Greater accuracy of cycloplegic refraction
The authors conducted this study on 5320 pre-school (four to six-year-old) and 6475 school (seven to ten years) children to compare the results of final glasses prescription based on cycloplegic refraction with atropine to those of non-cycloplegic refraction. For younger...ZEISS Biometry Mastery Course (6 Feb 24)
This is a one-day course which will be running on Tuesday 6 & Wednesday 7 February - attendees have the choice of either date on a first-come-first-served basis. The 'Biometry Mastery Course' is exclusively tailored for pre-assessment nurses in cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery, as well as dedicated Ophthalmic professionals. With a comprehensive curriculum encompassing eye anatomy, refraction, cataract surgery, biometry principles, best practices, formulas and IOL constants, participants will delve into the heart of biometry. Our practical workshops, featuring the IOLMaster 700, equip attendees with the key knowledge, skills and understanding to perform accurate and precise biometry and how they relate to the patient pathway.ZEISS Biometry Course
Join us for the 'ZEISS Biometry Mastery Course' on 13 and 14 September. Designed for pre-assessment nurses in cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery, as well ophthalmic professionals. Our program, aligning with RCO and NICE guidelines and recognised biometry standards, offers over two decades of expertise. Delve into eye anatomy, refraction, cataract surgery, and IOLMaster 700 workshops to enhance biometry skills and patient care. Lead in biometry excellence with us!
Implantation of diffractive trifocal intraocular lens
This study reports on 60 eyes of 120 patients who underwent routine cataract surgery followed by implantation of the trifocal IOL model Lisa tri-839MP. This is a diffractive trifocal preloaded IOL with no interruption at the haptic-optic junction, 360 degrees...
Management of high AC/A esotropia
The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term effect of treating high accommodative convergence to accommodation (AC/A) esotropia with single vision lenses (SVL) compared with the effectiveness of using SVL on patients with basic refractive esotropia and a...
QuickSee Free autorefractor results in outreach settings
The Gambia screening project was launched in 2022 to provide vision screening for school-aged children. Within this screening programme, the refractive error measurements of the QuickSee Free autorefractor were compared to cycloplegic refraction in this outreach setting. Six rural schools...
Childhood headaches
The goal of this study was to compare headache resolution in children receiving or not receiving refractive correction. The authors conducted a retrospective review of 158 patients: 78 male and 80 female aged three to twelve years (mean eight). Twenty-seven...
BT outcomes for accommodative esotropia
The purpose of this study was to study the effect of Botulinum Toxin (BT) in refractive and non-refractive accommodative esotropia unresponsive to glasses and poor compliance with glasses. This was a retrospective study of 114 patients who had BT for...Refraction planning in cataract: avoid creating an unhappy patient
“It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.” William Osler The focus of this paper is the prevention of an unhappy patient following cataract...
Changes in axial length and refraction in young Chinese school children
The authors aimed to assess refractive error and axial length in children aged seven to eight years (grades 1-2) starting education in South China. The study reviewed 301 students and obtained data for analysis from 291 (50.2% female). Average axial...
Spot screener versus Grand Seiko measurements
The authors aimed to determine repeatability and reproducibility of refractive values and pupil size measured using the Spot Vision Screener and to compare its measurement values with the Grand Seiko autorefractor. This was a cross-sectional study of 22 healthy adults;...
