Cataract

Low prediction errors from 2 evaluated formulas shows promise for accurate prediction of IOL formulas in high myopic patients.

Evaluating patients’ eyelids before cataract and refractive surgery is crucial, as ptosis can create unwanted adverse effects and alter outcomes.

AcuFocus's IC-8 Apthera IOL features a proprietary small aperture technology that filters out peripheral defocused light and allows only focused light to reach the retina.

Dr. Koetting asks: When do you feel it is time to discuss cataracts with your patients?

The Medical University of South Carolina offers brand new, state-of-the-art surgery center dedicated solely to ophthalmic procedures.

Mitch Ibach, OD, and Damon Dierker, OD, explore how the current landscape in cataract surgery shows an upward swing in the number of surgeries that are being performed in increasingly younger patients by an increasingly small number of surgeons.

Practices must efficiently integrate optometry and ophthalmology, delegating appropriate care to the proper specialist, in order to ensure patients’ total eye care needs are best met.

Research also highlights the top factors that lead to care, which can be used to improve parents' uptake of sight-saving surgery for their children.
