In this Expert Pearl, Prof. Andrzej Grzybowski explores why cataract surgery in high myopia should be approached as more than a routine procedure. From complex biometry and IOL selection to retinal risk and patient expectations, he outlines the key considerations needed to optimise outcomes in this challenging patient population.
At EURETINA 2025 in Paris, Dr David Eichenbaum presented late-breaking data on the use of structural biomarkers to predict exudative AMD in geographic atrophy (GA). Using real-world datasets and AI-powered analysis via the EvidenceEngine platform, his research demonstrates how multimodal imaging and validated biomarkers can deliver rapid, scalable insights into disease progression. In this Q&A, Dr Eichenbaum shares his perspectives on: How AI-based approaches compare with traditional clinical trial methods The key biomarkers linked to increased exudation risk in GA The potential for AI-driven biomarker research to transform retinal disease management and future clinical research
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are central to restoring vision after cataract surgery, but selecting the right lens in complex eyes requires precision, experience and the correct tools. In this Q&A, Professor Andrzej Grzybowski shares his expert practice pearls on achieving the best possible refractive outcomes in challenging cases.
The EURETINA 2024 Congress, held in Barcelona from September 19-22, brought together leading experts in ophthalmology to share the latest research and innovative treatments for retinal diseases. Among the highlights were several late-breaking abstracts that showcased promising advances in therapeutics for conditions such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). These studies not only demonstrated the efficacy and safety of novel treatment options but also addressed critical unmet needs in reducing patient burden and improving long-term outcomes.
