We are pleased to present the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Ophthalmology. In this issue, we offer a series of engaging editorials, in-depth review articles and insightful original research highlighting some of the latest breakthroughs, innovations and practical insights in ...
The demands for refractive surgery weigh on achieving the best unaided vision postoperatively. This, in many clinics, lines up with achieving a plano or minimal spherocylindrical manifest refraction. However, in my experience, many patients are complaining of blurred vision after ...
Welcome to the winter edition of touchREVIEWS in Ophthalmology, which features relevant topics from across the specialty. This edition contains a wide range of articles evaluating current practice and research, as well as innovations that directly affect ophthalmologists. The surgical ...
Excess corneal astigmatism can cause visual aberrations, resulting in symptoms of glare, starbursts and halos. Astigmatism has long been difficult to correct with refractive laser surgery. The challenge has been to maximally reduce both corneal and refractive astigmatism while ensuring ...
Keratoconus is the most common primary progressive ectatic condition of the cornea. It is classically described as non-inflammatory, distinguishing it from several other pathologies associated with corneal thinning. Prevalence of this disease varies depending on geographical location, with reports as ...
A 34-year-old male presented to the clinic for a second opinion regarding ongoing symptoms of glare, ghosting, starbursts, haloes and reduced contrast sensitivity three years post-laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery. These symptoms were exacerbated under low light conditions, particularly ...
Welcome to the latest edition of European Ophthalmic Review. The past year has seen an impressive number of new approvals of ophthalmic drugs and devices, and 2019 promises further advances that change the way we practice though new drugs and ...
Ocular residual astigmatism The initial step of planning any refractive laser treatment that requires correction of astigmatism is to calculate the difference in magnitude and axes between the refractive cylinder at the corneal plane, and the corneal astigmatism – that is ...
Through the centuries, ceaseless innovation has advanced cataract surgery – the most frequently performed operation on earth – from Daviel’s lens extraction, to Ridley’s intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, to Kelman’s phacoemulsification, and now to femtosecond laser assisted techniques.1 Femtosecond ...
Corneal neovascularisation (CoNV) is a sight-threatening condition caused by new vessel formation from the limbal vascular plexus and marginal corneal arcades and invasion into the cornea in response to inflammation, infection, trauma and hypoxia.1,2 CoNV may lead to profound visual ...
The advances in surgical techniques over several decades have raised expectations among patients with cataracts who expect almost perfect vision and are less willing to accept spectacles for postoperative vision correction.1–3 Refractive cataract surgery involving the implantation of premium intraocular ...
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of disorders whose main clinical features include diffuse photoreceptor dysfunction, diminished electroretinogram (ERG), and progressive visual field loss. The disorders affect approximately one in 5000 people worldwide.1 Clinical features often include peripheral retinal pigment epithelial ...

In a recently published study,1 we proposed an objective method of measuring the refractive power change after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery. In common refractive practice, the differences in manifest refraction are used to calculate the refractive changes after ...
