Key Takeaway Points, Digitally-assisted vitreoretinal surgery (DAVS) frees the surgeon from looking through the oculars Higher magnification, greater depth of field and improved depth resolution are optimized using DAVS when compared to the standard operating microscope Digital processing allows uniform image brightness and the utilization of standard or custom color palettes to further aid visualization of fine…

KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS , • Lens epithelial cell on-growth (LECOG) is one of the phenomena associated with capsular bag biocompatibility that has been reported in many IOLs with different types of biomaterials. • The chemical and physical properties of IOL biomaterial is considered to play an important role in the LECOG’s etiology with other contributing factors. • LECOG is usually self-limited without impact on patient…

KEY TAKE-AWAYS, IOL surface and bulk inhomogeneities have the potential to change the lens optical clarity and present as surface haze, subsurface nanoglistenings, or glistenings Clareon ® IOL, made of an advanced hydrophobic acrylic material with 1.5% water content, has demonstrated to be among the lowest level of surface haze, subsurface nanoglistenings and glistenings with in vitro testing Sufficient clinical…, *Defined as modified Miyata scale grade 0 or <25 MV/mm 2

KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS, Depth of focus extension elongates the focal region to provide a continuous range of vision from distance to intermediate, with some functional performance at near. Small aperture IOLs increase the depth of focus of the eye, but dramatically reduce the amount of light entering the eye, and consequently are typically only implanted monocularly. Low add diffractive multifocal IOLs can provide…

KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS , • The treatment of retinal detachment has undergone tremendous advancement over the last century • Several surgical pioneers developed and refined pneumatic retinopexy, which was the most popular method of treating straightforward retinal detachments at the turn of the millennium • Advancement of vitrectomy technology over the last two decades has allowed a high percentage of primary anatomical…

Introduction , Topography-guided laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) considers the shape of the anterior corneal surface and uses corneal curvature data from preoperative corneal topography measures. These treatment profiles help reduce higher order aberrations (including spherical aberration) by compensating for cosine effect and by normalizing the overall surface of the cornea. This is done by…
