Anterior chamber lens holds promise for high hyperopia
Stanford, CA-The Artisan hyperopia lens (Ophtec BV, Groningen, The Netherlands) appears to provide good visual results for extreme hyperopia ranging from 3 to 12 D, according to phase III results reported by Edward E. Manche, MD, assistant professor of ophthalmology and director of cornea and refractive surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA.
Frantz EyeCare reports 98% of Light Adjustable Lens patients achieved refractive accuracy within ±0.50 D of target, exceeding published national cataract surgery benchmarks.
In this Q&A, Ping Moore, OD, covers emerging dry eye therapies, from selenium sulfide to next-gen cyclosporine, and how subtype-guided care shapes treatment choices.
Findings from the third annual State of Dry Eye survey link symptom management to quality of life gains, including lower anxiety and improved self-confidence.
