Phakic iris clip lenses and endothelial cell loss
This retrospective observational study included long-term results on endothelial cell losses in highly myopic eyes, which underwent phakic iris-clip lens implantations. Included in the analysis were 113 eyes with mean preoperative spherical equivalent (SEQ) of -14.67 +/- 5.15 Diopters (D)....Improved efficacy expected with second-generation microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices
Microinvasive surgical approaches to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) offer minimally traumatic options for effective intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in appropriately selected glaucoma patients. Increases in laser trabeculoplasty rates and wider adoption of glaucoma drainage device filtration procedures, together with the...
Clinical features of basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia requiring surgery
Basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia (BANAET) is a concomitant esotropia occurring after the age of six months without significant refractive error or accommodative element. Esotropia is similar for both near and distance and children have prior binocular single vision. The purpose...
Childhood blindness and visual impairment in the Narayani Zone of Nepal
Up to 50% of childhood blindness is preventable or treatable, and its control is a high priority in the VISION 2020 initiative of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. In this study, the authors utilised the rapid assessment...
Retinoschisis
In this retrospective study the authors evaluate the effect of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for lamellar macular hole (LMH) with or without macular retinoschisis in highly myopic eyes. Twenty-one highly myopic patients (22 eyes)...Educational concerns and anxiety levels amongst ophthalmology trainees during the COVID-19 pandemic
How concerned are ophthalmology trainees about the present impact and the future consequences of suspended ophthalmic training programmes? Researchers in the West of Scotland investigate. Anxiety, stress and the longer-term stress reaction of burnout often go unrecognised, yet are known...Optegra Eye Health Care & ZEISS Symposium - Hands-on with latest innovations in ophthalmology
This interactive symposium, presented by Optegra Eye Care and ZEISS, will explore the latest advancements in surgical techniques, diagnostic tools, and patient care. We are proud to announce a special emphasis on practical learning through hands-on workshops
LASIK for myopia progression
The authors hypothesise that corneal reshaping with refractive surgery could have an effect on myopic progression similar to that of orthokeratology because it results in changes to the central cornea and not to the peripheral cornea. This was a retrospective...
Modification of surgery to reduce consecutive ET
Surgical treatment for recurrent exotropia (ET) predominantly depends on the primary surgery. Modification of surgical dose may be required in secondary procedures. The aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes of modified and conventional secondary surgery using lateral...

Surgical treatment for recurrent exotropia (ET) predominantly depends on the primary surgery. Modification of surgical dose may be required in secondary procedures. The aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes of modified and conventional secondary surgery using lateral...Glaukos Launches iStent infinite® in the UK Following MDR Approval
Glaukos has announced the launch of its latest glaucoma treatment, iStent infinite®, in the UK market after securing approval under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR). This new approval process is rigorous and provides ophthalmologists with reassurance regarding the efficacy...
