NEW YORK — Surgeons should have a plan to fixate a new IOL in patients with “dead bag syndrome,” according to a speaker at OSN New York.
Nicole R. Fram, MD, told Healio that the term “dead bag syndrome” was coined by Samuel Masket, MD, after he noticed patients with capsular bags that looked the same 5 to 10 years after he operated on them.

At a routine 6-month pediatrician appointment, parents might expect their infant to receive several recommended vaccines, including DTaP, Hib, pneumococcal conjugate and influenza, if it’s the season.
One they might not anticipate discussing is the MMR vaccine, which is typically administered to infants when they are between ages 12 and 15 months, followed by a second dose between ages 4 to 6 years.
But rising measles cases across the United States has brought an uncommon vaccine recommendation into play: The CDC says children as young as age 6 months can receive an early dose of MMR vaccine if
