Hyperopia

The first patient has been enrolled in a study of the Technolas Teneo excimer laser for LASIK surgery in patients with hyperopia with astigmatism, according to a press release.

We ophthalmologists are all introduced to pinhole or small-aperture optics on the first day of our residency when we are taught how to measure visual acuity and refract a patient.

Patients younger than 40 years with non-presbyopic hyperopia had good visual outcomes after refractive lens exchange with trifocal IOL implantation, according to a study published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery.

The American Optometric Association- sponsored InfantSee program resulted in an increase in the number of infants between 6 and 12 months old evaluated by optometrists.

LAS VEGAS — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ASCRS meeting, Colman Kraff, MD, discusses data from a study investigating the iDesign 2.0 Star S4 aberrometer (Johnson & Johnson Vision) using integrated topography.

Welcome to another edition of CEDARS/ASPENS Debates. CEDARS/ASPENS is a society of cornea, cataract and refractive surgery specialists, here to discuss some of the latest hot topics in ophthalmology.

A novel bilateral LASIK technique based on modulation of spherical aberration showed efficacy as a treatment for presbyopic hyperopia in a study.

Children with accommodative esotropia experienced shifts in their degrees of hyperopia as they aged, according to a study.

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.

In this video, Dan Reinstein, MD, tells the story behind lenticule extraction and implantation for refractive purposes and discusses the theoretical advantages and disadvantages.
