From high-speed trauma to UV exposure, eye safety deserves greater attention in winter sports and elite competitions like the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
Winter sports are commonly associated with lower limb injuries, while eyes—frequently exposed to stress and risks—remain underestimated and need more recognition...
Matching patients’ expectations with their needs is crucial for a good surgical outcome.
For simultaneous vision lens implantation, the best outcome for patients can only be reached by prioritising their needs...
Femtosecond lasers bring automation to cataract surgery.
Robotic cataract surgery is no longer just a dream. With today’s femtosecond laser assistance systems, robotics are already in use in operating theatres...

Technologies offering diffractive or lens position changes are entering human trials.
Laser-adjustable intraocular lenses (IOLs) are now entering clinical studies and have the potential for in vivo diffractive adjustment into any distance or multifocal profile. Further developments in laser-adjustable lenses, as well as the already commercially available light-adjustable lenses, are likely...
Effective communication and realistic expectations are essential for patient satisfaction in refractive and cataract surgery.
To achieve patient satisfaction in refractive and cataract surgery, even a perfect surgical performance is sometimes not enough—effective communication plays an important role...
Challenges and opportunities await cataract surgeons interested in integrating early glaucoma treatment as part of comprehensive care.
As cataract surgeons increasingly take on glaucoma procedures, the divide between the two fields is blurring...
A holistic approach to health can magnify benefits of cataract surgery.
Cataract patients often struggle to accurately describe their symptoms at the best of times. So, how can surgeons best manage when patients present with diminished mental function? How can ophthalmologists help as rates of dementia rise?
Organisation, collaboration, and tempo are key to managing the growing challenge of ageing boomers.
The baby boomer generation will have a massive impact on future ophthalmology, and some strategies must be put in place to handle all the new patients who will need care...

Change starts in the clinic, with every voice counting.
Cataract surgery is a high-yield opportunity for reducing the carbon footprint, with waste-reduction measures sustainable for both the environment and cost, according to Jonathan Malcolm MD.
Simulation models and methods improve trainees’ skills.
By 2050, global blindness is expected to triple. Will there be enough skilled ophthalmologists to meet that challenge?
Integrating research, reusable practices, and industry collaboration in ophthalmology.
Just look at your processes—the things you do inside the OR, or the clinic, the staff room—and think about how you could do it better.
YOFS study calculations demonstrate potential cost and environmental savings of reusables.
While some studies show lower carbon footprints for reusable instruments, the single-use variety may be more cost effective.
Charity Committee initiative trains surgeons in MSICS technique.

Simple solutions can help increase sustainability in ophthalmology.
Real-world wins and challenges prompt ongoing development.
EUREQUO outcomes data suggested no benefit from using femtosecond (FS) lasers in cataract surgery. This appears to have changed practice.
Innovators Den finalists pitch solutions to knotty ophthalmic problems.
With populations ageing worldwide, dislocated and subluxated IOLs are becoming more common, particularly in post-trauma cases or after complicated cataract surgeries.
Fewer clinic visits, lower emissions in cataract care.
Especially in cataract and refractive surgery, the environmental impact of ophthalmology is an ever-growing concern. According to Aisling Higham MSc, one of the driving changes that can alleviate the carbon footprint of health services can be found...
