July 2018

Welcome to the July issue of The Ophthalmologist! Upfront visits a range of topics, including the viability of 3D printed corneas, and the link between myopia and education duration. In My View sees Blake Williamson consider the future of presbyopia management – from adjustable lens technologies to topical solutions; and Mitch Jackson share his thoughts on FLACS, and why it has not yet reached its peak. In our Feature – The Art of Eyes – we showcase the beautiful side of ophthalmology. In Practice sees Karolinne Rocha share her top tips for the Yamane technique of intrascleral haptic fixation, and discuss its potential application in complicated cornea cases. In NextGen, Walter Furlan introduces a new concept for presbyopia correction, and explains why it offers an edge over currently available corneal inlays. Finally, we Sit Down With Steve Charles, the founder and owner of the Charles Retina Institute in Memphis, Tennessee.
