First Inverted Meniscus Optics IOLs by Voptica
*This exclusive article is sponsored by Voptica. The opinions expressed in this article are the sponsor’s own. Intraocular lenses (IOLs) designs are constantly evolving to improve patients’ vision needs. Trifocal diffractive IOLs are designed to achieve good visual acuity at…
Yamane Technique – Intrascleral IOL Fixation
In cataract surgery, the optimal outcome involves implanting an intraocular lens (IOL) within the capsular bag. However, complications such as posterior capsule rupture, congenital lens anomalies, or traumatic injuries can leave patients without adequate capsular support, resulting in aphakia—a condition…
Researchers Find 101 Genetic Links to Cataracts
In the largest genetic study on cataracts to date, researchers from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute have identified 101 genetic regions associated with an increased risk of developing cataracts. This groundbreaking study analyzed DNA from over 950,000 individuals, providing significant…
Blood Pressure Variability Tied to Glaucoma Vision Loss
A study led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, reveals that long-term variability in blood pressure is associated with an accelerated decline in peripheral vision caused by glaucoma progression. The findings highlight the role of vascular factors…
Study Uncovers Retinal Mechanisms for Visual Stability
A recent eye-tracking study led by Prof. Markus Lappe from the University of Münster has uncovered new insights into how the brain maintains a stable perception of the world, despite constant eye movements. Published in Science Advances, the study sheds…
ESCRS 2024 Exclusive Insights: iNovation Day in Focus
The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) is gearing up for an innovative event with its iNovation® Day in Barcelona, Spain, on Friday 6 September 2024 at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via. Scheduled to be held prior to…
Rayner Launches First Blue Light Filtering IOL
Rayner announced the launch of the RayOne Hydrophobic BLF, Rayner’s first blue light filtering intraocular lens. RayOne Hydrophobic BLF, made of Rayner’s patented ultra glistening-free hydrophobic material, expands Rayner’s RayOne lens from seven to eight variants. The lens provides surgeons…
COVID-19 Tied to Rise in Acute Macular Neuroretinopathy
A recent Chinese study highlights a rise in cases of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) and related retinal conditions coinciding with the COVID-19 outbreak. Dr. Xiaojia Song, MD, from Beijing Tongren Eye Center and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, led the…
Stem Cell Breakthrough Restores Vision in LSCD Patients
In a groundbreaking achievement, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have successfully conducted the first human trial using induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived corneal epithelium to treat limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). This innovative approach marks a significant advancement in vision restoration…
Bimekizumab Reduces Uveitis Incidence in axSpA Patients
The study led by Matthew A. Brown, Genomics England, London, United Kingdom, and Martin Rudwaleit, Klinikum Bielefeld, University of Bielefeld, Bielefeld, Germany. Patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) treated with bimekizumab exhibited a markedly lower incidence of uveitis compared to those receiving…
