1 day ago · Overview of Keratoprosthesis: Then, Now, and Tomorrow. This guide to keratoprosthesis for ophthalmologists outlines alternatives to traditional corneal transplants that are in the pipeline, such as synthetic corneas. Corneal disease is associated with an array of conditions that affect the transparent window at the front of the eye, the cornea.
1 day ago · Cataract surgery is a medical procedure used to remove the lens of your eye when it becomes clouded, a condition known as a cataract. During the surgery, the clouded lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL). This surgery is highly effective and safe and commonly performed to restore vision
3 days ago · The rapid advancements in generative artificial intelligence are set to significantly influence the medical sector, particularly ophthalmology. Generative adversarial networks and diffusion models enable the creation of synthetic images, aiding the development of deep learning models tailored for specific imaging tasks. Additionally, the advent of multimodal foundational models, capable of ...
5 days ago · Introduced to the public in 2022, it is a type of AI developed for continuous learning and designed to converse with its users. All AI systems continually refine their algorithms, offering limitless possibilities in their applications. Currently, AI is used in eye care for evaluating retinal images for detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR).
3 days ago · LASIK is a laser vision correction that’s amazing for fixing nearsightedness, farsightedness, and even astigmatism. It works by reshaping the cornea, the very front part of your eye. Unfortunately, though, it can’t make your natural lens more flexible again. While traditional LASIK won’t cure presbyopia, you can still consider monovision LASIK.
3 days ago · A lens is implanted inside the eye without removing the natural lens. Effective for severe refractive errors, people with high myopia, or those who aren’t candidates for LASIK or PRK. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) Removes the natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
4 days ago · Here’s a look at how AI is transforming the landscape of eye health. 1. Early Detection and Diagnosis. AI algorithms, particularly those based on deep learning, are capable of analyzing vast amounts of data from retinal images to detect early signs of eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration ...
