ESCRS EUROTIMES
DECEMBER EDITION 2005


Paul Rosen, FRCS, FRCOphth

FROM THE EDITORS:
Paul Rosen, FRCS, FRCOphth

This month’s issue of EuroTimes has a special focus on customised
ablation and includes articles, interviews and features covering
the theory and practice of wavefront and topography-guided
techniques in corneal refractive correction. The issue also
includes a symposium report from the ESCRS Congress in Lisbon
and reports on research findings from around the world in the
field of ophthalmology.

Vision scientist Raymond Applegate PhD speaks with EuroTimes about the past,
present and future of customised ablations
Speakers at a symposium at the VIIIth PAACO Congress
separate the science fiction from the science fact of customised ablation
Ray tracing advocated as an alternative to wavefront
aberrometry for customised ablations
Wavefront-guided LASIK enhancements appear to be
successful in reducing night vision problems
Optimised refractive correction shows promising results in LASIK
enhancements
A study suggests conventional non-wavefront driven scanning
slit laser can provide LASIK results identical to those of wavefront driven lasers
Wavefront-guided femtosecond LASIK may reduce need for
enhancements Cataract and Refractive
   
Artificial tears reduce post- LASIK dry eye symptoms
A report on a special symposium of the Journal of
Cataract and Refractive Surgery on corneal biomechanics held during the
XXIII Congress of the ESCRS
A retrospective study indicates that bi-toric LASIK provides
good, predictable and safe results in the treatment of pure myopic and mixed
astigmatism
New flap holder allows eye tracking for undersurface LASIK enhancements
Bilateral multifocal LASIK provides good near and
distance vision in hyperopic presbyopes

A new ophthalmic viscosurgical device enables surgeons to maintain excellent
anterior chamber stability during all key phases of cataract surgery
Recent upgrades further enhance safety and efficiency
of micro-pulse phaco Ocular Update
   
New international project may help integrate genetic research into to
eye diseases
