Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor in pediatric patients. The incidence accounts for 1 in 20,000 live births. With the improvement of treatment alternatives the survival rate of these patients has improved in recent years, with up to 95% survival in the US. The use of multimodal investigations including ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and wide-field fundus photography with intravenous fluorescein angiography is crucial to identify retinoblastoma in pediatric patients.

Support: No funding was received in the publication of this article. Ensuring the health of the ocular surface before moving a patient with cataracts to the operating room is essential in achieving an optimal surgical outcome. An impaired ocular surface has an impact on preoperative planning for cataract surgery. Patients with cataracts with concomitant dry eye disease require special consideration to prevent worsening existing symptoms, as well as being properly informed of the risks of dry eye associated with cataract surgery. Dry eye disease may also be a symptom of Sjögren's disease, a systemic autoimmune disease that initially targets primarily the lacrimal and salivary glands, but in its later stages can become systemic, potentially resulting in B cell lymphomas. In an expert interview, Cynthia Matossian discusses her recent research into both dry eye disease and cataract surgery, as well as sharing her highlights from some of this year’s major ophthalmology conferences.

What do opioids have to do with ophthalmology? With recent developments in DNA research and gene modification, perhaps more than you might imagine. Naturally occurring opioids have been found in the DNA of certain milk cows, and it appears possible that the type of gene mutation that produces the opioid effect in milk and meat may also produce genetic abnormalities in the human genome, leading to hereditary ophthalmic syndromes, and diseases such as autism, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and other chronic diseases. The identification, isolation, and subsequent modification of these genes would appear to be a step toward the eradication of the diseases associated with them.

Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) increases the potential for problems during cataract surgery. Although most strongly associated with tamsulosin, cataract surgeons should be aware of other medications that may cause IFIS. Pharmacologic techniques such as intracameral phenylephrine or epinephrine can improve dilation and iris stability. Mechanical strategies include viscomydriasis and devices like iris hooks or the Malyugin Ring (MicroSurgical Technology, Inc., Redmond, WA, US). A careful history to elucidate patients’ risk for IFIS may be the most important step of all, as surgeon preparedness is probably the most significant way to lower risk of complications.

Modifications to the phacoemulsification technique have continually improved surgical outcomes (and therefore visual outcomes) for our patients. While much has been written about the role of advanced technology in intraocular lenses and how they have helped to improve outcomes, there is less in the literature about the systems we use to deliver those outcomes. Active fluidics and torsional ultrasound are two innovations that have improved our ability to provide even better postoperative results to our cataract patients. The following article will explain why these two advances on the CENTURION® Vision System (Alcon) have made that machine my preferred phacoemulsification system.
