| | ICLs effective over long-periods
| | July 22, 2009 | The use of implantable collamer lenses (ICLs) to correct moderate to high myopia can offer predictable and stable results over a long period of time, according to a report published in the July issue of Archives of Ophthalmology. |
| | Presbyopia lens launch
| | May 13, 2009 | | Oculentis will present its presbyopia correcting LENTIS Mplus IOL at DOC 2009 in Nuremberg to an expert audience. It claims the lens features a completely new approach in multi-focal lens technology. |
| | IOL receives further $40 million investment
| | May 6, 2009 | | Visiogen is reporting significant progress in the development of the Synchrony IOL, including the completion of the US phase III study, the formation of Visiogen Europe GmbH and the commencement of commercialization in Europe. |
| | New offerings for the refractive surgeon
| | April 22, 2009 | | The Visante omni is the first system to combine OCT and Placido disk technologies, providing comprehensive anterior and posterior topography for improved patient selection and care. |

| | | Managing presbyopia in cataract patients
| | | An overall spectacle independence of 90% was achieved, however, I have found that some patients do still require glasses when using a computer for intermediate vision |
| | PresbyLASIK versus multifocal refractive IOLs
| | | PresbyLASIK treatment uses the principles of LASIK surgery to create a multifocal corneal surface aimed at reducing near vision spectacle dependence in presbyopic patients. This treatment constitutes the next step in the correction of presbyopia after monovision LASIK.1-3 Among the presbyLASIK techniques, central presbyLASIK 4 creates a central area, which is hyperpositive for near vision leaving the midperipheral cornea for far vision. 5 Positive clinical results of this surgical technique have been recently reported 4 and also tested objectively with a light propagation algorithm. 6 |
| | Laser thermokeratoplasty the ideal choice for presbyopes?
| | | The development of the excimer laser has allowed more and more refractive surgical procedures to be developed, treating ever-expanding indications. As such, LASIK remains the most popular procedure for surgeons seeking to correct myopia. But what about hyperopia, which is traditionally thought to be more difficult to treat? |
