- This study evaluated the impact of a new intracameral combination of mydriatics and anesthetic (ICMA) on cataract surgery outcomes at a hospital in France, comparing results before and after its implementation.
- A retrospective review of three patient groups showed that while visual outcomes and complications remained stable, the duration of surgery and patient turnover times significantly decreased after ICMA was introduced.
- The findings suggest that using ICMA as a standard procedure improves efficiency in cataract surgery without compromising patient safety or vision results.
Treatment of persistent ocular discomfort in patients with Cogan's epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD) is a challenge for ophthalmologists. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of a topical heparan sulfate mimetic polymer (HSMP) in reducing ocular discomfort in EBMD patients. This retrospective, noninterventional study included 22 consecutive patients in 3 tertiary ophthalmological units with spontaneous, recurrent, acute ocular pain, resistant to various topical lubricants.

Indeed, punctal plugs constitute a safe and effective tool to retain the natural tear film and prolong the effect of tear substitutes. A wide variety of plugs is available, differing in their design, location (punctal versus canalicular) and their resorbability.
