Business and Innovation

Here, we recognize a year’s worth of innovation. Apps, IOLs, imagers, lasers, devices and drugs – the latest and greatest are all here. But which one came out on top this year?

Showcasing the greatest ophthalmic advances of the year

The FDA’s plans for creating pre-approved medical device development tools could accelerate the development and approval of many medical devices – particularly premium IOLs

A new ocular biometer automates IOL selection and offers an exciting alternative to sometimes unpredictable IOL power formulae

Ophthalmic surgery that incorporates robotic assistance holds the promise of surgeries that are “better than the best of humans”

VR headsets could identify those with glaucoma at the greatest risk of falls

Inexpensive, high-resolution 3D printouts of orbital prosections can help ophthalmology trainees revisit basic anatomy

Inexpensive yet excellent virtual reality headsets are here – and are about to profoundly transform ophthalmology.

Remember Allergan’s eyeing-up of Salix

Are flexible, battery- and wire-less, light-sensitive nanotube films the future of retinal implants?
