Dry eye drops
Evaporative 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. EDE can also be managed with topical medications like spironolactone and azithromycin.

Supplementary IOL calcification
Researchers analyzed explanted intraocular lenses from polypseudophakic eyes with supplementary sulcus-supported lenses, finding calcification in both capsular bag and supplementary lenses, with varying morphology and patterns related to environmental factors and comorbidities.

After Lock-down - how to re-start?
The webinar, "SIFI Global Webinar," held on May 9, 2020, discussed the challenges of restarting cataract surgery after lockdown restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The panel, consisting of seven surgeons from Asia and Europe, covered topics such as patient interview protocols, COVID-19 testing, ocular infection, and tele-ophthalmology. The webinar aimed to provide guidance on safely resuming clinical and surgical practices.

Visualising rays in IOLs
The study visualized and analyzed the optical performance of four intraocular lens (IOL) models using a ray propagation imaging technique and modulation transfer function (MTF) measurements. The IOLs included a monofocal, bifocal, trifocal, and extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) lens. The results showed distinct foci for distance and near vision in the bifocal and EDOF IOLs, and three distinct foci in the trifocal IOL. The technique allowed for a qualitative assessment and comparison of light energy distribution between different IOL models.

EDOF IOL research
This study compares the image quality of three extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens models in monochromatic and polychromatic light. The results show that EDOF IOLs are more resistant to chromatic effects and provide better through-focus performance than monofocal IOLs, but differences in optical design and pupil dependency should be considered for optimal patient outcomes.
