Technological advances in ophthalmology are becoming more and more important. New imaging instruments and software analysis allow ultra-wide field visualization of the retina non-invasively. This creates important clinical advantages for an aging population affected by chronic pathologies such as cataract, age related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. In particular, it will be possible to organize screening programs and an individualized approach and follow up of the patients. While new retinal implants are under development a new drug is now available for the treatment of corneal scars.

Abstract

Technological advances in ophthalmology are becoming more and more important. New imaging instruments and software analysis allow ultra-wide field visualization of the retina non-invasively. This creates important clinical advantages for an aging population affected by chronic pathologies such as cataract, age related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. In particular, it will be possible to organize screening programs and an individualized approach and follow up of the patients. While new retinal implants are under development a new drug is now available for the treatment of corneal scars.
