There is extensive evidence in literature supporting the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty in the treatment of various glaucoma types, including primary open angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, pigmentary…

Vitroretinal surgery is a relatively “new” specialty that has advanced as technology has evolved

Surgical vitrectomy consoles have evolved tremendously and have incorporated the functions necessary for the vitreoretinal surgeon to perform safe and efficient surgery

The determinates of flow rate in vitreoretinal procedures are complex, due to the unpredictable nature of the vitreous and how various parameters interact with each other.

The clinical relevance of visual fields has progressed over time, and is a relevant functional indicator of the status of a patient’s glaucoma

The evolution of surgical glaucoma treatment has led to the development of procedures attempting to achieve better efficacy, but having variable complication profiles

Cataract surgery performed with high irrigation pressures result in intraoperative IOPs that are typically many times higher than the physiological IOP.

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
