Role of Aflibercept in NonProliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR)
Intravitreal injections of aflibercept can reduce the severity of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, according to PANORAMA trials. The trial involved one eye in each of 402 participants with severe NPDR, randomized with one control group receiving sham injections or one of two aflibercept groups (the first group- aflibercept 2q16 receiving aflibercept 2 mg every 16 weeks […]

Iris Fixation IOL Technique
Implantation of intraocular lens has become the standard of care for correction of aphakia after cataract surgery. The development of safe and effective IOL s is one of the great successes in ophthalmology. Modern PCIOL’s have a track of remarkable safety and provide excellent visual outcome after uncomplicated cataract surgery. Ideally, we aim for IOL […]
3D Printing in Ophthalmology
3D Printing is a technology where physical objects are created from digital files. It is a disruptive technology which has hasten the development in all fields around us. In health care 3D printing is used to make resorbable airways, titanium implants, functional prosthesis and anatomical models. 3D printing has further developed into “Bio-printing “ where […]

New Stimulation Approach Produces ‘Form Vision’ in Blind People
Dynamic stimulation of the visual cortex can allow blind people to recognize various letter shapes.Dr. Daniel Yoshor from Baylor College of Medicine, in Houston, Texas, and colleagues developed an dynamic technique where activation of a sequence of electrodes are analogous to tracing letters on the palm. The technique is known as current steering and researchers […]
