STERiJECT: FDA-cleared needle for precise intravitreal injections

In ophthalmology, fractions of a millimeter make all the difference. That’s where STERiJECT™, the FDA-cleared low-dead-space needle from TSK Laboratory, in collaboration with ACollaboratory America Inc., steps in by cutting waste, minimizing trauma and maximizing precision for intravitreal injections. From its ultra-sharp triple-bevel tip to its dolphin-nose glue dome, every detail is engineered for retinal specialists who demand control down to the microliter. Now cleared and clinic-ready, STERiJECT™ Ophthalmic Low Dead Space Needle brings precision you can feel. —Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gCGp-St3 —See it up close at Booth #1024 at AAO 2025 This content is intended exclusively for healthcare professionals and eye care practitioners.

Exciting news in #RefractiveSurgery: A recent study, published in Ophthalmology, compared clinical outcomes with Alcon’s wavelight plus automated, personalized , #RayTracing-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (#LASIK) vs. #WavefrontOptimized LASIK. Read the full publication here: https://bit.ly/46uYLS5 This Investigator-Initiated Trial found that wavelight plus: ✅ Had high safety and efficacy indices ✅ Demonstrated comparable visual acuity outcomes, with 100% of wavelight plus eyes achieving uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/20 or better vs. 93.3% with wavefront-optimized eyes ✅ Achieved non-inferior refractive outcomes ✅ Delivered slightly higher accuracy in manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), with 100% of wavelight plus eyes achieving MRSE within ±0.50 D vs. 90% of wavefront-optimized eyes (p < 0.001) Moreover, total ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs) at 6 mm pupil were significantly lower in wavelight® plus eyes (0.32 ± 0.10 μm) vs. wavefront-optimized eyes (0.42 ± 0.11 μm; p < 0.001). These results are particularly significant because wavelight plus relies on objective measurements from a single diagnostic device. From simplified pre-op exams and reduced data-entry errors to consistent visual outcomes, the implications for the future of personalized LASIK planning are numerous. #LaserVisionCorrection #Ophthalmology #AlconInnovation

Consistency isn’t optional in lens tinting and UV coatings.  The tec5USA TFM-1 LensColor Analyzer makes it possible to:  ✔ Measure color & UV values in real time  ✔ Comply with global standards (ISO, ANSI)  ✔ Eliminate variability across batches  Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eauj8zmM) #LensManufacturing #QualityControl #Spectroscopy #UVCoating #Ophthalmic #Eyewear American Academy of Ophthalmology #VisionExpoWest Ophthalmology Times Spectroscopy Media Photonics Spectra Spectrum CL

Insights into atropine usage - A pair of studies, conducted in Taiwan and China, indicate that red light therapy could serve as an effective and safe alternative to atropine via Ophthalmology Times Europe https://lnkd.in/enu3TjuA

When gold-standard tools aren’t always available, innovation leads the way. Dr. Michael Mikhail, vitreoretinal surgeon at Kabgayi Eye Unit (KEU), Rwanda, shares how a scleral tunnel + needle levitation technique offers a safer, cost-effective approach to managing dropped dense crystalline lenses in low-resource settings. 🌍 A must-read on practical ingenuity in ophthalmology. 👉 Full article: https://ow.ly/M6xc50X2QrK #Ophthalmology #EyeCare #MedicalInnovation #GlobalHealth

Even slight inconsistencies in lens tinting and UV coatings can erode customer trust. That’s why leading manufacturers use real-time solutions like the TFM-1 LensColor Analyzer to catch defects before they leave the lab.  ✅ ISO & ANSI compliant  ✅ 280–780 nm spectral analysis  ✅ Reliable, repeatable QC  Yes, we can provide that.

🔬 Collagen Implant for Presbyopia – A Biological Solution Collagen is widely used in ophthalmology, not only in keratoconus but also as a novel option for presbyopia correction. By reshaping and placing a 20-micron-thin collagen layer (thinner than a human hair) into the central cornea, we can enhance near vision – almost like adding a biological contact lens. ✨ Key features: • Minimally invasive: performed through a small stromal pocket under topical anesthesia. • Reversible: nothing is removed from the eye, only a natural tissue is added – and it can be taken out if needed. • Preserves distance vision: due to its unique surface structure, the impact on distance vision is minimal. • Scientifically proven: long-term safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in peer-reviewed publications. This technique provides a safe, biological, and reversible approach to improve near vision, offering patients a new option beyond glasses or synthetic implants.
