Femtosecond laser creates more accurate flap thickness
Stanford, CA—Treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism with LASIK using the CustomVue platform (CustomVue, VISX) proved to be safe and effective with either the IntraLase femtosecond laser (IntraLase Corp.) or the Hansatome microkeratome (Bausch & Lomb), according to Edward E. Manche, MD, director of cor-nea 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.
