<p>Spherical aberration is a term often used in ophthalmology and optometry, especially in relation to lens surgeries and intraocular lens design. Recently, IOL manufacturers have been manipulating spherical aberration as a tool to provide a greater range of vision, but rarely explaining the mechanism. Your OATR hosts, Dr Nick Andrew and Dr Ben LaHood, as always, discuss the simple things often overlooked and the complex things often ignored in the eye world. They take a deep dive into spherical aberration of the eye to provide you with a better understanding of an increasingly important topic for ophthalmologists and optometrists.</p>

<p>Disassembling the lens nucleus is a crucial step during cataract surgery. Different techniques may be better suited to different cataract types, require more skill and ultimately make a difference in visual recovery and corneal health. Your Ophthalmology Against The Rule hosts take a detailed look at the MiLoop technique and discuss the pros and cons of various phaco options including femto laser assisted, divide and conquer, and chop. As you'll hear, just like with nuclear fission, with great power comes great responsibility when choosing an option to split the nucleus.</p>

<p>Ophthalmologists are performing cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery in younger patients. One of the major risks that eye care professionals need to inform these patients about is retinal detachment yet the evidence to quote from has been scarce and confusing. How age, axial length, gender, and laser capsuotomy, impact the risk needs to be taken into account. So, your OATR hosts, Dr Ben LaHood and Dr Nick Andrew take a deep dive into the topic to clarify what we should be considering and discussing with our patients before performing lens surgery. </p>
