The lecture is named after Arthur Lim (1934-2014), the father of ophthalmology in Singapore. He was founding medical director of the Singapore National Eye Centre. He also helped establish the Singapore Eye Research Institute. Among his contributions are more than 20 books, including a comprehensive guide to eye diseases.

Harold Ridley made the first intraocular lens (IOL) on 29th November 1949. In 1967, he set up a registered charity, the **Ridley Eye Foundation (REF) which today funds cataract surgery in developing countries. The Foundation keeps a family connection – Harold Ridley's son Nicholas serves as its Chairman. In 2020, Nicholas and Alistair Wood, REF’s CEO, began an ambitious project to bring cataracts surgery to remote villages

In Silicone oIl study, Nov 26, 2023The safety of Reversible Trifocality.
The long-term axial alignment of capsular bag–fixated toric IOLs in polypseudophakic eyes was comparable to the results reported for monopseudophaks. The presence of the second lens in the sulcus did not appear to affect the rotational stability of the first IOL.

Two different IOL injector systems, the Multisert and the AutonoMe, were used. Implantation was without critical events in 96 of 96 eyes. Mean implantation time was 41.90 ± 7.11 s with the Mult isert and 52.22 + 12.06 s with Autono me.

In lab news, Aug 12, 2023Overcoming implantation challenges with SING IMT
The SING IMT is an implantable telescope. With a haptic diameter of 10.8mm, an axial length of 4.4 mm and a weight of 63 mg in aqueous humor the implant is substantially bigger and heavier than conventional IOLs. With its increased size and weight the lens device significantly stretches the average-sized capsular bag.
In news, Aug 01, 2023Enlarged incisions – but why?
In cataract surgery small corneal incisions are associated with a significantly better visual recovery. What are initially small incisions can enlarge during surgery and that impedes the positive effects of keeping the incision small. Our goal was to identify the surgical factors that cause a larger final incision size. We can recommend that IOL-manufacturers should reduce the vertical diameter of the injector tip.
