Refractive Surgery

George Waring IV, MD serves as guest host for ‘History and Evolution of Contemporary Refractive Surgery’

Refractive surgery for treating myopia is linked to low rates of regression, enhancement.

New option may prove to be a solution for cataract cases with unusual corneas.

Physicians should consider basing decisions on findings from comprehensive consultation and examination.

One surgeon shares the early results of his experience using the new TECNIS Eyhance and TECNIS Eyhance Toric II IOLs in performing the first post-FDA-approved cases in the U.S.

Phakic lenses are proving to be excellent additions to refractive practices.

Robert Ang, MD, discusses highlights of his AAO 2020 presentation on a study analyzing the vIsual outcomes of a small-aperture IOL implantation in patients with a history of post-laser refractive surgery.

Advances in laser-vision correction provide visual results that often surpass 20/20.

Optics block out-of-focus and stray light, allow continuum of vision.

Large randomized trial compares efficacy and safety of multiple regimens

Streamlining preoperative process can offer some relief during stressful time

Newly cleared technology for laser cataract gives ophthalmologists another tool.

Monofocal toric lens delivers effective astigmatic correction and more, study results show

RLE, in unexpected twist, is gaining support among surgeons

A common symptom, dry eye can have an adverse impact on visual recovery and outcomes

Providing findings from a retrospective study, Li Lim, MD, noted that eyes with high myopia benefit from CXL add-on to LASIK, resulting in safety, efficacy, and predictability with refractive outcomes that are more stable than those achieved with LASIK alone. 

Follow-up at 7 years shows procedure safe, effective, provides stable correction

Laser technology has potential to modify IOL refractive index without change to lens shape

Comparable levels of near, distance visual acuity; high patient satisfaction marks observed
