UNSTABLE CAPSULE
Glued posterior chamber IOLs and anterior chamber IOLs emerge as alternatives to sutured IOLs 29/04/2013 - Fibrin glue-fixated posterior chamber lenses and, in limited cases, anterior chamber IOLs, may be viable alternatives for treatment of conditions such as pseudoexfoliation and Marfan's syndrome that leave the lens capsule so unstable it will not support an intraocular lens (IOL)

POWER TO THE PUPIL
Launched officially in 2011, the iLearn e-learning platform is pushing ophthalmic education into new territory, with ESCRS members the direct beneficiaries
29/04/2013 - "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire," – William Butler Yeats.

PAEDIATRIC CATARACTS
When to operate and how to operate for best vision in the long-term
29/04/2013 - Paediatric cataracts present the ophthalmic surgeon with many compromises and dilemmas, but evidence has accumulated over the years that support certain strategies in the treatment of such eyes

MICROBEADS
Opportunity to control levels of therapeutic drug delivery will spur continued research
29/04/2013 - A key component for developing successful retinal degeneration drug treatments is the availability of efficient drug delivery systems.

GLAUCOMA SURGERY
Study examines filtration architecture, suprachoroidal outflow 10+ years after deep sclerectomy
29/04/2013 - Eight to 10 years after deep sclerectomy, patent decompression chambers in intrascleral space were maintained in most cases, and suprachoroidal aqueous flow was frequently detected on ultrasound examination

COMBINED PROCEDURE
Treating cataracts and corneal dystrophy in one procedure best reserved for eyes with more advanced corneal disease
29/04/2013 - Combining cataract surgery with endothelial keratoplasty may have a role in treating patients with advanced corneal pathology, but so long as the cornea is clear, cataract surgery is enough on its own.
