Alcon & RxSight Team Up to Bring Light-Adjustable Tech to Presbyopia-Correcting IOLs
Presbyopia-correcting IOLs are getting a potential upgrade: less prediction, more personalization after surgery. Cataract surgeons have gotten remarkably good at hitting their target refraction, but “remarkably good” still isn’t “perfect,” and a fraction of a diopter can be the difference between a delighted patient and a disappointed one. Alcon (Geneva, Switzerland) and RxSight (California, USA)...

Expert Panel Develops First Consensus-Based Dysphotopsia Classification System
Halos, glare and shadows have long defied standard reporting. A new framework aims to change that. Ophthalmology has long had reliable tools for measuring what patients can see. Measuring how well they can tolerate what they see after surgery has been another matter. A new consensus study published in Ophthalmology Glaucoma introduces the first standardized...

The Curable Crisis
Closing the gap between possibility and reality Cataract surgery is one of medicine’s fastest, most cost-effective fixes. So why is progress in Africa crawling? Emma Jolley unpacks the real bottlenecks: workforce shortages, patchy systems and policy gaps that keep a curable condition firmly out of reach. Emma Jolley (United Kingdom) doesn’t mince words when asked...

Calling of a Global Surgeon
Two decades into a textbook academic career, one glaucoma surgeon steps off the well-lit stage—and into the surgical unknown—where dense cataracts, scarce resources and zero safety nets redefine what it means to operate. The result? Sharper skills, stripped-back dogma and a reminder that the real gold standard isn’t fancy tech—it’s impact. For nearly two decades,...

Operation Miracle
The price of sight and the politics of global eye care High-volume cataract, low-cost access and a not-so-neutral supply chain. When surgery scales across borders, so does the agenda. Outside a clinic near Havana, Dr. Robert Huish (Canada) struck up a conversation with a small group of taxi drivers. They had come from St. Lucia,...

Slow Lane, Long Game
How Japan became the world’s ICL powerhouseWhile the rest of the world was busy chasing the next big thing in refractive surgery, Japan quietly built a decades-long evidence base, invented safer procedures and started rewriting the global rulebook. Here’s how patience became a superpower. At a time when new vision correction technologies tend to spread...

Study Explores Multifocal Contact Lenses for Preoperative Premium IOL Simulation
Choosing a premium IOL involves a leap of faith. Researchers are now exploring whether contact lenses can shrink the jump. Surgeons have long had to ask patients to buy into a visual experience sight unseen. A small but intriguing study published in Contact Lens and Anterior Eye suggests that may not always be necessary—at least...

First Mixed Reality Cataract Surgery Performed Using Apple Vision Pro
Vision Pro and ScopeXR merge live surgery, data streams and remote collaboration in one view. Apple’s Vision Pro headset has found a new operating theater. Dr. Eric Rosenberg (USA) has performed the first reported mixed reality cataract surgery using the device, with the surgical field streamed directly into the headset during a live procedure.
