WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — Minimizing residual sphere and cylinder is one method of ensuring patient satisfaction after refractive cataract surgery, according to a speaker.
“The major outcome in [refractive] cataract surgery is really the patient’s perception of outcome,” Julie Schallhorn, MD, said at Hawaiian Eye 2026. “It’s not what you measure them at or their postoperative refraction. It’s how happy they are. That comes down to a very existential question: What makes people happy?”
Schallhorn said patients are twice as likely to be unhappy in a monofocal lens if they have 0.5 D of residual sphere

WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — At Orthopedics Today Hawaii, Robert L. Barrack, MD, spoke about advancements in technology and instrumentation for robotic-assisted knee replacement.
“We are able to customize anatomy, alignment, ligament balance and kinematics,” Barrack, the Charles F. and Joanne Knight professor of orthopaedic surgery, Division of Joint Preservation, Reconstruction and Replacement at Washington University Orthopedics, told Healio. “Our old instruments were good, but the new technology available to us is really going to be the future of knee replacement — to allow us to fine tune the

WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — Real-world, 12-month results demonstrated efficacy, safety and durability for faricimab as a treatment for retinal vein occlusion, according to a speaker at Retina 2026.
In light of faricimab’s approval for retinal vein occlusion in 2023, its widespread adoption has yielded opportunities to investigate its real-world impact on larger patient populations, Durga Borkar, MD, MMCi, said during a presentation.
“FARETINA-RVO is a retrospective, real-world study that leverages data from the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s IRIS registry,” Borkar said. “To be included in this

A recall was ordered for approximately 13,720 lb of ready-to-eat grilled chicken breast that may have been contaminated with Listeria, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Jan. 16.
A USDA spokesperson told Healio on Tuesday there are no confirmed illnesses linked to the potentially tainted chicken and that no outbreak is expected.
Suzanna's Kitchen, headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, recalled chicken products shipped to distribution centers for food service sales in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio.

InSightVR is a virtual reality tool that shows patients their IOL options before cataract surgery and helps them understand what their vision will look like after IOL implantation. With the device, Greenwood said, patients no longer have to rely on the surgeon’s words to describe vision; instead, they can see it with their own eyes.
Additionally, the device empowers staff to talk with patients about lens options and

Higher consumption of widely used food preservatives increased the risk for type 2 diabetes, according to a French study published in Nature Communications.
The data “call for a re-evaluation of the risk/benefit balance of these food additive preservatives by the authorities in charge for better consumer protection,” Mathilde Touvier, PhD, a research professor at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research and the study’s senior author, told Healio.
The findings from the study, the first in the world to investigate associations between a wide range of food preservatives and

IV iron dextran is the most cost-effective treatment for women with iron deficiency anemia and heavy menstrual bleeding, according to results of a modeling study.
The study findings support expanding access to IV iron and underscore the need to eliminate barriers that delay its use, researchers concluded.
“This is the first evidence on a population level of the value of a one-time IV iron infusion for women with heavy menstrual bleeding,” first author Daniel Wang, fourth-year medical student at Yale School of Medicine, told Healio. “As we were building our model, we hypothesized that IV iron

A renewed focus on glaucoma comes with each new year, as January is Glaucoma Awareness Month.
Glaucoma has been estimated to affect more than 4 million U.S. adults, silently progressing without symptoms and potentially leading to blindness, according to the Glaucoma Research Foundation. A comprehensive eye exam can detect it early and allow for treatment to slow progression, but there is no cure.
“That’s why access to affordable quality eye care is essential for everyone,” Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness, said in a press release.
