Live video perspectives from ophthalmology meetings give viewers the opportunity to hear a condensed version of speakers’ presentations.
So far in 2018, Healio.com/OSN has attended Hawaiian Eye 2018 and Retina 2018, the Glaucoma 360: New Horizons Forum and the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons winter meeting to interview physicians regarding their presentations.
Here are the top five most-watched video perspectives from those meetings.
1. MicroPulse technology reduces IOP in wide range of glaucomatous eyes
At the Glaucoma 360: New Horizons Forum, Shan Lin, MD, talks about a study he and colleagues at UCSF have initiated, using Iridex’s MicroPulse laser technology in transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in patients with a range of mild to refractory glaucoma. The technology has so far successfully lowered IOP 20% or more in 68% of eyes treated, he said. Watch here.
2. nGoggle allows assessment of brain function using virtual reality
At the Glaucoma 360: New Horizons Forum, Felipe Medeiros, MD, PhD, professor of ophthalmology at Duke University, discusses the development of the nGoggle, a device that merges virtual reality goggle technology with electroencephalogram technology to help assess visual function. Watch here.
3. Patient selection key in EDOF and multifocal IOLs in post-LASIK patients
At Hawaiian Eye 2018, Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, discussed pearls for cataract surgery using extended depth of focus and multifocal IOLs in patients who have had LASIK previously. Watch here.
4. Interventional glaucoma treatment: A needed paradigm shift
Ike K. Ahmed, MD, kicked off the Glaucoma 360: New Horizons Forum with the Drs. Henry and Frederick Sutro Memorial Lecture, in which he talked about interventional glaucoma treatment ushering in a new and disruptive approach to glaucoma treatment. Watch here.
