INTERESTING EYE NEWS & CLINICAL PEARLS

From Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery: Femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery yielded faster visual recovery, less deviation from the target refraction, and earlier stabilization of refraction.

From Journal of Refractive Surgery : The ICL PIOL provided good refractive outcomes and stability in the long term. The incidence of cataracts is low when the latest models of this PIOL are used.

From International Journal of Rheumatic Disease : Dry eye and impaired tear function in patients with vitamin D deficiency may indicate a protective role of vitamin D in the development of dry eye, probably by enhancing tear film parameters and reducing ocular surface inflammation. Patients with vitamin D deficiency should be evaluated for dry eye syndromes.
