Cleveland Clinic oncologists are evaluating a genomic test that looks for 236 genes implicated in cancer. A key question the clinical study will try to answer is how well the broad genomic screen works in real-world settings.
Optical Coherence Tomography Gives New Insight Into Choroid
The use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) is expanding into previously uncharted territory: the choroid. As researchers fine-tune enhanced depth imaging OCT, ophthalmologists are gaining a new tool to evaluate choroidal conditions, retinal degeneration and ocular tumors.
Researchers Developing 3-D Patient-Specific Model of Corneal Properties
A $2 million grant will help Cole Eye Institute scientists produce a three-dimensional model of an individual patient’s corneal shape and material strength. The model would help identify early signs of keratoconus, and would serve as a ‘virtual eye’ to test treatments or screen refractive surgery candidates.
Expanding the Retinal Imaging Field with Ultra-Widefield Technology
Cole Eye Institute ophthalmologists are seeking to understand how an enhanced retinal imaging technology, known as ultra-widefield imaging, can clarify how to best manage patients based on the degree of ischemic burden.

Case Study: Advanced Diagnostics Help Resolve Microsporidial Keratitis
At Cleveland Clinic’s Cole Eye Institute, electron microscopy led to the resolution of a prolonged case of microsporidial keratitis previously missed with traditional microscopy.
Forging Next-Generation Integrated Intraoperative OCT Instrumentation
At Cole Eye Institute, surgeons and researchers are working to develop the next generation of intraoperative OCT devices and instrumentation to improve ophthalmic surgical outcomes in real time.
Electronic Medical Records: The Future Is Now
Adopting an electronic medical records system is a time-consuming process, but it can offer great advantages for an ophthalmology practice. Learn more about the implementation process from the Cleveland Clinic’s experience.
U.S. News and World Report addresses Ophthalmologists’ concerns about Rankings
Avery Comarow, the health rankings editor from U.S. News & World Report, addresses various misunderstandings concerning the Best Hospitals rankings after confusion surfaced in a national discussion with ophthalmologists convened by the Cleveland Clinic’s Cole Eye Institute.
Contact Lens-Mediated Acanthamoeba Harms Vision
Bacteria aren’t the only microbes that cause corneal infections. The protozoa Acanthamoeba, which can be introduced to the eye via contact lenses, is a rare, vision-threatening form of keratitis requiring careful diagnosis.
Imaging Solutions in the Age of EMR
The flood of diagnostic imaging in ophthalmology can be overwhelming to the clinician if data isn’t presented and managed in a logical, effective way. Here’s advice on selecting the right imaging solutions system.
