The PRECISION PROFILE^® Design on Alcon multifocal contact lenses is a center-near aspheric design with a smooth power profile, changing continuously from the center of the lens to the periphery of the optic zone.

The mechanisms of action of the HYDRUS Microstent include trabecular meshwork (TM) bypass, Schlemm’s canal scaffolding, and 90 degree span, or about 3 clock-hours of canalicular drainage; the mechanism of action of iStent…

A wettable contact lens surface is critical for maintaining a smooth and stable tear film. PRECISION1™ (verofilcon A) contact lenses have a highly breathable silicone hydrogel core with 51% water content surrounded by a…

There is much experimental evidence showing that blue light poses a hazard to macular health induces retinal toxicity and damage.

The extremes of intraoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) are deleterious and can lead to visual loss

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

Utilizing accurate Lens Constants for specific IOL models and employing an appropriate new generation IOL formula can improve the refractive outcome of a cataract procedure; Manufacturer recommended lens constants, either…

This white paper provides an insight into the importance of keratometry readings, particularly for toric IOL power calculations, and it indicates that biometers should not be used interchangeably

Managing ocular surface diseases (OSD), especially dry-eye disease (DED), is critical to improve visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after cataract surgery.
