Refractive Surgery News

NEW YORK — Presbyopia-correcting drops may be a good choice for patients who previously underwent corneal refractive surgery and can act as a temporizing measure until further surgery becomes necessary, according to a speaker here.

NEW YORK — Surgeons should use trusted technology preoperatively and postoperatively to treat patients with astigmatism, according to a speaker here.

Patients implanted with a wavefront-shaping presbyopia-correcting IOL reported high levels of satisfaction, according to a study presented at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting.

In this video from the ESCRS meeting, Mayank Nanavaty, MD, speaks about the advantages of the Tecnis Eyhance IOL (Johnson & Johnson Vision), a lens that offers the same visual quality of a monofocal but a broader depth of focus.

Patients who underwent myopic astigmatism correction with the SmartSight lenticule extraction procedure experienced good visual and refractive outcomes at 12 months, according to a study.

Four-year results in a group of patients treated with topography-guided LASIK in one eye and SMILE in the contralateral eye showed that LASIK provides superior visual outcomes.

“There is no free lunch in optics” was the title of the ESCRS Binkhorst Medal Lecture, given by Gerd Auffarth, MD, PhD.

A large population of young myopic patients who underwent SMILE surgery achieved excellent refractive and visual outcomes, at least equivalent to modern LASIK, according to a speaker.

At the ESCRS meeting, Daniel Chang, MD, speaks about the results of a post-marketing study evaluating rotational stability, visual performance and surgeon satisfaction with the Tecnis toric II IOL (model ZCU, Johnson & Johnson Vision).

In this video from the ESCRS meeting, Pavel Stodulka, MD, PhD, speaks about enhanced monofocal IOLs, otherwise known as EDOF or IROF IOLs.
