Cataract Surgery Devices have significantly improved over the years with rising emphasis on the safety of the patient and accuracy of the surgery

Cataract surgery involves replacing the natural lens of the eye with an intraocular lens.

                                                          Cataract Surgery Devices


Cataract surgery involves replacing the natural lens of the eye with an intraocular lens. The condition causes a cloudy vision. The natural lens of the eye has become opaque. In order to correct this problem, a person may need this procedure. The surgery is commonly known as a lens replacement. Although it is not a traumatic procedure, it can be painful and requires several sessions. However, it is not the only option for this condition.


A high-frequency ultrasound device is used during cataract surgery. The surgeon will remove the lens with the use of a suction device. The surgery can be done on the day of the procedure. A temporary prescription eye shield will help to recover faster. After the procedure, the patient will still need to wear glasses or contacts. One can even start a new activity right after the surgery. The process of recovery varies depending on the specific needs and the extent of the cataract. There are many different types of cataract surgery devices. These devices help the surgeons in performing the procedure.


Each cataract surgery device has its own pros and cons. Using one type of device may not be a good choice for another patient. There are several different types of eye surgery devices, so choosing the right one is important. Among the types of devices, the most common is phacoemulsification equipment. In addition to the phacoemulsification equipment, the other two are intraocular lenses. In the U.S., these devices are the most popular type. It is also important to know that there are several types of intraocular lenses available in the market. In the European continent, there are many different types of devices available for the procedure. Recently, in July 2021, Johnson & Johnson Vision introduced VERITAS Vision System, next-generation phacoemulsification (phaco) system, for use in cataract surgery.

                                                                                                         Label-Free Array Systems Label-free array systems are widely used in the drug discovery process by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. A system works on principle of optical interferometry, impedance-based assays, and refractive index to identify and validate new molecules as the possible drug candidates. Moreover, the system helps to reduce the cost and time for drug identification and validation process. In the past few years, label-free array systems have taken center stage as an effective research tool in all major clinical drug discovery processes. Label-free array systems comprises two types of biosensors, namely optical and impedance-based biosensors, including techniques such as bio-layer interferometry, isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, and others. Of which, surface plasmon resonance is the most commonly used technique. The main advantag

Intraocular Lens; a Lens Implanted In the Eye as Part of a Treatment for Cataracts

Image
                                    Intraocular Lens An intraocular lens (or IOL) is a tiny, artificial lens that replaces the natural lens of the eye through cataract surgery to restore both near and distant vision. To treat cataracts, the cloudy lens is surgically removed and replaced with an IOL to restore vision (both near and distant). A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. For people who have cataracts, looking through a cloudy lens is like looking through a frosty or foggy window. Cataracts occur as a natural part of the aging and are the leading cause of blindness in people over 60. According to the National Eye Institute, the number of people in the United States with cataract is expected to double from 24.4 million to about 50 million by 2050. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of cataract and growing geriatric population worldwide, the demand for intraocular lens is also increasing with a rapid pace. For instance, in August 2019, Alcon announced t
