Schlemm’s canal physiology is altered in the glaucoma disease state, with most of the resistance downstream of the TM

Multifocality in IOLs is achieved through refractive or diffractive optical approaches

Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) can cause devastating damage to the eye and permanent vision loss

Today’s SS-OCT biometers employ two methods to measure the axial length: Sum-of Segments using individual refractive indices or a Mean Group Refractive Index.

Multifocal (MF) contact lenses are designed to provide functional vision to presbyopic patients of different ages, refractive errors and pupil sizes

A wettable contact lens surface is critical for maintaining a smooth and stable tear film.

Two fundamentally different principles of flap creation: the microkeratome mechanically separates the corneal tissue with the blade to create a flap, while in femtosecond LASIK a spatula is required to separate the stromal…

Phototoxicity is an inherent risk in how light interacts with the retina. These harmful effects are not only limited to high-intensity exposure such as sun gazing, but also present in ophthalmological procedures due to…

Increased understanding of fluidics has contributed to the evolution of vitrectomy cutters
