Predicting 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.
Corneal anterior segment imaging has emerged as a screening tool for refractive surgery, cataract and glaucoma. In this article, the authors discuss their recent study that identified a set of normative data to correct for sources of bias in pre-surgery screening.
In this article Dr Kanellopoulos shares his opinions on AS-OCT in his practice, highlighting the clinical and diagnostic advantages he has experienced using the imaging device.
In this article, Dr Cervino discusses how his recent study examining the quality of anterior segment images obtained with posterior segment OCT devices is good enough to obtain repeatable measures of anterior segment parameters manually using external analysis software.
The 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.
Numerous clinical trials are under way that may help to define the role of immunotherapy in ocular allergy.
Here, Dr Cadarso discusses how he targets vertical coma specifically through adaptation of the Keraring ICRS implantation technique.
There are many causes of limbal stem cell deficiency and it is important to know how to recognize them and how to intervene.
Non-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.
The Laser Anterior Ciliary Excision procedure uses laser scleral micro-excisions to alter ocular rigidity to rejuvenate aging sclera.
In this article, Dr Vryghem weighs up the pros and cons of visual revalidation techniques and compares the currently available techniques in a clinical setting.
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.
Eyes with a history of herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) have significantly greater higher order aberrations (HOAs) than eyes with no past history of the disease, according to a paper.
A novel technique for performing Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) consistently yields thin grafts, according to recently published research in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
Straylight values improve over time and can be linked to the progression of corneal healing, according to a paper.
The Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) questionnaire is a repeatable and valid method to measure dry eye symptoms, reveals a recent paper in the journal Cornea.
Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) could successfully treat certain stages of keratoconus, according to a recent published paper.
NovaTears has received the CE Mark of approval for the treatment of dry eyes, according to the latest press release from Novaliq.
The Ahmed glaucoma device (AGD) effectively controls intraocular pressure (IOP) with high-risk penetrating keratoplasty, reveal the findings from a study in the journal Cornea.
Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) may stop corneal ulceration and promote epithelialization, according to an investigation.
Eyes with a history of recurrent herpes keratitis (HSK) and no apparent decrease in visual acuity (VA) have greater optical aberrations compared with control eyes, according to a recent paper.
According to recent data, dry eye has been found to be common in patients with early Graves Ophthalmology (GO).
Flat, steep corneas with keratometry values of less than 35 D do not have a predictive effect on the risk of visual acuity loss after myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), claims a paper in the Journal of Refractive Surgery.
