"With CIRRUS' Epithelial Thickness Mapping, I can now better identify eligible patients for refractive surgery, and I can also monitor the cornea's post-surgical healing response," Doane said.

Key Points:

"With CIRRUS' Epithelial Thickness Mapping, I can now better identify eligible patients for refractive surgery, and I can also monitor the cornea's post-surgical healing response," Doane said.
ETM with CIRRUS provides a detailed nine-millimeter map of epithelial thickness that enables more thorough assessment of patients before refractive surgery, allows monitoring of the cornea's response to treatment, and aids in managing patients with ocular surface disorders such as dry eye and progressive corneal diseases such as keratoconus.
With ETM, patients can expect a quick, comfortable non-contact exam that takes less than 1-second.
59 percent are held by Carl Zeiss AG, one of the world's leading groups in the optical and optoelectronic industries.

Abstract: Accurate refractive index of a contact lens is one of the most important parameters needed to properly evaluate lens performance.

Key Points:

Abstract: Accurate refractive index of a contact lens is one of the most important parameters needed to properly evaluate lens performance.
Measurements of the refractive power and other optical properties of a lens are typically conducted in solution, and converted to in-air performance.
Such an approach is very sensitive to errors in the refractive indices of both the lens and the solution.

It's called SMILE, and like other refractive surgery procedures, it uses the most advanced laser technologies to correct vision and reduce dependency on spectacle wear.

Key Points:

It's called SMILE, and like other refractive surgery procedures, it uses the most advanced laser technologies to correct vision and reduce dependency on spectacle wear.
Though Vance Thompson Vision has been using the VisuMax laser for the past 6 years, the most recent FDA approval includes a wider range of treatment, allowing people with higher corrections and astigmatism to be candidates for SMILE.
Not only did the Vance Thompson Vision team work to get this treatment approved, but will now offer this technology to best treat the patients that walk through our doors.
To learn more about this treatment, or other treatments that may be best for you, schedule a free consultation by calling Vance Thompson Vision.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The Refractive Surgery Alliance (RSA), a global professional organization of leading eye surgeons, announced today the creation of a new and innovative training program for vision correction surgeons.
The RSA program structure is unique and recognizes the expanding and rapidly evolving field of vision correction surgery, also known as "refractive surgery."
Instead of training surgeons under a single preceptor's guidance at one site over one year, the RSA program incorporates a network of training sites that follow a standardized curriculum over two years.
The curriculum includes clinical and surgical training, as well as training in technology, innovation, research, teaching, business and leadership.

Christopher Lievens, Christina Newman, Alan Kabat and optometry student Jacob Weberconducted this study at the Southern College of Optometry (SCO).

Key Points:

Christopher Lievens, Christina Newman, Alan Kabat and optometry student Jacob Weberconducted this study at the Southern College of Optometry (SCO).
Subjects were examined by a masked investigator using a standard autorefractor (Nidek TonoRef II) followed by subjective refinement using a standard phoropter (monocular subjective refraction with binocular balance).
Subjective measurements were also conducted in the corresponding subjects using the VASR, a Voice Activ Subjective Refractor by Vmax Vision.
The VASR (Voice Activ Subjective Refractor) autorefraction utilizes wavefront aberrometry and its subjective refraction uses proprietary point spread function technology.
