In this Healio Video Perspective from the virtual AAO annual meeting, Michael R. Robinson, MD, vice president, global therapeutic area head, ophthalmology, AbbVie, breaks down studies investigating presbyopia-treating eye drops.

One-year results show that the Juvene fluid-optic IOL succeeds in providing stable, full range of vision from distance through near, according to a study.

In this Healio Video Perspective from the virtual AAO annual meeting, Daniel H. Chang, MD, discusses his poster presentation investigating the performance of violet light filters.

In this video perspective from the virtual AAO annual meeting, Gabriel Quesada, MD, discusses his study investigating the safety and efficacy of small-aperture IOLs in cataract surgery in patients with previous bilateral radial keratotomy.

Initial commercialization of the EVO Viva lens, including the first patient implant, has begun, STAAR Surgical announced in a press release.

For patients with presbyopia, it depends on factors such as age of the patient or if there is any other pathology.

Small-diameter aperture optics, or as many call it, the pinhole, can increase depth of focus, enhance quality of vision at distance in select patients and mask small refractive errors, whether myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia.

A pinhole effect, achieved through surgery, pharmacologic agents, IOLs or inlays, can treat significant irregular corneal astigmatism and higher-order aberrations, whose effects are minimized by reducing pupillary aperture.

Extended depth of focus IOLs differ from multifocal IOLs in an important way.

The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance to Norlase’s Lion, a green laser photocoagulator integrated into an indirect ophthalmoscope, according to a press release.
