In the experience of Dr Andrea Bedei, expert in refractive cataract surgery and head of the Ophthalmology O.U. at the Casa di Cura S. Camillo in Forte dei Marmi.

Dr Andrea Bedei, together with Drs Laura Castellini and Alessia Pietrelli, analysed the implant experience with SIFI's Mini WELL. This intraocular lens exploits multifocality related to the induction of an aberration......

The onset of diabetes mellitus (DM) results in multiple damage to the ocular surface, and there have been many studies published in the last 10 years dealing with the correlation. On the relationship between diabetes......

New frontiers for screening and follow-up therapy

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and is the leading cause of non-traumatic blindness in adults of working age......

Under physiological conditions, the eyeball is protected and covered by a community of non-pathogenic microorganisms, the ocular microbiome. However, in the event of penetrating, accidental, surgical or injection-associated trauma, the injury that is generated can facilitate the migration of these micro-organisms within the eye itself, with the following infectious outcome. Suffice it to say that up to 82% of the post-cataract endophthalmitis are caused by the same microbial communities that populate the eye, an estimate that underlines the need for know and monitor the distribution of these ocular micro-organisms and their possible antibiotic resistance.

Eye infections can vary in nature, complexity and severity. Bacterial conjunctivitis is probably the most common infection, while the most serious, but less common, is endophthalmitis, which, in the......

A brief review of molecules associated with one or more stages of DR.

A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of onset and the time sequence of the different pathogenic components of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular oedema (EMD) is one of the challenges currently......

Knowledge of the ocular surface microbiome can help the specialist recognise when risk factors for intraocular infection exist and in determining the most effective antibiotic prophylaxis. Diversity......

The importance of a sensitive and specific screening method is prompting several groups to identify biomarkers of diabetic retinopathy.

The most common ocular complication in people with diabetes and the leading cause of blindness in economically developed countries is diabetic retinopathy (DR). Early diagnosis and timely treatment are elements......

Cataract surgery has long been a refractive surgery of the crystalline lens.

The removal of the lens, which is more or less opaque, and the implantation of an artificial lens, allow the pre-operative refractive defect to be corrected, producing a post-surgical ametropia that improves the quality e......
