Byline: Abhishek. Onkar Recurrent corneal erosions (RCEs) are a common cause of ocular morbidity in the form of episodes of pain, watering of the eye, increased sensitivity to light, and [...]

Byline: Milind. Naik, Mohammed. Khader, Somasheila. Murthy Purpose: To report the frequency of periorbital aesthetic abnormalities in patients undergoing refractive surgery and to report the ability of the patient and [...]

Byline: Buse. Guneri Beser, Elvin. Yildiz, Ece. Turan Vural Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate visual quality after high-frequency transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (t-PRK) by assessing the relationship [...]

THIS YEAR (March 25 to be exact) marks the 30th anniversary of a significant advancement in vision-correction history. I had the honor of performing the world's first laser-vision-correction procedure in [...]

Byline: Gitansha. Sachdev, Shreyas. Ramamurthy Case Report A 23-year old female presented to our Refractive Services seeking independence from spectacles. Her unaided distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 6/18 and 6/6 [...]

Dr. Daniel Senekal--Edmonton, Alberta Can every refractive candidate undergo SMILE? Currently, SMILE is only performed on myopic/nearsighted patients and those with astigmatism. We can treat nearsightedness of -10 diopter together [...]

Eagle vision. Super vision. These terms have been batted about for years as we've talked about the potential of various new technologies and stated goals to deliver improved visual outcomes. [...]

Focus on Refractive Surgery With the rapid advances in the subspecialty of lens refractive surgery--such as femtosecond lasers, premium IOLs, and astigmatism management-the importance of ocular surface optimization cannot be [...]

Focus on Refractive Surgery Two events are changing the landscape of IOLs: the advancement and acceptance of toric IOLs and the aging of patients who have undergone previous LASIK so [...]

Boston -- Conic intrastromal relaxing incisions (CIRI) for astigmatic correction, a new surgical procedure performed with the femtosecond laser, can correct different types of astigmatism that previously had been difficult [...]

Chicago -- A minimally invasive technique for the correction of refractive errors (ReLEx SMILE, Carl Zeiss Meditec) has good refractive predictability, is safe and effective, and has excellent stability up [...]

Orlando, FL -- A new procedure for keratoconus (Keraflex, Avedro) that treats the cornea with a microwave device (Vedera KXS, Avedro) and collagen crosslinking is showing promising early outcomes in [...]

Buenos Aires, Argentina -- Patients with forme fruste keratoconus may benefit from a procedure that combines PRK and corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL). The procedure seems to be safe and effective. [...]

Vancouver, British Columbia -- Simultaneous topography-guided PRK with collagen cross-linking seems to offer promising early results for patients with keratoconus who are contact lens intolerant. The technique is controversial because [...]
