New eyedrop to treat glaucoma

Glaucoma prevalence increases as the population ages. The FDA has approved Omlonti (omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution) 0.002% eye drops for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. These eye drops work by reducing the amount of fluid in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. Omlonti is a relatively selective prostaglandin EP2…

Unlike traditional contact lenses, ICLs are surgically implanted into the eye's posterior chamber, behind the iris and in front of the eye's natural lens.

White cataract surgical removal with phacoemulsification

White cataract is a type of "mature" cataract that occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, leading to decreased vision. This cloudiness appears white or opaque and can occur in different parts of the lens, including the nucleus (central part), cortex (outer part), or both. White cataracts can be caused by several factors, including aging, genetics, diabetes,…

Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery with Multifocal IOLs

Presbyopia-correcting implants are a type of intraocular lens (IOL) that can be used instead of the standard monofocal lens during cataract surgery to correct presbyopia, which is an age-related loss of near vision. There are several types of presbyopia-correcting implants, including multifocal IOLs, accommodating IOLs, and extended depth of focus IOLs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZSWp7cfrZk Multifocal IOLs provide multiple focal points that allow…

What is Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is an increase in the pressure within the eye caused by an imbalance in the production and drainage of the clear, watery fluid (aqueous humor) that fills the front portion of the eye. Normally, aqueous humor flows in and out of the eye to maintain a balanced pressure, but when the fluid doesn't drain properly, IOP…
