Easy handling, clear vision reported with Infuse for Astigmatism

Patients who wore Infuse for Astigmatism contact lenses reported easy handling and consistent, clear vision after 5 days of wear, according to a real-world evaluation presented at SECO 2026.
New contact lens wearers, including those with astigmatism, sometimes have trouble with lens handling, according to study author John Womack, OD, chief medical officer at West Point Optical Group/Family First Vision Care in Canton, Georgia.

Delayed IOL surgery yields better outcomes in traumatic cataract

HELSINKI — Primary IOL implantation in pediatric open globe injuries with active inflammation showed inferior visual outcomes compared with staged rehabilitation in a retrospective study performed at a tertiary hospital in Western India.
“We included children below 16 years of age with open and closed globe injuries,” Nikhil M. Gandhi, MD, said at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons winter meeting. “We included 78 eyes of 78 children. The mean age was around 7 ± 1.5 years, and almost 55% of them were boys.”

Robotic-assisted TKA improved patient satisfaction rates

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed patients who underwent robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty experienced improved satisfaction and greater improvement in patient-reported quality of life vs. conventional TKA.
“There is a debate in the literature whether or not the improved technical aspects using the robot and computer guidance system intraoperatively translates into better outcomes and greater satisfaction,” David C. Ayers, MD, distinguished professor of orthopedic surgery and chair emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, told Healio. “There are some

Fixation vs THA for femoral neck fracture

Click here to read the Cover Story, “To fix or replace: Options for femoral neck fractures.”
With increasing life expectancy, frailty and hip fractures will correspondingly increase in numbers, now at more than 300,000 fractures per year and projected to rise to more than 500,000 by 2040.
Hip fracture burden of disease results in enormous patient morbidity, cost and mortality. More than 10% of patients are unable to recover and 10% to 30% will succumb to their injury. Therefore, improved operative treatment guidelines to avoid complications are paramount. Improved function, independence and

Global prevalence of hidradenitis suppurativa nears 1%

Hidradenitis suppurativa affects approximately 1% of the world’s population, or about one in every 100 people globally, occurring as frequently as rheumatoid arthritis, yet is understudied and underrecognized, according to a report.
HS is associated with increased mortality and psychosocial burden, yet data on the true prevalence globally have been limited, according to Gregor Jemec, MD, DMSci, professor of dermatology at the University of Copenhagen and chair of the Global Hidradenitis Suppurativa Atlas. The study sample included 22,743 participants, identifying 247 patients with HS across 23
