2010 Journal Updates

September - December

• Transepithelial CXL shows favorable but limited results in patients with keratoconus 
• Presbyopic lens exchange in emmetropic patients shows good results
• Case of Fusarium keratitis after CXL
• Simultaneous bilateral surgery may not be appropriate for phakic posterior chamber IOL implantation 
• Time to update corneal imaging terminology
• Long-term study finds low intraoperative complication rate with femtosecond LASIK 
• Case report highlights need for better post-LASIK ectasia screening
• Case report: Late traumatic LASIK flap striae without dislocation AcuFocus corneal inlay for presbyopia shows promising results at two years
• Light-adjustable IOL can eliminate residual refractive error in some patients
• New accommodating IOL appears to improve reading ability in post-cataract surgery patients Biomechanical metrics of unilateral keratoconus may not be different from normal eyes
• Study shows biomechanical behavior of the cornea during and after CXL
• CXL induces cellular wound-healing mechanisms, alters corneal structure for up to 36 months
• Intraoperative videokeratography in keratoplasty surgery
• Postoperative biomechanics may account for discrepancy between simulated and real outcomes in LASEK

Access the September - December updates

June - August

• LASIK results unpredictable after multifocal implantation
• Study describes epithelial thickness changes after hyperopic LASIK 
• Scheimpflug imaging appears useful for monitoring corneal volume after LASIK
• Cross-linking shows positive one-year results for post-LASIK ectasia
• Similar outcomes seen with Oculyzer vs. Topolyzer for topography-based laser surgery No significant difference in visual outcomes between AcrySof ReSTOR and Acri.LISA IOLs 
• New approach to assessing corneal elasticity using ORA
• Corneal stiffness as important as corneal thickness in applanation tonometry measurements
• Four different femtosecond laser flap thicknesses show similar predictability
• OCT-based IOL calculation formula appears promising 
• Study further validates efficacy, safety and predictability of LASIK

Access the June - August updates

March - May

• Promising, early results for light adjustable IOL
• High vault may decrease over time after ICL implantation
• Efficacy maintained with 12-second MMC application in PRK
• Study finds Lenstar and IOL Master measurements interchangeable
• Study identifies flaws in NEI Visual Function Questionnaire
• Ectasia Risk Score System may not accurately predict post-LASIK ectasia in eyes with normal topography
• 3-D mapping of epithelial, stromal, and full corneal thickness may help detect keratoconus
• Femtosecond lasers appear safe for retinase 
• LASIK for highly myopic eyes has superior long-term safety, efficacy over PRK 
• First-eye refractive error may not be reliable gauge for second eye in bilateral cataract surgery
• Refractive surgery trends in Germany  
• Psychological factors influence decision to undergo LASIK, and patient satisfaction after LASIK
• MRSA endophthalmitis isolates show high resistance to fourth-generation fluoroquinolones
• Acetaminophen helps reduce pain during cataract surgery
