Novel ocular biometer enhances precision of IOL power calculation

ISTANBUL — A novel ocular biometer that combines a Purkinje imaging method and an OCT device has the potential to produce highly accurate and reproducible measurements for IOL power calculation, according to one speaker.“It might be a promising solution for both normal and challenging cases, such as post-LASIK eyes or implantation of toric IOLs,” Michael Mrochen, PhD, said at the winter meeting of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.

VIDEO: Keratoconus specialist gives pearls on how to obtain the best results with cross-linking for keratoconus

ISTANBUL – At the ESCRS Winter Meeting, Farhad Hafezi, MD, PhD, gives pearls on how to make the most of crosslinking, as a standalone procedure or in combination with vision enhancing procedures. There is no standardized reaction of corneas to crosslinking, and case by case surgeons should be able to evaluate whether vision enhancing procedures should be performed or not, and if they are better performed simultaneously or consequentially to crosslinking.
