a 35-year old male presented to our keratoconus clinic complaining of bilateral reduced vision , despite spectacle correction due to significant astigmatism . his occupation as a welder with heavy exposure to a dusty environment made him an unsuitable candidate for contact lenses . the patient's ...
In Clinical, Jul 11, 2024Five years ago, I performed the first human implantation of the **EndoArt®** artificial DMEK-Implant at our Heidelberg University Eye Clinic. Based on a recent examination, I am pleased to say that the patient and the Implant are doing fine five years on.
In Clinical, Jun 18, 2024The paper "Rotational Stability of Toric Capsular Bag–Fixated Intraocular Lenses in Duet Procedure for Reversible Trifocality" evaluates the long-term rotational stability of toric intraocular lenses in polypseudophakic eyes. The study found that the presence of a second lens in the sulcus did no...
In Clinical, Oct 14, 2023The SING IMT is a second-generation implantable miniature telescope designed to improve visual acuity and quality of life in patients with late-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It features a smaller incision and improved surgical techniques compared to its predecessor. The device has...
In Clinical, Aug 01, 2023This study evaluates the xact Mono-EDoF ME4 IOL, a new hybrid monofocal lens with extended depth of focus, in 28 patients undergoing cataract surgery. The results show good functional outcomes for far and intermediate distance visual acuity and low levels of photic phenomena.
In Clinical, Oct 12, 2021A European multicenter trial found that a new IOL fixed to a femtosecond laser-made capsulotomy resulted in less decentration, tilt, and rotation, providing excellent visual and refractive outcomes over 12 months.
In Clinical, Feb 27, 2021A 49-year-old woman underwent bilateral exchange of a supplementary trifocal sulcus-fixated intraocular lens to correct a residual refractive error six months after the initial duet procedure. The exchange improved her uncorrected distance visual acuity and allowed for complete spectacle independ...
In Clinical, Dec 01, 2020The EndoArt, an artificial endothelial replacement membrane, has shown promising results in treating chronic corneal edema. This dome-shaped, 50-μm thick implant is made of a flexible, hydrophilic acrylic material and is designed to replace the diseased endothelium. It is implanted using the "pus...
In Clinical, Oct 11, 2020Heidelberg University Eye Clinic successfully treated a patient with radial keratotomy 22 years prior using a Morcher Xtrafocus lens, correcting fluctuating residual refraction after cataract surgery.
In Clinical, Sep 01, 2020Evaporative dry eye (EDE) is a common condition where tears evaporate too quickly, causing discomfort, irritation, and blurred vision. It is often caused by meibomian gland dysfunction, which can be treated with warm compresses, thermal pulsation, intense pulsed light, and meibomian gland probing...
In Clinical, Aug 03, 2020Oculentis Lentis Mplus High Add IOL is a hydrophobic acrylic biconvex IOL which has a +8 D sector-shaped near addition resulting in 6 D of near correction at the spectacle plane and 1.5 times magnifying power. “It provides image magnification for near — quite useful for AMD patients who normally ...
