Advances in phakic intraocular lenses: indications, efficacy, safety, and new designs

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology

Abstract

The recent evolution of phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs) has made this refractive surgical technique safer, very predictable, and effective. Due to these reasons, PIOLs have been expanding the horizon of their indications. The aim of this review is to update the reader in the recent advances reported on the topic during the year 2003. The most recent progress has been made towards decreasing the incision size down to 3 mm or less for all PIOLs models to avoid pupil ovalling in angle-supported designs with new biomaterials or exchangeable haptics, and to decrease the incidence of cataract induction in posterior chamber models with modified designs and better sizing. High-order aberrations and the quality of vision are improved with PIOLs. The main limitation for the further development of PIOLs is the lack of adequate diagnostic imaging techniques to perform a precise preoperative study of the anterior segment anatomy. Emerging diagnostic technologies based on the use of very high frequency (100 MHz) ultrasound and optical coherence tomography seem to have a most important role in the future development of PIOLs defining preoperatively the most adequate anatomic conditions for each design. PIOLs offer today an excellent alterna...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
