A real-world study of an enhanced monofocal IOL found most patients achieved 20/20 distance vision and functional intermediate vision without glasses, according to Jai Parekh, MD, MA, FAAO, at ESCRS 2026.

New ESCRS 2026 data show corneal measurements shift meaningfully across the day, with early-morning readings potentially biased by overnight eyelid closure.

Suzana Konjevoda, MD, presents data at ESCRS 2026 showing citicoline eye drops aid corneal nerve recovery post-cataract surgery.

ESCRS 2026 study shows multifocal IOLs tie at distance, but reading speed plunges in dim light; focus curves predict laser touch-ups.

Mingo-Botín, MD, PhD, discusses ESCRS 2026 data on an EDOF IOL in post-LASIK eyes vs non-LASIK controls.

Real-world data show tear film and Schirmer improvements with two preservative-free dry eye drops at ESCRS 2026.

The 44th Congress of the ESCRS kicked off at ExCeL London with iNovation Day and the Opening Ceremony, setting the stage for a five-day programme.

Suzana Konjevoda, MD, previews ESCRS 2026, highlighting new IOLs, presbyopia correction, AI in everyday practice, and advances in post-cataract surgery recovery and comfort.

Handheld IC1000 pairs rebound tonometry with camera-guided alignment

Piotr A. Woźniak, MD, PhD, previews the ESCRS' growing focus on AI-assisted digital surgery and an expanding dry eye programme.

Ahead of the 44th ESCRS Congress in London, a look at the presbyopia-correcting IOL, glaucoma and dry eye disease research on this year's scientific programme.

Jordi Mones, MD, PhD, discusses what is believed to be the first direct-to-phase 2 trial testing an optogenetic gene therapy to restore vision lost to GA.

Reem Amine, MD, discusses why clinic distance predicts loss to follow-up in geographic atrophy and shares one retention check practices can implement now.

At WIO 2026, Durga Borkar, MD, discussed DAVIO2 trial results for EYP-1901 in wet AMD.

25.5% of patients labeled with MacTel2 didn't meet diagnostic criteria, most often due to cystic OCT changes and telangiectatic vessels mistaken for the disease.

Bakall on 3-year REMAIN data for MCO-010 in retinitis pigmentosa: durable 3-line acuity gains, why genotype did not matter, and which patients responded best.

Stuart Therapeutics presented preclinical data at OIS Retina 2026 on a non-gene-specific collagen mimetic peptide that preserved retinal thickness and visual function in 2 mouse models of inherited retinal disease.

Seven-year Vestrum data: anti-VEGF gaps hit 40% of patients with wet AMD by year 1, worsening vision.

Jordana Fein, MD, MS, presented 64-week QUASAR data showing aflibercept 8 mg sustained visual acuity gains with up to 3 fewer injections than aflibercept 2 mg in macular edema following RVO.

A single vorolanib intravitreal insert extended time to supplemental anti-VEGF injection vs aflibercept in previously treated DME at 24 weeks in phase 2 VERONA; pivotal phase 3 trials COMO and CAPRI are now underway.
