What's the Big Deal
Analysis of: FDA Approves Bifocal LASIK Surgery (www.medpagetoday.com)
This procedure appears to be nothing new - just a variation on a theme.  Much like Anterior Stromal Ablation is just PRK.
Analysis of: FDA Approves Bifocal LASIK Surgery (www.medpagetoday.com)
This article is suggesting that it is a new procedure to allow a bifocal correction during lasik.  The Bifocal Lasik undercorrects nearsightedness in one eye, essentially monovision.  Monovision Lasik has been used for years to allow patients the ability to see distance and near without glasses,...
Analysis of: Doctors, retailers square off (www.chicagotribune.com)
Medicine is now experiencing what other healthcare areas such as optometry have faced for years-patients seeking alternate routes for delivery of care. Optometry has faced this battle on two sides: first, gaining ground as states have broadened therapeutic laws allowing OD's to treat more ocular conditions;...
Analysis of: CDC warns about contact lens solution (news.yahoo.com)
This is not the same as the Fusarium fungal outbreak seen last year in B&L Renu with Mositureloc product.  This  outbreak is with an Amoeba which is commonly found in water.  The issue with Complete is that it does not successfully disinfect  and kill off this...
Analysis of: CDC warns about contact lens solution (news.yahoo.com)
No, this is an entirely different outbreak.  The formulation is clearly at fault.  The problem is not isolated with Complete Moisture Plus.
Analysis of: Fish and Vitamin D Linked to Lower Risk of Macular Degeneration (www.medpagetoday.com)
This article is important in that although we presently have ocular vitamins implicated in the  the retardation of AMD they do not currently include omega 3 fatty acids or Vitamin D.  At this point the only treatments available for dry AMD is based on the first ARED study- which implicated...

Analysis of: Jury finds CIBA Vision falsely advertised O2OPTIX contact lenses (www.osnsupersite.com)
One company suing another in the eye industry is commonplace these days.  Fines are paid and life goes on.  Will this lawsuit affect the sales or market share of either of these companies now, or in the long-term?  Not significantly, on both accounts.

Analysis of: Bausch & Lomb Initiates Limited Voluntary Recall of Twelve Lots of ReNu MultiPlus® Solution Due to Potential for Shortened Shelf Life (www.bausch.com)
So Bausch and Lomb is involved in yet another recall.  At least Bausch and Lomb learned a lesson from the big MoisturLoc® mess.  Pulling the affected solution lots quickly and voluntarily was the smartest thing they could have done.  But I have to ask, 'Where is the quality...

Analysis of: Better Vision Without Looking Your Age (www.nytimes.com)
As the number of presbyopic patients, so does the demand for multifocal vision correction for these patients.  Currently, the two main 'non-spectacle' options are multifocal contact lenses and accommodative IOL's.  With the accommodative IOL industry growing, will it make a significant...

Analysis of: Bifocal RGP contact lenses produce better contrast visual acuity over soft lenses, study finds (www.osnsupersite.com)
Studies come out every day about contact lenses, spectacle lenses, eye medications, etc.  Most of these studies though must be ingested with a grain of salt.  The bifocal RGP study that this article discusses is one of those.  For many reasons, I don't think that it...
