Trends and topics of interest

Cornea

“Identifying patients at risk of corneal ectasia is a perennial challenge in clinical cornea and refractive surgery practices. There have been important advances in this area in the past year, and several of these will be highlighted in two courses featuring Cole Eye Institute faculty focused on expert interpretation of corneal diagnostic measurements. This will also be the first meeting of the AAO after the large-scale rollout of corneal crosslinking for keratoconus in the U.S., and there are many questions about timing of treatment, optimal patient selection, and the rapidly changing situation with cost and third-party payment. These topics will be discussed during the Cornea Subspecialty Day symposium in a talk Dr. Glasser and I are presenting.”

Refractive surgery

“Refractive surgery in the U.S. has gone without major change for nearly a decade, but recently FDA approvals have expanded the scope of refractive surgery in several area. Topography-guided LASIK now enhances the customization of LASIK surgery beyond wavefront-guided and wavefront-optimized corrections. SMILE (small-incision lenticule extraction) surgery provides a minimally invasive method of laser vision correction with an incision much smaller than the LASIK flap, which enhances safety from trauma and dry eyes. Two different types of corneal inlays have now been approved for presbyopia correction and corneal crosslinking now helps to stabilize the refractive progression of keratoconus and ectasia.”
