University of Waterloo’s 3D-Printing Method Makes Custom Contact Lenses in 20 Minutes
No more trial-and-error fittings? Waterloo’s 3D printer designs a bespoke lens on the spot. One clinic visit, one custom lens. That may be the near future for specialty contact lens fitting. Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a 3D-printing platform that produces patient-specific rigid contact lenses in about 20 minutes, potentially compressing a...

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...

Vitamin D and Myopia: A Marker, Not a Mechanism?
Vitamin D and myopia have long shared an intriguing association. One review asks whether the nutrient deserves the credit—or the sunlight does. Clinicians fielding questions about diet and supplements in myopia management may want to pump the brakes on vitamin D. A new narrative review in the Journal of Clinical Medicine from researchers at the...

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...

COVID Restrictions Linked to Increased Astigmatism in Schoolchildren, Study Finds
Myopia stole the pandemic spotlight, but data suggests corneal astigmatism was quietly climbing too. Most pandemic-era pediatric eye discussions centered on myopia progression. Astigmatism, it turns out, had its own agenda. A 2025 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology reported increased rates of refractive and corneal astigmatism among schoolchildren following COVID-19 restrictions, with changes becoming more...

Cataract
The Rise of Smart IOLs
When intraocular lenses learn to adapt From static implants to responsive optics, cataract surgery is entering an era where vision doesn’t just get replaced—it gets refined. For decades, cataract surgery has rested on a quiet gamble. Surgeons measure, calculate and plan with extraordinary precision. Patients trust that a few millimeters of acrylic placed inside the...No entries were found for this taxonomy term.
