OCULUS have announced that it has received FDA clearance for the Myopia Master. According to Oculus, “The quick, contactless measurement method for axial length is not influenced by the accommodation status of the eye and delivers reproducible results.”
VOPTICA - Leading Visual Adaptive Optics plans to announce the first and only inverted meniscus intraocular lens (ArtIOLs) to improve peripheral vision. It improves peripheral vision by mimicking the optics of the natural crystalline lens providing optimised field curvature and peripheral astigmatism. “Current intraocular lenses are designed to optimise image quality at the eye’s central retina, with not much attention to their off-axis performance,” Pablo Artal, CEO of Voptica. More than 1000 ArtIOLs have already been implanted with excellent results for the patients. Currently, this lens is available on the European market.

Aurion Biotech have announced their preliminary findings from its IOTA trail which was conducted in November 2020 and May 2021. 50 patients who have been diagnosed with corneal endothelial disease were treated with a transformational cell therapy procedure which were developed by Professor Shigeru Kinoshita and colleagues at Kyoto Prefecture University of Medicine.
The trail is the first corneal endothelial cell therapy procedure to be performed successfully outside of Japan. “This is a landmark moment for the treatment of corneal endothelial disease” Dr Edward J. Holland, Chief Medical Advisor at Aurion Biotech. In their first trial, 16 patients were treated from a single donor, whilst in the second trial, 34 patients were treated from a single donor. The procedure is minimally invasive for patients and accessible for surgeons. “The IOTA trial has given us invaluable clinical insights and confirms that this procedure can restore vision to patients suffering from blindness resulting from corneal endothelial disease” Greg Kunst, CEO Aurion Biotech. Patients will be monitored overtime in order to assess the safety and efficacy of the cell treatment therapy. Ref: https://eyewire.news/articles/aurion-biotech-announces-iota-cell-therapy-trial/ |
