Can a drop of perfluorohexyloctane, known to persist in the tear film, influence the precision of keratometry and ultimately affect surgical planning?

Digital Twin and VESA can integrate refractive data, topography, biomechanical properties, and even simulate age-related changes in the eye—turning it into a predictive and diagnostic tool for clinicians managing complex conditions like presbyopia.

At ARVO 2025, Mark Bullimore, MCOptom, PhD, emphasized the need for more accurate, condition-specific tools in evaluating myopic eye growth and treatment efficacy.

Lindsell discusses promising retinal therapeutics, such as at-home therapies, gene therapy, and devices like the Valeda Light Delivery System (LumiThera), which uses photobiomodulation and shows early promise in preventing geographic atrophy altogether.

Shamie encourages taking a contemporary, elevated approach to refractive surgery.

Selina McGee, OD, FAAO, emphasized that today’s approach to presbyopia correction must move beyond traditional methods like spectacles and contact lenses.

Hammond and his team focused on creating a reliable conversion factor between 2 widely used optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems—the TopCon Maestro2 and the ZEISS Cirrus 5000. Their work specifically looked at ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measurements, which are critical markers in glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring.
