Read more   Corneo-scleral topography allows for precise fitting The sMap3D is a corneal topographer leading scleral lens innovation and technology by fitting scleral lenses with 360-degree coverage and 10-micron precision. It stitches together three images – up gaze, straight gaze, and down gaze – to maximize scleral coverage and provide a complete scleral elevation map. After evaluation, ODs can order custom designed lenses. The sMap3Ds software is designed to allow virtual fitting and adjustments can be made to provide the best fit, prior to ordering. Read on ADVERTISEMENT   5 exam findings that should spur a neuro referral ODs are in an ideal position to provide both primary care and neuro rehabilitation to patients with a traumatic brain injury (A/TBI). There are five key exam findings that indicate when a patient would benefit from referral to a neuro-optometrist, including: history of A/TBI, blurred vision, visual field defects, unusual eye movement and strabismus. Read more   New guidelines in OSD evaluation before surgery ASCRS recently published guidelines for evaluating patients for ocular surface disease prior to considering cataract surgery. The proposed algorithm highlights the necessity of completely addressing any ocular surface dysfunction preoperatively and recommends a protocol for determining if a patient’s ocular surface is prepared for surgery.
