Effects of ‘inverted U method’ Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy on anterior segment and IOL tilt
The study aimed to investigate the effects of the ‘inverted U method’ Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy on anterior segment parameters, decentration and tilt of intraocular lens (IOLs) and visual acuity in 76 patients with posterior capsular opacification (PCO) after previous...
Self refracting – child’s play?

The authors set out to evaluate an OCT-based positioning regimen for macular hole surgery. Patients were advised to maintain prone positioning until the hole was confirmed to be closed based on daily OCTs. Surgery consisted of 23-gauge phacovitrectomy with internal...
High myopes with POAG and IOP fluctuations
The authors describe a prospective study of 80 eyes of Chinese patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) on prostaglandin analogues to investigate if those who also have high myopia exhibit greater short-term intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations at resting conditions over...DOs study myopia management at ABDO’s NRC

LASEK with mitomycin C to correct myopia in thin corneas
This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) with intraoperative use of mitomycin C (MMC) performed on thin corneas for the correction of myopia. MMC modulates the corneal wound healing response in surface healing, thus reducing the...
