Investigators assessed the accuracy of 5 IOL formulas for calculating refractive outcomes following the triple procedure of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), phacoemulsification, and IOL implantation. Source: AAO
This study assessed graft survival following Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty in eyes with pseudophakic and aphakic bullous keratopathy, with ACIOL vs. PCIOL. Source: AAO
The Notal Vision Home OCT system was evaluated for patient success in daily detection of fluid and collection of data, to improve treatment decisions for neovascular AMD. Source: AAO
A prospective longitudinal study of biometry data assessed changes in refraction and axial length in children following cataract surgery to determine risk factors for greater myopic shifts. Source: AAO
This week in the news, ophthalmologists are surveyed about social media use, a device for taking 3D retinal images attaches to slit lamps, and early treatment of corneal abrasions is cost effective. Source: AAO
Corneal parametric features and axial length were examined for correlation with high myopia to explore mechanical properties and biological parameters for predisposition to other conditions. Source: AAO
Measurements of IOP made with commonly used tonometers before and after myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) were analyzed to compare the accuracy of these tools. Source: AAO
This study was a retrospective analysis of clinical findings and biomarkers used to distinguish between orbital cellulitis and idiopathic/nonspecific orbital inflammation. Source: AAO
This week in the news, CMV viremia in children does not necessarily lead to CMV ocular disease, higher rates of blindness are found in poorer US counties, and many patients with irritable bowel disease have retinal drusen. Source: AAO
This week in the news, cataract surgery decreases the risk of falls in older people, metabolic syndrome can lead to ocular hypertension, and telehealth visits lead to more in-person eye exams for patients with diabetes. Source: AAO
