| | Setting yourself up for success in refractive surgery
| | | Dr David Tanzer explains that in order to achieve the best possible post-operative results with laser vision correction, thorough pre-operative examinations are a must. Patients should be carefully screened, comprehensive clinical work-ups must be carried out and detailed informed consent given. Then, and only then, will surgeons achieve the best results. |
| | My Europia
| | | Myopia is a worldwide public health problem and the underlying mechanisms of its development are still unclear. Currently the key challenge is to attract, train and retain young researchers to the field. The European Research Training Network 'MY EUROPIA' adresses these urgent challenges, by innovative and attractive training and networking possibilities and by the establishment of closer private-public partnership links. |
| | The patients' new perspective
| | | Patients share their postoperative experiences and the dramatic changes in their lives bought about by undergoing refractive lens surgery. Patients had either high myopia, hyperopia and/or severe astigmatism and each received the AT.LISA 366D, a one-piece, 4 haptic multifocal IOL and each has found a new lease of life. |
| | A new approach to multifocal lens technology
| | | Professor Auffarth of Heidelberg University Eye Clinic reports on the results of his implantation of the LENTIS Mplus and explains how the lens works using a new unique optical principle. |
