Cornea

Repeatability of corneal astigmatism measurement was compared using six different devices.

Point source color LED topography has the potential to offer faster and more accurate corneal measurements than existing Placido disc or Scheimpflug imaging technology.

The concept of vision à la carte allows all ophthalmic surgeons to design vision for each patient individually, using all of today’s technologies and techniques.

The discovery of a new layer in the cornea has many surgical and clinical implications. This layer can support the endothelium in the procedure of endothelial keratoplasty, making the handling of Descemet’s membrane transplant safer and technically simpler, according to its discoverer Harminder S. Dua, MD, PhD.
