How do we make the most of the latest dry eye diagnostics?

Interesting article published on Ophthalmology Management magazine by Bobby Saenz, OD, clinic and residency director at Parkhurst NuVision in San Antonio, Texas. He states that "diagnostic technologies help make patient education more efficient by giving us images that clearly show the pathology and functional effects of dry eye"

Ophthalmology Management - Make the most of the latest dry eye diagnostics The latest dry eye diagnostic equipment lets ophthalmologists know more about their patients ocular surface disease before even entering the exam room.

Great work developed by team in .

Tear-film dynamics by combining double-pass images, pupil retro-illumination, and contrast sensitivity Tear-film dynamics were analyzed by a synchronizing recording of double-pass (DP) and pupil retro-illumination (RI) images with contrast sensitivity (CS) measurements. Simultaneous DP and RI images were acquired in three subjects wearing contact lenses while keeping the eye open. Changes in contrast...

Yesterday, former PhD student with and now R&D Scientist, Alexandros Pennos spoke at the LOUM symposium in Murcia to celebrate 25 years of the lab’s success. He spoke at today’s symposium about the , discussing the numerous advantages and value it can bring to ophthalmology clinics around the world.

Universities and labs around the world can offer access to an unimaginable amount of research and scientific advancements for enterprises that are looking to collaborate to create innovative healthcare solutions. This goldmine of knowledge and resources is a priceless tool that can be leveraged to make patient’s lives easier when dealing with a number of different pathologies.

How can you integrate ocular surface assessment into your patient’s standard examination?

In this interesting article written and shared by Laura M. Periman, MD at , she discusses what happens if pathologies like Dry Eye Disease and MGD (Meibomian Gland Disfunction) are not recognized and treated prior to surgery. Results will not be optimal, and patients often blame the surgeon. The true cause of the suboptimal, post-op state was the underlying, untreated condition. In fact, Dry Eye Disease has been correlated with IOL calculation errors and poor refractive outcome on multiple occasions 1 . Any cataract surgeon aiming to optimize surgical results should take this into consideration!

Great screening session carried out yestarday at . Our employees got their eyes screened as part of the amazing project driven by Halma plc and the to fight against preventable blindness in underserved countries.

The day had great activities prepared by Instituto de Microcirugía Ocular, one of them being an Augmented Reality simulation, to allow users to experience the effects of glaucoma while virtually walking through different obstacles on a maze. What an experience!

We also thank Adam Meyers and the Halma group collaborators for being involved in such a great cause that the world totally deserves.
