A unique innovation in the management of keratoconus, CAIRS, the brainchild of Dr.Soosan Jacob is revolutionising its management and gaining popularity the world over. INTACS, with synthetic segments is fraught with disadvantages such as extrusion, migration of segments, corneal melt etc. and managing these, become an even greater challenge. To overcome this, CAIRS uses corneal stromal segments harvested from donor corneas. This video takes you through the advantages and technique of performing CAIRS and the many modifications and innovations that make this procedure truly one of a kind !!
Does one-size-fit all ? Of course not ! And the same applies to our eyes as well. CAIRS, a novel in-house technique in the management of keratoconus, has been further refined with customisation. Customised CAIRS, as the name implies, caters to each eye individually, by customisation of the segments, which are tailor made according to the individual's corneal topography. Bring Femtolaser into the picture and we have more accurately crafted CAIRS segments ! Let us take you through this innovation and its many advantages in this video.
Ophthalmology, being an equipment dependent speciality, is at the centre of constant technological advancements and upgradation. Novel Ophthalmic Analyzer ( NOA ) is our contribution to this armamentarium. It combines spectral domain OCT and optical biometry to give high resolution retinal imaging along with parameters such as ACD, axial length, lens thickness, corneal thickness etc. that help in IOL power calculation. Needless to say it saves time and resources !! Watch this video to know more about NOA .
High corneal astigmatism and higher order aberrations hampering your patient's quality of vision ?!! Pinhole pupilloplasty ( PPP ) to your rescue ! Based on pin hole optics, that cuts off peripheral rays and allows only the central rays of light to pass through, PPP can effectively improve the quality of vision in such patients. In some cases, PPP can even obviate the need for a keratoplasty !! This video explains the principle and indications for a PPP, showing you how a cost effective, equipment independent procedure can significantly enhance the patients' quality of vision.
Higher order aberrations ( HOA ) are optical irregularities of the eye that affect the quality of the retinal image. In contrast to lower order aberrations, they cannot be corrected by conventional spectacles or contact lenses. HOA's are perceived by patients as dysphotopsia, glare and reduction in contrast sensitivity. Cornea accounts for approximately 90% of optical aberrations. Watch this fascinating video to learn about pinhole optics and how the novel technique of pin hole pupilloplasty (PPP) can help improve the quality of vision in patients with highly aberrated corneas such as post RK, post corneal transplantation, and scarred corneas, sometimes even bypassing the need for an OPK !!! Sounds unbelievable right ?!!! But it is possible and this video will tell you how !!
Perimetry is an indispensable tool in the management of glaucoma, various neurological and neuro-ophthalmological conditions. Technological advancements such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence are now becoming a part of our lives and Ophthalmology cannot be far behind in adopting these techologies. We bring to you a novel autoperimeter that uses virtual reality and is compararable to the Humphrey's field analyser. HFA has the disadvantage of being an in-clinic procedure whereas this autoperimeter is portable and can be used in the field. This video brings to you the operation and advantages of this innovative equipment.
