This webinar will focus on the effectiveness and efficiency of the AMO/Zeiss cataract suite, highlighting the ways that each product improves upon the traditional cataract workflow.
Sarah Baroody, MD, shares her experience and changes in functionality since implementing an electronic medical record platform in practice.
A 59-year-old otherwise healthy man presented with an acute-onset diffuse rash involving over 90% of his body surface area, including oral, genital, and ocular mucosal involvement. Initial ophthalmic examination was notable for development of extensive corneal epithelial defects in both eyes as well as conjunctival sloughing and pseudomembrane formation.
Adding the corneal inlay into a general or refractive surgery practice can be a great benefit to patients and the practice when done correctly.
Performing cataract surgery on young patients can be a challenge, and the evolving technology can be used in cataract surgery for young children.
No physician has the ultimate knowledge and should not be afraid to engage colleagues in the treatment of a patient. Usually, the patient will appreciate the concern and will continue as a patient.
Ophthalmologists must change the way they use data in order to meet the mounting challenges facing their profession, said Paul P. Lee, MD, JD, in the Drs. Henry and Frederick Sutro Memorial Lecture at the 4th Annual Glaucoma 360 New Horizons Forum.
In head-to-head clinical assessments, alcaftadine was found to be statistically and clinically superior to olopatadine for relief of allergic conjunctivitis.
In his latest blog, Zack Oakey, MD, writes why he now believes OD-performed procedures should not be legal.
There are essential components to a budget for your practice-rent, utilities, and staff wages to name a few. But there should also be another section in your budget for marketing.
Tending to an angry ophthalmic customer is the golden opportunity to foster a better relationship with him or her-here's how.
Visual snow is a persistent visual disturbance that is typically described as seeing ‘television static’ throughout the visual field.
Ophthalmologists are finding that femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery may be beneficial to some patients with Fuch’s dystrophy.
For the Aker Kasten Eye Center, the surgical benefits of switching to femtosecond laser cataract surgery have surpassed any initial financial concerns.
Take-home message: Implantation of intrastromal rings for keratoconus can be a highly effective treatment with proper patient screening, surgical planning, and femtosecond laser precision.
This article discusses the advantages and limitations for surgical compensation of presbyopia with the femtosecond laser using corneal inlays and the Intracor technique.

The Laser Cataract Consortium, comprising five experienced laser cataract surgeons, undertook a study incorporating rigorous collection of data from 7,200 eyes undergoing cataract surgery.
Cataract surgery lowers IOP in eyes with exfoliation syndrome (XFS) or exfoliation glaucoma (XFG), and it might even change the natural history of glaucoma in eyes with XFS. However, it may also be appropriate to combine phacoemulsification with glaucoma surgery in certain patients with XFG.
A calcium channel blocker may be associated with marginal pupil dilation, making it more likely that pupil-dilating devices will be needed during phacoemulsification.
Learn about the effect of increased osmolarity on the corneal surface. This video provides insight into managing patients with hyperosmolarity and about the importance of testing in patients considering surgery.
In this article, Dr Tanna discusses treatment options for glaucoma patients who do not show satisfactory response to a PGA while taking into consideration the two key therapeutic choice factors: IOP-lowering efficacy and tolerability.
CO2 laser-assisted sclerectomy surgery performed with a proprietary platform offers an effective and safer alternative to the manual non-penetrating deep sclerectomy procedure for the management of medically uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma.
In this comparison study, IOP reductions were greater with BTFC than with TTFC and patients on this combination were more likely to achieve and maintain low target pressures. Combined BrTFC and DTFC may also be a more appropriate therapeutic choice for IOP lowering than TTFC and BrTFC, respectively.
The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay (Revision Optics) improves near-visual performance without added visual disturbance in pseudophakic patients.
Real-world experience with ocriplasmin indicates it is an effective, safe, and cost-effective treatment for symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion in properly selected eyes.
Patients who are blind from retinitis pigmentosa continue to benefit from a safe retinal implant after 3 years, Ophthalmology reported
