Uncorrected binocular visual acuity at far, intermediate and near distances as the new standards for vision outcome in modern cataract surgery
Clinical and experiment ophthalmology, 2016; 44: 639-640
Near and distance vision cataract surgery
Dr Viki Andersons and Associate Professor Michael Goggin continue to offer cataract surgery that assists with both distance and near vision after recovery. The use of multifocal intraocular lenses for suitable patients remains one of their particular…
Treatment for astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery
Astigmatism is a failure of focus of the eye caused by the surfaces in the eye that focus the light for vision being oval instead of spherical. It is usually managed by use of contact lenses, glasses or laser vision correction. If it is present in…
Technology: IOLMaster 700
Excellent visual outcome from cataract surgery depends on a number of factors. Major amongst these is the ability to measure the eye accurately prior to surgery. Routine cataract surgery involves removal of the cataract (a cataract is a cloudy lens…
Associate Professor Michael Goggin speaking at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons annual Congress in London
Dr Goggin spoke on his research into improved outcome for cataract patients with astigmatism at a recent meeting of over 8000 ophthalmic surgeons in London. Astigmatism is a failure of focus of the eye due to the fact that the surfaces that focus…
‘The Femto cataract surgery still evolving,’ clinicians say
Femtosecond cataract surgery shows promising results but continues to evolve, expert speakers said at the “Why Bother with Femto-assisted Cataract Surgery?” symposium.
"It is yet uncertain whether the procedure will be as good or better than standard phaco," said Dr. Bellucci, who co-chaired the symposium. Article from EyeWorld News.
Preliminary results of ESCRS/EUREQUO FLACS Study show femto and phaco comparable
The preliminary results of the joint ESCRS/EUREQUO FLACS (femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery) Study demonstrate that, even in different patient populations, results are similar in FLACS and phacoemulsification, Peter Barry, MD,…
Early research findings on laser-based cataract surgery in Europe
There are several methods of removing cataracts and the recent introduction of “femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery” or FLACS has been touted to improve outcome of routine cataract surgery by the companies marketing the lasers and some surgeons.…
