Removal of Soemmering ring material during complex IOL procedures can be frustrating. Check out this nice technique for removal using an IOL cartridge and pars plana irrigation: RELIEF Technique https://t.co/EKFVvaDNvE via @aao_ophth
Dead Bag Syndrome is an underrecognized cause of IOL subluxation. I often see this as a mobile IOL bouncing around in a pristinely clear capsular bag, or spontaneously blow-out the posterior capsule long after #cataract surgery. https://t.co/6vidmdX4I0
#Vivity non-diffractive #EDOF IOL provides superior intermediate and near vision with similar visual disturbance profile compared to monofocal IOL. Excellent IOL option for patients desiring distance and mid-range focus without significant glare symptoms. https://t.co/mMUKIq4ahg
Do you know the difference between Salzmann nodular degeneration and peripheral hypertrophic subepithelial corneal degeneration? #cornea https://t.co/TCqYfnir94
Most Salzmann nodule excisions are associated with a myopic shift. Typical shift around 1 D, though corneas with flatter preop keratometry may shift more. Helpful when counseling patients on refractive expectations before nodulectomy. #cornea@jcrsjournal https://t.co/T59B5cRAEC
Multifocal and EDOF IOLs deliver excellent uncorrected vision at a range of distances. However, they come with a trade-off of increased patient-reported symptoms and decreased contrast sensitivity. Preop counseling and patient selection are very important! https://t.co/0hURJuHcDu
Double-masked RCT did not demonstrate benefit from use of hyperosmolar drops for Fuchs dystrophy. Will this change your practice? #Cornea https://t.co/fazHjKiLRb
Some of us use jeweler's forceps every day to remove things from eyeballs. But you're missing out if you haven't yet bought a cheap pair to remove slivers from your children's feet! #ophtholife#doctorparent https://t.co/Kifpg4WKUi
Cohort study shows increase in #dryeye signs and symptoms following #COVID19. I've been noticing this association in my clinic as well. Anyone else? https://t.co/la5TsZcoLw
Mask-wearing #iPhone users rejoice! As long as you are connected to your Apple Watch, the new #iOS 14.5 update allows you to unlock your phone using Face ID even when you are wearing a mask. Great news for those of us who spend long days masked! https://t.co/9Wd70RQVJd
Scheimpflug topography features useful to predict #cornea edema resolution after #DMEK in patients with #Fuchsdystrophy: 1) nonparallel isopachs, 2) focal posterior depression, 3) anterior/posterior backscatter, & 4) CCT https://t.co/AaxzsN5Hka via @JAMAOphth part of @JAMANetwork
