    Nucleus Disassembly Techniques in Cataract Surgery Including MiLoop

    Disassembling the lens nucleus is a crucial step during cataract surgery. Different techniques may be better suited to different cataract types, require more skill and ultimately make a difference in visual recovery and corneal health. Your Ophthalmology Against The Rule hosts take a detailed look at the MiLoop technique and discuss the pros and cons of various phaco options including femto laser assisted, divide and conquer, and chop. As you'll hear, just like with nuclear fission, with great power comes great responsibility when choosing an option to split the nucleus.

    Retinal Detachment Risk in Lens Surgery

    Ophthalmologists are performing cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery in younger patients. One of the major risks that eye care professionals need to inform these patients about is retinal detachment yet the evidence to quote from has been scarce and confusing. How age, axial length, gender, and laser capsuotomy, impact the risk needs to be taken into account. So, your OATR hosts, Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew take a deep dive into the topic to clarify what we should be considering and discussing with our patients before performing lens surgery.

    Antiseptics and the Eye

    Antiseptic preparation of the eye is an absolutely vital step of cataract surgery in order to prevent infection. This treatment must be balanced with minimising harm to the ocular surface. In true OATR style, we take a detailed look at the pros and cons of traditional iodine and more modern chlorhexidine antiseptic solutions. Getting these seemingly minor steps optimised helps to optimise outcomes for patients.

    Omega-3 Supplements for Treating Dry Eye

    Treating dry eye disease is difficult. Trying to treat dry eye disease based on evidence can seem even harder. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements have been on a rollercoaster of popularity in treating dry eye. Evidence appeared to swing from indicating huge benefit to being similar to placebo. Your hosts, Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew analyse the key studies to unravel all an optometrist or ophthalmologist needs to know about Omega-3 supplements to treat dry eye patients optimally. All this, along with the OATR entertainment you know and love.

    Residual Astigmatism

    OATR is back for 2021 and we are kicking things off in style with everyone's favourite topic - astigmatism! There are a lot of rumours, myths and arguments around the topic of residual astigmatism after cataract surgery. Some say it gives a depth of focus; that it may be functionally beneficial; or that you can't do much about it as you should not flip the axis. Well your trusty OATR hosts, Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew are here to consider the evidence and see whether we need to rid the world of residual astigmatism. Listen in to hear the verdict and learn some tips to improve astigmatic outcomes.

    Myopia Progression - The evidence for treatment

    Myopia progression is a major concern in the worlds of optometry, ophthalmology and the world in general with a predicted 5 billion people being myopic by 2050. The concern is not just needing glasses, but retinal detachment, myopic macula degeneration and blindness. The evidence for how to slow down myopia progression, especially around atropine dosing has been murky. So your hosts Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew clear up the evidence and discuss why treatment is so important.
