As we continue with our blog series on BCLA CLEAR™ Presbyopia, our next paper’s first author is Shehzad Naroo – a Professor at Aston University. While traditional management of presbyopia has concentrated on spectacles, contact lenses and refractive surgery, new treatment options that include manipulation of the scleral tissue and pharmacological interventions are set to change the way we think about this condition. It reviews a wide range of surgical and pharmacological options and the visual and optical outcomes, post-treatment management and the safety and efficacy of the procedures including impact on quality of life.

🤔 Does the cause of a meniscus tear influence treatment outcomes? 💡A recent study found that whether a meniscus tear is from a traumatic event or develops over time, the improvements from surgery or exercise are actually similar. ✅ Check out the “Research Summaries” on our NEW app to understand more about this study. https://lnkd.in/ersxr7r5

In the March issue of CRST (Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today), I presented a case study about a patient who presented to me for refractive surgery with high astigmatism in both eyes.🏈 A thorough examination and imaging is required before every surgery, because you may find surprises that are not obvious with a just a slit lamp exam!😱 Also, these case studies usually demonstrate that medicine is both a science and art- there are multiple ways to solve a problem (in this case, getting rid of glasses).🎨 Check out this article to find out what I decided to do for this patient, along with the perspectives of Dr. Frank Price and Dr. Kanika A. 🤝 https://lnkd.in/epN57xAW

In this episode, Christine Larsen, MD, recaps her article, “Advanced Cataract Technologies in Glaucomatous Eyes,” in which she discusses the importance of identifying goals and expectations of glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery, and evaluating their options. She also outlines the advanced technologies available for these patients and how to approach patient selection. Listen in here: https://bit.ly/4cC4YN3

PACE - our new 2nd generation customized CXL. Vision improvement by up to 4 lines (from 40 to 80%). This view just five minutes after the surgery demonstrates the huge flattening effect where the keratoconus virtually disappears. This is due to the immediate photochemical reaction, it has nothing to do with excimer laser ablation, it is a pure, massive cross-linking effect. From the ELZA Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, the Corneal Cross-Linking pioneers. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dWsxnUAb #keratoconus #elzainstitute #cornealcrosslinking

Brian Englander, MD, says how placing SCOUT® at Time of Biopsy has been a game-changer for his practice and his patients. He states, "With stereotactic or MRI guidance, we have typically placed biopsy clips at the time of biopsy, and the patient would return for a separate localization procedure if they progress to surgery. Now we are able to localize suspicious lesions at the time of biopsy with SCOUT. This makes the experience a lot easier for our patients."
