December 2018
Welcome to the December issue of The Ophthalmologist! You’ll find the latest research in Upfront –everything from small-particle pollution’s links to increased risk of glaucoma, to a double-layer eye patch as an answer to drug delivery problems. This December’s In My View section features leading experts speaking on current hot topics in ophthalmology: Ningli Wang talks about improvements to cataract surgery accessibility and affordability in China, and Paul Singh brings a new perspective to the discussion on premium lenses for glaucoma patients. This month’s cover feature looks at innovations from other fields that have made their way into ophthalmology, with John Marshall and Bert Massie sharing their experiences.
