The article discusses a study by Doctor Yonka Akova that investigated the use of topical and subconjunctival administration of bevacizumab to reduce experimental corneal vascularization in rats. Findings showed that bevacizumab inhibits corneal angiogenesis without any difference seen regardless of route of administration. It concludes that bevacizumab reduced experimental corneal revascularization significantly and may have additional effect in the treatment of corneal neorevascularization.

The article discusses a prospective evaluation including 20 eyes which found that trifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) effectively reduced astigmatism. Results also showed that trifocal toric IOL had good postoperative rotational stability, provided a full range of excellent uncorrected visual acuity and good contrast sensitivity. Dr. Yonca Akova shares insight on untreated preexisting corneal astigmatism as an important limiting outcome factor in multifocal IOL implantation.

The article reflects on the ways to enhance visualization during cataract surgery. It is stated that in patients with corneal opacities, visualization during cataract surgery can be improved using relatively simple techniques which are available for such processes. Such techniques includes capsular staining and dimming of the microscope light.
