Intraocular lens technology to deliver enhanced optical performance after cataract refractive surgery
Modern cataract surgery aims to provide patients with the best possible visual outcome with the least dependence on spectacles and minimal or no complications and to treat both cataract and refractive errors with a single procedure. Phacoemulsification is the standard...
Corneal molecular and cellular biology for refractive surgeon
This is an interesting literature review that looks into the recent advances concerning the corneal molecular and cellular processes that are involved in the wound healing response after excimer laser surface ablation and LASIK surgery. It talks about the complex...
Cyclo spray vs. drops
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cyclo spray is better tolerated than cyclo drops and to assess the adequacy of cycloplegia achieved by spray for objective refraction. Cyclo drops were given to 72 children and cyclo spray...
Anything new in the control of myopia progression?
This is a review article looking at up to date concepts and evidence in myopia control from current literature and studies. The authors identified that myopia control is best measured in absolute change in axial length as opposed to refraction...Is lens constant optimisation for IOLMaster indispensable in order to achieve a good refractive outcome?
A study of refractive outcomes following cataract surgery was carried out with the aim of comparing the postoperative refractive outcomes against Royal College of Ophthalmologists standards and to determine the extent of association between accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power...
Delayed surgical treatment of orbital trapdoor fracture in paediatric patients
This is a retrospective study of 30 patients between three and 14-years-old, recruited between January 2008 to September 2016, who underwent surgery for trapdoor fractures. Two groups were evaluated: Group A- 17 patients with muscular entrapment, Group B- 13 patients...Surgical treatment of high myopia
Although several excellent modalities are available for correcting high myopia, the surgical treatment of this condition remains one of the biggest challenges for refractive surgeons; this group of patients is often very dependent on contact lenses. If these patients become...
The Art of Refractive Cataract Surgery
The Art of Refractive Cataract Surgery is a structured and clinically focused textbook aimed at ophthalmology residents, fellows and surgeons seeking a systematic introduction to refractive cataract surgery. Content is presented in a clear format, with concise sections, and effective...
Cost-effectiveness framework discussion for vision screening
The authors present a discussion paper on hypothetical, but representative, examples of post-referral costs that may result from different screening options up to the point of discharge from specific services. Data was taken from a recent (2019) systematic review (with...
Confocal microscopy and corneal graft rejection
Forty-five patients following penetrating keratoplasty (PK) were examined with the HRT III Rostock Cornea Module confocal microscope at various points after their surgery for two years. Activated keratocytes (AKs) were counted manually and their mean number evaluated. A pattern was...
Topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy in the treatment of corneal scarring
This study reports the outcome of topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (TG-PRK) in the treatment of patients with corneal scarring. A retrospective case series including six eyes of six patients with corneal scarring and irregular astigmatism who underwent topography guided PRK. The...
