Objective: Expert consensus was sought on VYC-12L injection technique and primary treatment target areas.
Methods: A multinational group of aesthetic medicine clinicians (n = 128) attended product training and each identified ~10 patients for VYC-12L.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) and the morphology of the corneal endothelium after cataract extraction in Caucasian male patients exposed to the α-1a adrenergic receptor antagonist tamsulosin.
Methods: In a clinical prospective study, 23 male patients (23 eyes) treated with tamsulosin due to benign prostatic hyperplasia and 25 male patients (25 eyes) with no tamsulosin treatment had cataract surgery. The divide-and-conquer technique was used with the Infinity OZil(®) machine.
