Finding “Big Ideas” in Ophthalmic Innovation Ophthalmologists are well-known for coming up with original ideas for devices and instruments that allow them to treat patients in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. But if you're thinking of bringing your concept to an ophthalmic company or well-respected venture capital firm, this paper discusses why it should offer more than an incremental improvement over what's currently available in the marketplace.
A Glimpse at New and Emerging Treatments for DME The quest to preserve vision in diabetic eye disease is focusing on anti-VEGF drugs, implants and topical drops.

577 nm Wavelength System Delivers Safety While the original diode lasers had revolutionary capabilities when they debuted, the systems were somewhat problematic for patient comfort. The high wavelengths caused pain when near-infrared light would pass through blood and was absorbed by the RPE. This
article discusses The Pascal Streamline 577 from Topcon Medical, a solid-state, yellow- wavelength system that gives surgeons full control over laser parameters.

Focus on these neglected areas: staffing, business overhead, and payer contracts. Gains made in the areas of staffing, overhead, and payer reimbursements can contribute to more effective recruitment and retention as well as boost financial performance in the long run.
There are 3 types of search. Please only use one option at a time.
1) Build a boolean search string.
Ensure that document matches include...
2) Search for a phrase:
3) Search on part of a word:
Information on how to use Search
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
AND example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
OR example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
NOT example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.
