Refractive surgeries have evolved from the archaic incisional corneal procedures to the use of sophisticated femtosecond lasers and new-generation phakic intraocular lenses (pIOL) for surgical correction of refractive errors. The armamentarium of modern-day refractive surgery includes corneal-based procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis and keratorefractive lenticule extraction, as well as lensbased pIOL implantation. The current procedures are associated with a high index of efficacy and predictability, with enhanced safety and a significant reduction in sight-threatening complications. Patient counselling and case selection is imperative to achieve optimal visual outcomes and patient satisfaction. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of current refractive surgery procedures, with an emphasis on decision-making. Evolving frontiers in refractive surgeries like customised corneal ablation and presbyopia correcting pIOL are also discussed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) when ascending from near sea level to an altitude of 3874 m. The visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and biometric parameters of 20 normal subjects (40 eyes, controls) and 36 subjects who underwent corneal refractive surgery (35 eyes with SMILE and 36 eyes with LASIK) were examined in Chongqing (C, 500 m above sea level) and 7-10 days after a collective travel to Shigatse (S, 3874 m above sea level). SER and corneal thickness (CT) were choosed as main indicators of the stability of corneal refractive surgery at high altitude.

Introduction: Cataract is a leading cause of visual impairment globally and in Malaysia, with surgery being the definitive treatment. While intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) is now less commonly performed due to advancements in surgical techniques, it remains essential in specific cases, such as those with weak zonular support. This study aims to evaluate the incidence, clinical profiles, and visual outcomes of patients who underwent ICCE, with or without intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, at Hospital Melaka, Malaysia, over the past decade.

Purpose: To report a successful method of communication with deaf patients during topical anesthetic refractive surgery.
Observations: Nonverbal ways of communicating with deaf patients during cataract surgery have been reported. Here, we present a report of LASIK surgery for a deaf patient with topical anesthesia using similar communication methods.
Automated Detection of Filamentous Fungal Keratitis on Whole Slide Images of Potassium Hydroxide Smears with Multiple Instance Learning.

Purpose: The diagnosis of fungal keratitis using potassium hydroxide (KOH) smears of corneal scrapings enables initiation of the correct antimicrobial therapy at the point-of-care but requires time-consuming manual examination and expertise. This study evaluates the efficacy of a deep learning framework, dual stream multiple instance learning (DSMIL), in automating the analysis of whole slide imaging (WSI) of KOH smears for rapid and accurate detection of fungal infections.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
