SAN FRANCISCO — Phacoemulsification with in-the-bag implantation of a scleral-sutured modified capsular tension ring and an IOL is a practical procedure that preserves capsular and anterior hyaloid anatomy and avoids unnecessary vitrectomy, according to a physician here.”It is a better choice in the pediatric demographic, which is prone to blunt trauma,” Mauricio A. Perez, MD, said at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting.
SAN FRANCISCO — Topographically guided PRK was effective in treating irregular astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty, according to a study presented here. Best corrected visual acuity improved in almost half of all eyes, Simon P. Holland, MD, said at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting.

We need to know what it is; we need to know how to manage it,” Timothy P. Page, MD, said at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting here.
