Plasma emission for blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and dry eye disease.

The retrospective cohort study by a team of researchers in China included 58 cataract eyes of 54 patients with corneal astigmatism who underwent phacoemulsification and rotationally asymmetric multifocal intraocular lens implantation. Patients were treated with either an opposite clear corneal incision or a single clear corneal incision.

McDonnell stays focused on helping the next generation of ophthalmologists launch their careers in academics.

The campaign will encourage, educate and empower the public to include vision and eye health as a part of their healthcare by asking them to share how eye care services and exams improved their vision and their daily lives.
