There is a dental practice in Melbourne, Florida. It saved the biometric records from the previous 30 years. The records mostly covered measurements of tooth contact, jaw movement, joint vibration, muscle activity and chewing. These records provide insight into how dental measurements were repeatedly recorded during patient care and how this can assist in future […]

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Patients with dry eye disease who used Tryptyr reported significantly improved quality of life in addition to reduced dry eye symptoms, according to data presented at Academy 2026.
Tryptyr (acoltremon ophthalmic solution 0.003%, Alcon), approved by the FDA in 2025, is an eye drop designed to treat dry eye disease by stimulating natural tear production.
“Now that the drug is on the market, we wanted to see how it actually performed in the real world,” Andrew D. Pucker, OD, PhD, FAAO, of Eminent Ophthalmic Services in Georgia, told Healio. “What did patients experience after

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Fitting patients with contact lenses may be more profitable to an optometric practice than prescribing spectacles alone, according to a report from the Contact Lens Institute.
The institute released the full results of this study at Academy 2026.
“A lot of practitioners worry about whether it’s worth fitting contact lenses. I think these data prove that it is,” Lyndon Jones, BSc, PhD, DSc, FCAHS, FCOptom, DipCLP, DipOrth, FAAO, FIACLE, FBCLA, director of the Centre for Ocular Research & Education at the University of Waterloo, told Healio.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Prostaglandin analogs for the treatment of glaucoma may have effects on the cornea that lead to lower IOP measurements, potentially impacting management of the disease, according to data presented at Academy 2026.
“For a long time, we have known that the biomechanics of the cornea — how it responds to forces — can affect the accuracy of intraocular pressure measurements,” study author Daniel Epshtein, OD, FAAO, associate clinical professor at SUNY College of Optometry, told Healio. “Though rarely considered in day-to-day clinic, research has also shown that chronic

Below knee amputation is associated with substantial postoperative complications, including short- and long-term mortality risks, according to data presented at the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Annual Meeting.
“This study has its limitations, but it emphasizes the importance of comprehensive counseling and coordinated care for these patients and the surgeries themselves,” Samuel A. Florentino, MD, an orthopedic surgery resident at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio, told Healio. “[Below knee amputation] is hard for patients, and we want to be able to identify these risk

Growing up, Naomi Lawrence-Reid, MD, always knew she wanted to be a doctor.
Her career as a physician looks different from what she pictured as a medical student, but she said she wouldn’t have it any other way.
After medical school, Lawrence-Reid completed a pediatrics residency and then began working in a pediatric emergency medicine department.
“I got excellent experience,” Lawrence-Reid told Healio. “You learn to work fast, to work hard, to make decisions quickly about whether a child is sick or not or needs a procedure or intervention. But after about 3 years, I knew that was not my forever

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Quality of vision and subjective experience in children wearing SightGlass Vision Diffusion Optics Technology were similar to single vision spectacle lens wear, according to two studies presented at Academy 2026.
“Practitioners can be confident that they can prescribe [DOT] lenses in a similar way to standard single vision lenses,” David Webley, MCOptom, FBCLA, senior director for clinical, medical and professional affairs at SightGlass Vision, told Healio. “The experience of their patients is going to be as good with the DOT lenses,” which use contrast modulation to control

The management of keratoconus has evolved substantially over 3 decades.
While corneal transplantation was historically the only surgical option for advanced disease, intracorneal ring segments (ICRS), first implanted by Walton Nosé in 1993 and later popularized by Joseph Colin, offered a less invasive way to improve corneal symmetry and reduce irregular astigmatism. Conventional ICRS are made of synthetic PMMA, and despite their efficacy, they carry substantial risks, including extrusion, corneal melt, neovascularization and stress-induced stromal necrosis, particularly when placed

HHS launched a multi-component effort intended to improve the speed and efficiency with which clinical trials are conducted.
The series of initiatives is designed to eliminate duplication, ensure more efficient enrollment and provide patients with earlier access to promising therapies.
“The goal is straightforward — generate rigorous evidence faster, reduce unnecessary costs and burdens, and make the United States the best place in the world to engage in clinical trial research,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during a launch event held at UT Dell Medical Center in
