In our latest review article, we discuss advanced personalized approaches to presbyopia correction using IOLs: 1. Reversible Trifocality: Supplementary IOLs offering presbyopia correction with the flexibility of removal if needed. 2. Capsulotomy-Fixated IOLs: Enhanced precision and stability in lens positioning, especially beneficial for multifocal optics. 3. Mix-and-Match Concept: Combining different IOLs with various optical principles to achieve optimal binocular vision. 4. Binocular IOL Systems: Complementary IOLs optimized for enhanced binocular performance. The article is part of the upcoming issue of Die Ophthalmologie, the official journal of the German Ophthalmological Society (DOG).

Understanding fibula shortening’s impact on #anklestability is crucial, but 2D radiographs may not fully capture the length. Parameters like the talocrural angle and dime sign are valuable, yet their effectiveness in 3D limb positioning remains a clinical challenge.

Ophthopedia Update:Effect of Astigmatism Treatment With Three Excimer Lasers After Photorefractive Keratectomy: Objectives: To compare astigmatism correction after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) using three excimer laser devices, Alcon Wavelight EX500, Schwind Amaris 1,050, and Technolas Teneo317 M2. Methods: This retrospective study included 414 eyes from 414 subjects with a history of PRK performed using Alcon Wavelight (n=172), Schwind Amaris (n=122), and Technolas (n=120). Uncorrected & corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA & CDVA), and refractive status (spherical equivalent (SE) and vector analysis (J0 and J45)) were postoperatively recorded at the 6-month and 12-month examinations. Results: The mean CDVA and J45 at 6-month and 12-month showed no statistically significant difference among the three different excimer lasers (P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in mean UDVA and J0 at 6-month and 12-month after PRK among the three groups, with no statistically significant difference between Alcon Wavelight and Schwind Amaris lasers, while both of the prior lasers showed a significant difference with the Technolas laser. The highest and lowest changes in the magnitude of J0 in 6-month and 12-month follow-ups were seen for the Alcon Wavelight and Technolas groups, respectively. Both Schwind Amaris and Technolas had a small hyperopic SE while the Alcon Wavelight's SE was minimally myopic. This difference in SE between Alcon Wavelight and both Schwind Amaris and Technolas reached statistical significance. Conclusion: While all three lasers performed well in reducing preoperative astigmatism; however, the Alcon Wavelight and Schwind Amaris were more effective in correcting astigmatism than the Technolas. The difference between the Alcon Wavelight and Schwind Amaris did not reach statistical significance. #Ophthalmology #Eye #Ophthotwitter

Arthroscopic access to the hip can be challenging. Researchers present a reproducible, safe, and efficient method for arthroscopic access to the hip. This can be especially beneficial for hips that may be predisposed to more difficult access. https://medilink.us/i4ql #orthopedicresearch #hippain #hipinjury

Cornea Update: Merging PRK and Collagen Crosslinking: An Analysis of Literature and a Guide to Prevalent Protocols: Purpose: The purpose of this review was to summarize the different surgical approaches combining photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and corneal crosslinking (CXL), present each protocol template in a simple format, and provide an overview of the primary outcomes and adverse events. Methods: A literature review was conducted as outlined by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Eight different databases were searched. Papers were included if PRK was immediately followed by CXL. Results: Thirty-seven papers met the inclusion criteria of a total yield of 823. The latest research into simultaneous PRK and CXL has been shown to not only stabilize the cornea and prevent keratoconus progression but also improve the visual acuity of the patient. Improvements in uncorrected distance visual acuity and (spectacle) corrected distance visual acuity were found to be significant when considering all protocols. There were also significant reductions in K1, K2, mean K, Kmax, sphere, cylinder, and spherical equivalent. Random-effects analysis confirmed these trends. Corrected distance visual acuity was found to improve by an average of 0.18 ± 1.49 logMAR (Cohen's D [CD] 0.12; P http://dlvr.it/T8ClRt #Cornea #MostPopularArticles #Ophthalmology
