International Society of Refractive Surgery (ISRS)

One interesting phenomenon is that in some countries, particularly the United States, interest in refractive surgery increased significantly.

Dr. Julie Schallhorn discusses findings from three presentations, including multifocal and accommodating IOLs for treating presbyopia, IOL power calculations in eyes after laser correction for myopia and pain control for photorefractive keratectomy. #AAO2020

This extra maneuver at the end is worthwhile.

In this newly published paper, the authors present evidence that a new wavefront basis provides a more clinically relevant interpretation of the ocular wavefront. Docteur Damien Gatinel

Dr. Ioannis G. Pallikaris welcomes you to the next ISRS Webinar on "Excimer Laser Vision Correction History," Dec. 15. Reserve your spot at https://bit.ly/3lzph1R. Join him and other pioneers in the field, Drs. Marguerite B. McDonald, Theo Seiler and James J. Wynne, as they discuss their contributions to the development of excimer laser vision correction.

Congratulations to our friends with the Chinese Society of Refractive Surgery on hosting their inaugural conference. More than 6,000 ophthalmologists participated in the live-streamed Opening Session, which included a talk by ISRS President Dr. Renato Ambrósio Jr.

In this surgical video, Drs. Ignacio and Julio Manzitti demonstrate surgery of a traumatic cataract in a 4-year-old child.

This paper highlights the importance of IOL formula choice and the need for additional research to determine the best way to select an IOL for a myopic target.

Congratulations to ISRS Surgeon of the Month, Dr. David Smadja! Watch his presentations on nanodrops for correcting refractive errors and his high-quality surgical videos on the ISRS Multimedia Library at www.isrs.org/media.

Although both procedures lead to good refractive and visual outcomes, the findings suggest FS-LASIK has a greater impact on dry eye disease symptoms and corneal nerve anatomy than SMILE.
