Integrating research, reusable practices, and industry collaboration in ophthalmology.
Just look at your processes—the things you do inside the OR, or the clinic, the staff room—and think about how you could do it better.

YOFS study calculations demonstrate potential cost and environmental savings of reusables.
While some studies show lower carbon footprints for reusable instruments, the single-use variety may be more cost effective.
Charity Committee initiative trains surgeons in MSICS technique.

The criteria for achieving the best outcomes for cataract patients after corneal surgery are remarkably diverse.
Surgeons will note a lack of research on performing cataract surgery after cornea surgery, especially regarding simultaneous vision intraocular lenses (SVL). According to Ruth Lapid-Gortzak MD, PhD, this research has contradictory results....

New and ongoing projects address key clinical issues and future needs.
In a few short years, the ESCRS has evolved from a regional organisation of cataract surgeons to a leading authority in international ophthalmology research, particularly projects involving the anterior segment...

Swedish experience with cataract surgery registries serves as a successful model.
More than three decades of data from the Swedish National Cataract Registry suggest quality registries can provide important information on cataract surgery risk factors, especially for rare complications...

Progress depends on ethical collaboration and taking on challenges.
Ensuring ethical collaboration with industry, addressing regional, demographic, and environmental barriers, and developing guidelines for integrating new technologies are among the challenges ophthalmologists must address for continued progress...
Epithelial thickness mapping provides valuable insight for treatment and patient counselling.
Epithelial remodelling after LASIK can lead to refractive changes due to the lensing effect of the epithelial layer, but the pattern of remodelling is highly unpredictable...

Post-market product surveillance remains a never-ending challenge.
Complying with regulatory requirements is a big motivator for surgeons and clinics to participate in post-market surveillance of drugs and devices. But detecting adverse events in the real world...
Knowledge of risk factors directs patient management and informed consent.
The incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is increasing globally, and cataract/refractive lens surgery is a known risk factor for this event...
Decision making requires consideration of numerous factors.
Multiple options exist for managing intraocular lens (IOL) luxation in a vitrectomised eye. With a surgical plan that considers the pros and cons of the various choices...
Considering the risks against the alternatives to refractive lens exchange.
An unacceptably high risk of retinal detachment (RD) that could result in blindness argues strongly against performing refractive lens exchange (RLE) for extreme refractive error in patients younger than 40 years, according to...
Cross-referencing databases and registries can help predict individual needs.
The age of individualised care is dawning. Powerful computer platforms are beginning to cross-reference massive amounts of data stored in various medical record systems, registries, and other databases...
Registry studies shed light on post-cataract surgery outcomes and risks.
Long-term data collected by eye care registries are important for monitoring the safety and effectiveness of, and patient satisfaction with, cataract surgery...
Low to moderate irregular astigmatism is not an exclusion criterion for binocular implantation of EDOF IOLs.
Low to moderate irregular asymmetric astigmatism does not affect the visual performance of an extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL, according to a study...
ESCRS and three other multinational societies of cataract and refractive surgeons have jointly endorsed a position paper on the importance of multi-use phacoemulsification cassettes to safely reduce unnecessary surgical waste...
Continuous transitional focus more forgiving than central HOA designs?
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) providing extended depth of focus (EDOF) using a continuous transitional focus multifocal refractive design may be better tolerated by patients with small pupils than IOLs using...
Lens position, refraction, and accommodative range stable at 24 months.
An investigative intraocular lens (IOL) that uses a fluid-filled module to change shape and refractive power remained stable in the eye and demonstrated a wide accommodative range 24 months after implantation...
An ESCRS webinar on 8 October examined the role of small-aperture optic surgical procedures in modern ophthalmology, from intraocular lenses and corneal inlays to pupilloplasty...
The winning essayist in the 2025 John Henahan Writing Prize competition said ophthalmologists must make diversity, equity, and inclusion a priority to ensure the long-term sustainability and quality of the profession...
