Advances in Corneal, Refractive and Lens-Based Surgery

Corneal, refractive, and lens-based surgery has developed rapidly in recent years, driven by progress in diagnostic imaging, laser platforms, and intraocular lens technology. These advances have refined treatment options for refractive errors, presbyopia, cataract, and corneal disease.

Research is essential to provide objective clinical evidence for a more comprehensive evaluation of visual quality, treatment accuracy and stability, and patient satisfaction, all of which are increasingly important in making clinical decision. At the same time, advances in diagnostic imaging and personalized treatment algorithms are enabling earlier disease detection, more precise patient selection, individualized surgical planning, and improved risk assessment.
