Cataract disease is highly treatable and one simple step toward extending patients’ vision health is through comprehensive, annual eye examinations. Optos’ core devices can image through cataracts 85% of the time. The UWF view of an optomap® image can be captured through hazy media where white light has difficulty penetrating, revealing problematic retinal issues prior to surgery. Visit our blog to read more on the importance of utilizing UWF imaging to identify risks prior to surgery as well as the importance of educating your patients on the severity and commonality of cataract disease. https://lnkd.in/exrGjskb #optos #optomap #UWF #cataract

Our newest publication indicates promising outcomes for immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS). This contributes to the growing literature in support of the efficacy and safety of ISBCS as an approach to treating visually significant cataracts. It was a pleasure to be a part of this research, helping to inform the efficiency of treatment for patients with cataracts.

A new technique for accessing the mitral valve via the left anterior minithoracotomy has been developed for patients requiring both mitral valve surgery and coronary artery bypass grafting. From October 2020 to September 2022, 24 patients underwent this procedure, which involved specialized exposure maneuvers and conventional surgical techniques. #CABG #LeftAnteriorThoracotomy #MinimallyInvasive #MitralValve

Immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) has numerous benefits. The most feared complication is bilateral simultaneous postoperative endophthalmitis (BSPOE), which is extremely rare. In JAMA Ophthalmology, we present the first ever recorded outbreak of BSPOE after ISBCS. Although this tragic event had severe consequences in two eyes, all patients recovered good visual function in at least one eye. A clear breach of sterility or patient selection recommendations has characterized almost all known cases of BSPOE. Fortunately, the risk of getting BSPOE after ISBCS is still lower than dying in a car crash after driving 100 meters in the USA. In conclusion, ISBCS is safe, but strict adherence to guidelines should always be followed.

Read our latest blog here: Few patients are aware that heart bypass by keyhole surgery for double triple or even quadruple bypass is possible. Traditionally, this involved a substantial breastbone incision, known as sternotomy, with a healing process lasting around three months, impacting recovery.

Preoperative laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) has approximately the same effect on outcomes for patients undergoing Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) as does intraoperative surgical peripheral iridectomy (SPI), according to a study published in Cornea : The Journal of Cornea and External Diseases (The Cornea Society). However, patients who receive preoperative LPI appear to have shorter DMEK surgery duration.
