Importance: Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery has gained significant traction in recent years. This study evaluates the first- and second-generation trabecular micro-bypass stents "iStent" and "iStent inject".
Background: To evaluate and compare the effect of a single iStent and double iStent inject in primary open angle glaucoma.
Background: To investigate visual outcomes following cataract surgery in patients who were implanted monocularly with an extended range of focus IC-8 IOL.
Methods: A multicentre, non-randomised, retrospective case series of 126 consecutive patients implanted with the IC-8 IOL. Data were collected and pooled from six centres across Australia.
Purpose: To investigate the intraoperative performance and the ultrastructural features of anterior capsulotomy performed with the improved Zepto precision pulse capsulotomy (PPC) device.
Setting: Launceston Eye Institute, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.
Design: Prospective, consecutive case series.
Purpose: To assess the clinical safety and performance of a new thermal capsulotomy device in patients having cataract surgery.
Setting: Launceston Eye Institute, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.
Design: Prospective case series.
Purpose: To evaluate the variation in the best fit sphere radius (BFSR) of curvature on a Scheimpflug corneal tomographer as a test to detect keratoconus progression.
Methods: In this retrospective, comparative, case-control study, two groups of eyes with stable or progressive keratoconus were identified based on keratometric, refractive, and visual acuity criteria. Two sequential scans were used to assess the variation in topometric variables.
Aim: To evaluate by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) the medium-term (mean duration 3.2 years) anatomical changes in the anterior chamber angle (ACA) after laser peripheral iridoplasty.
Materials And Methods: This is a longitudinal, retrospective case series of 31 eyes of 31 patients with primary angle-closure suspicion, primary angle closure (PAC), or primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) who underwent laser peripheral iridoplasty.
Purpose: To investigate the ultrastructural features of anterior capsulotomy performed with a thermal device, the precision pulse capsulotomy (PPC).
Design: Prospective, multicenter case series.
Participants: Consecutive patients undergoing capsulotomy with the PPC device.
Purpose: To investigate ocular bacterial count before and after antisepsis with aqueous chlorhexidine (AC) or povidone-iodine (PI) and to assess discomfort with each agent.
Methods: Bacterial swabs were taken from participants' eyes before and after antisepsis. These underwent microscopy, culture, and sensitivity testing.

Since its introduction in 2009 femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) has promised to revolutionize cataract surgery. Despite its promise, the assessment of FLACS's perceived benefits has proven to be far more complicated than initially might have been thought. Most studies to date have not provided validation of FLACS technology as a clinically significant advancement on our current techniques.
