Our latest research on Angles Alpha and Kappa in myopic and hyperopic patients is now published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery! This is the largest and most comprehensive study to date exploring the distribution of Angle Alpha and its relationship to Angle Kappa.

Grateful to present at the American Ophthalmological Society in Naples, FL! Our poster focused on detecting corneal opacities on OCT using a cornea model accounting for incidence angle and depth-dependent reflectance. This enables objective opacity mapping and aids PTK planning.

Our deep learning study published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery identifies the nature of previous keratorefractive surgery performed based on OCT image analysis whether myopic or hyperopic, femtosecond laser or microkeratome, and KLEx, LASIK, or PRK.

Just wrapped up an incredible weekend in DC at the World Cornea Congress! Honored to present our latest work bridging AI and microscopy — from automating KOH prep interpretation to image enhancement using generative AI. More to come.

Introducing TSPI, our AI index that analyzes localized corneal thickness changes to differentiate between keratoconus, suspect, and normal eyes on the Galilei @Ziemergroup. Kudos to @DoctorAwwad and @BasselHammoudMD for their pivotal contributions.

Can Keratoconus be diagnosed solely based on pachymetry data? The full video is finally here! Watch the journey that led us to developing the Thickness Speed Progression Index, from concept to clinical application on the Galilei tomographer, to publication in @AJOphthalmology

Can early Keratoconus be diagnosed purely based on pachymetry maps? The answer is yes! The Thickness Speed Progression Index (TSPI) is now available on the Ziemer Galilei platform and has just been published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology as an open-access article!

Check out our 1-year All-FemtoCAIRS results published in the journal “Cornea”, with refractive & segmental tomography evaluation. All CAIRS segments were created using the LDV Z8 dedicated CAIRS software which we helped design from the ground up with Fabian Mueller @Ziemergroup.

CAIRS offer clinical and tomographic outcomes equivalent, if not superior, to synthetic ICRS when performed using Dr. Awwad’s technique. 👇 Surgeons experienced with ICRS can readily apply their expertise to CAIRS.

The wait is finally over! Our highly anticipated study comparing CAIRS and synthetic ICRS, matched case by case, has just been published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery! Cases involving highly advanced conditions, where ICRS aren’t viable but CAIRS may be, were excluded.

Check out our latest study 👇 The combination of CXL with WG-transPRK, without the use of MMC, does not lead to a higher incidence of haze compared to A-CXL alone. This approach results in more substantial improvements in visual acuity, topography, and aberrometry measurements.
