TOP STORY
Controversy continues over role of clear corneal
incisions in rising rate of endophthalmitis


FROM THE EDITORS:
By CLIVE PECKAR FRCS, FRCOphth

As it enters its tenth year of publication, EuroTimes will be appearing in a new magazine format. This month’s issue has a special focus on innovations in cataract surgery and includes articles and features on the latest research findings and current controversies in ophthalmology.

Main Stories


ESCRS Symposium Report

 

Non-surgical factors may contribute to incidence of endophthalmitis

Fourier algorithms hold promise for
wavefront treatment of aberrated eyes
 
 
 
 



Clear corneal incisions
implicated in rising incidence endophthalmitis but other factors may be responsible

Cataract surgery entails
low but ever-present risk of retinal detachment in long term

Practitioners of microincision cataract surgery share
their experience and insights at ESCRS Congress symposium

Trimodal phaco system
enables surgeons to minimise ocular trauma from cataract procedures

Australian study indicates
that not all risk factors for endophthalmitis are related to surgery

New multifocal IOL offers
broad range of functionality

Wavefront-guided PRK
may achieve results superior to conventional PRK in low myopes

Fourier algorithms
may provide superior wavefront guided ablations

Evidence does not support
many systemic-diseaserelated contraindications to LASIK

Flap manipulation and laser ablation,
not microkeratome cut, responsible for higherorder aberrations induced by LASIK

Promising results
for wavefront-guided hyperopic LASIK

French researchers report
better flap creation with femtosecond laser

Flexible iris-fixated phakic IOL
yields good early results

Intracorneal ring segments
can ameliorate loss of vision in patients with post-LASIK ectasia

LASIK with ultra-thin flap
may leave stroma stronger and vision better

Intralase
goes for a slice of the microkeratome pie
