J. Olson, MD.

OHTS identifies thinner corneas as risk for visual changes
April 1st 2003Omaha, NE-The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) clearly demonstrat-ed that topical IOP-lowering medications can delay the onset of primary open-angle glaucoma. In addition, the OHTS study also revealed two very important secondary messages, which may be as important as the primary finding, according to M. Roy Wilson, MD.
