From high-speed trauma to UV exposure, eye safety deserves greater attention in winter sports and elite competitions like the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
Winter sports are commonly associated with lower limb injuries, while eyes—frequently exposed to stress and risks—remain underestimated and need more recognition...
A look at what the future holds for robotic surgery in Europe.
Developments in robotic technology are poised to handle the growing volume of cataract surgery patients and meet their increasing expectations for precision outcomes. One day, the field may progress to reach a level of fully autonomous robotic procedures, but that is not likely to occur any time soon...

Leveraging AI to develop capability for robot interpretation and decision making.
Two teleoperated robotic cataract surgery systems have already been used clinically, demonstrating advantages such as greater precision, faster response times, tremor cancellation, and improved standardisation. However, the technology still faces significant limitations...
Visual simulators can be a powerful tool to improve vision outcomes.
A new wave of visual simulators is proving useful in helping understand neuroadaptation in the real world of IOL performance, training, and pre- and postoperative visual function...
One global language for vision: the new functional IOL classification reshapes eye care, research, and patient trust.
The recently achieved global consensus on the evidence-based functional classification of simultaneous vision IOLs (SVIOLs) is a crucial milestone for focusing on what really matters to surgeons and patients: clinical outcomes...
Preoperative counselling a key point for a happy patient.
The line between a patient’s satisfaction and dissatisfaction can potentially be drawn in the consultation room...

Matching patients’ expectations with their needs is crucial for a good surgical outcome.
For simultaneous vision lens implantation, the best outcome for patients can only be reached by prioritising their needs...
Femtosecond lasers bring automation to cataract surgery.
Robotic cataract surgery is no longer just a dream. With today’s femtosecond laser assistance systems, robotics are already in use in operating theatres...

Technologies offering diffractive or lens position changes are entering human trials.
Laser-adjustable intraocular lenses (IOLs) are now entering clinical studies and have the potential for in vivo diffractive adjustment into any distance or multifocal profile. Further developments in laser-adjustable lenses, as well as the already commercially available light-adjustable lenses, are likely...
Effective communication and realistic expectations are essential for patient satisfaction in refractive and cataract surgery.
To achieve patient satisfaction in refractive and cataract surgery, even a perfect surgical performance is sometimes not enough—effective communication plays an important role...
Challenges and opportunities await cataract surgeons interested in integrating early glaucoma treatment as part of comprehensive care.
As cataract surgeons increasingly take on glaucoma procedures, the divide between the two fields is blurring...
A holistic approach to health can magnify benefits of cataract surgery.
Cataract patients often struggle to accurately describe their symptoms at the best of times. So, how can surgeons best manage when patients present with diminished mental function? How can ophthalmologists help as rates of dementia rise?
Organisation, collaboration, and tempo are key to managing the growing challenge of ageing boomers.
The baby boomer generation will have a massive impact on future ophthalmology, and some strategies must be put in place to handle all the new patients who will need care...
Change starts in the clinic, with every voice counting.
Cataract surgery is a high-yield opportunity for reducing the carbon footprint, with waste-reduction measures sustainable for both the environment and cost, according to Jonathan Malcolm MD.
Simulation models and methods improve trainees’ skills.
By 2050, global blindness is expected to triple. Will there be enough skilled ophthalmologists to meet that challenge?
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.
