Cataract: #1 reason of vision loss and surgery globally (>30 Million/year) Problems: Matching cataract patient with right IOL (intraocular lens) is difficult and lengthy because of many IOL options Cataract surgery is irreversible Post surgery vision and patient satisfaction is unpredictable OcuSim Solution: Accurate postoperative visual acuity prediction and simulation of monofocal and premium IOLs before […]
Modern cataract surgery has reached new levels of precision and accuracy due to remarkable technological advancements in instrumentation and next generation IOLs. However, in spite of these advances, there remains a cohort of patients unhappy with visual quality outcomes, even when skilled surgeons hit target refraction within 0.25 to 0.50 diopters. Despite perfect surgical execution, […]
Endothelial keratoplasty offers significant benefits over traditional full-thickness corneal transplants, particularly in terms of reduced rejection rates and faster visual recovery. However, the procedure’s complexity, risk of graft dislocation, and need for specialized surgical skills pose challenges. As surgical techniques and postoperative care continue to improve, the outcomes and accessibility of EK are likely to […]
