IntraLase Bladeless LASIK Brochure
The document discusses the IntraLase Method for LASIK eye surgery. It describes the IntraLase Method as a 100% blade-free approach that uses laser pulses to create a corneal flap instead of a microkeratome blade. This eliminates the risk of complications associated with the blade and clinical studies show it provides better visual results with more patients achieving 20/20 vision or better. The document promotes the IntraLase Method as the safest, most advanced treatment available for LASIK.
Peek vision
Peek is a portable eye examination kit that clips onto a smartphone to allow healthcare workers to easily perform eye exams and screenings. It functions as both an ophthalmoscope and retinal camera to diagnose conditions like cataracts and glaucoma. By making eye exams affordable and accessible anywhere via smartphone, Peek aims to help eliminate the 39 million cases of avoidable blindness worldwide, especially in underserved regions without traditional eye care equipment. The system was created by a team that includes ophthalmologists, engineers, and designers, and has been recognized with awards for its innovative approach to healthcare technology.
IntraLase Patient Fact Sheet
The IntraLase Method is a blade-free approach to LASIK surgery that uses laser light instead of a microkeratome blade to create the corneal flap. The laser pulses form microscopic bubbles just below the eye's surface that allow the doctor to gently lift the flap. This method eliminates severe complications associated with blades and clinical studies show more patients achieve 20/20 vision without blades. The flap creation takes only 30 seconds per eye and patients report a better LASIK experience and vision with the IntraLase Method compared to microkeratomes.
new eye assessment technology,NETRA
NETRA is a portable, inexpensive device that clips onto a smartphone to allow for eye examinations. It exploits mobile phone technology to diagnose refractive vision problems. The exam takes less than two minutes using the smartphone screen and buttons to have the patient overlap lines until they match. This allows for self-evaluation and diagnosis of treatable eye conditions anywhere. While not a replacement for an optometrist, NETRA has the potential to improve eye care access in developing areas where options are currently limited due to lack of resources and trained professionals.
Diabetic Retinopathy Detection using CNN image classification algorithm
DR EyeScan is a mobile application that uses machine learning and a 3D-printed lens attachment to enable early detection of diabetic retinopathy through retinal scans. It aims to make diabetic retinopathy screening highly accessible and leave no cases undiagnosed, as retinopathy is currently the leading cause of blindness but many cases go undetected each week. The application was developed by a team combining expertise in healthcare, data science, software development, and more to help prevent vision loss through early detection and treatment of this diabetes complication.
Cataract surgery ppt- Lyfboat
In cataract surgery, the lens inside your eye that has become cloudy is removed and replaced with an artificial lens (called an intraocular lens, or IOL) to restore clear vision. The procedure typically is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require an overnight stay in a hospital or other care facility.
Cornea transplant ppt -Lyfboat
A cornea transplant is an operation to remove all or part of a damaged cornea and replace it with healthy donor tissue. A cornea transplant is often referred to as keratoplasty or a corneal graft. It can be used to improve sight, relieve pain and treat severe infection or damage.

Sankara Eye Foundation - How Darkness Feels?
Sankara Eye runs the largest structured community eye care program in India called The Gift of Vision Programme. The programme identifies the poor and needy in rural areas through door-to-door surveys and provides free treatment for surgically curable blindness like cataract, glaucoma, and retinal issues. It has benefited millions across 110 districts in 6 states and 2 union territories with high quality eye care. Sankara Eye also runs preventive eye care programs for school-aged children and infants to screen for and treat conditions like refractive errors and amblyopia.
Cost of cataract surgery
A cataract is an eye defect characterized by clouding of the lens. It causes blurred vision and can lead to complete opacity if untreated. Cataract surgery replaces the cloudy lens with an artificial plastic lens in a short outpatient procedure performed by an ophthalmologist. The average cost of standard cataract surgery has decreased from $3,300 per eye in 2010 to $2,700 today. Advanced procedures using presbyopia-correcting lenses or laser surgery are more expensive, ranging from $4,337 to $872 per eye. The specific facility, region, surgeon experience, and type of intraocular lens affect the total cost.
Technology Will Save Our Minds & Bodies
This document discusses various medical and dental technologies. It describes 3D ultrasounds which provide detailed fetal images but have unknown long term risks. A microfluid chip can diagnose flu within hours and outperforms other tests but costs $10 per use. Dental technologies discussed include digital x-rays which use less radiation than traditional x-rays, intra-oral cameras to examine problem areas, and lasers to treat gum disease with fewer complications than other methods. Overall the document conveys that technologies provide medical benefits but also have costs and in some cases unknown long term effects.
Optical Disc Detection, Localization and Glaucoma Identification of Retinal F...
This document presents a method for detecting diabetic retinopathy by analyzing fundus images and calculating the cup-to-disc ratio of the optic disc. The researchers first take fundus images of the retina using a camera. They then use image processing techniques like thresholding and morphological operations to extract and measure the area of the optic disc and cup. By calculating the ratio of the cup area to disc area, they can determine the severity of diabetic retinopathy as normal, mild, or severe. This automatic analysis of fundus images and cup-to-disc ratios could help doctors better track the progression of diabetic retinopathy and control vision loss.

TEDxBoston Raskar: Netra and Catra as Mobile Mates
NETRA is a tool for refractive assessment of the eye that can be used as an alternative to traditional eye exams. It uses a smartphone's display and camera along with an eyepiece to allow users to interactively map their wavefront aberration and determine their refractive error by moving spots of light on the screen until they see a single point. This allows eye exams and the dispensing of corrective lenses to be done more cheaply and easily without specialized equipment or trained professionals. The developers hope to make NETRA available worldwide as a diagnostic tool on smartphones.

Sriram Kannan developed a tele-ophthalmology solution called eyePhone using the iPhone to help diagnose and treat Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of preventable infant blindness. Only about 300 specialists in India can diagnose ROP, but 2.5 lakh infants need diagnosis each month. The eyePhone allows retinal images to be taken, securely stored on a server, and accessed by specialists anywhere in real-time for analysis and reporting, helping address the shortage of experts. Future applications could include other ophthalmic diseases, telecardiology and teledentistry to improve access to care for rural and underserved populations in India.
Sight Care Foundation
Dr. K. Prabhakar presented a sight care model to address visual impairment among millions globally. The model trains vision care technicians through short courses to diagnose and treat refractive errors. It aims to address the shortage of eye care professionals in a low-cost and sustainable way. The technicians operate from their homes and conduct screenings to provide affordable eyeglasses. Monitoring shows most new patients come through referrals. The model is cost-effective for rural patients and provides employment while being designed for scalability and replication in multiple states.
Blindness Prevention and Control
The document discusses blindness, including its definition, categories of visual impairment, major causes, and the problem statement. It covers changing concepts in healthcare with regards to eye care and prevention of blindness through primary, secondary and tertiary prevention methods. The Vision 2020 initiative to eliminate avoidable blindness is also summarized. Major causes of blindness in India are discussed, along with epidemiological determinants and methods of intervention through primary, secondary and tertiary care. Specific prevention programs like trachoma control, vitamin A prophylaxis and occupational eye health services are highlighted.
Epidemiology of blindness
1. Approximately 285 million people worldwide have visual impairments, with 246 million having low vision and 39 million being blind.
2. The leading causes of blindness are cataract (62%), refractive error (19.7%), and glaucoma (5.8%).
3. In India, there are 7.8 million blind people and 45 million with low vision, accounting for 20% of the world's blind population.
4. The National Programme for Control of Blindness was launched in 1976 with the goal of reducing blindness prevalence from 1.4% to 0.3% by 2020 through strengthening eye care services, training human resources, and increasing public awareness.
national blindness control programme.pptx
Prevention and control of blindness is one of the important healthcare programmes in India. The National Health Policy document of the Government of India, 1983, stipulates that 'One of the basic human rights is the right to see.’ We have to ensure that no citizen goes blind needlessly, or being blind does not remain so, if by reasonable deployment of skill and resources, his eyesight can be prevented from deterioration or if already lost, can be restored.
The National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB) was launched in 1976 with the goal of reducing blindness prevalence to 0.3% by the year 2020. India was the first country in the world to launch National Level Blindness Control Programme.
In 1999, the WHO launched Vision 2020: The Right to Sight, a joint endeavour with IAPB, to eliminate avoidable blindness by 2020. In 2013, the World Health Assembly adopted Universal Eye Health: Global Action Plan 2014-19 to reduce the prevalence of avoidable visual impairment by 25% by 2019 compared to the baseline prevalence in 2010.

The need for cataract prevention strategies is huge, given the tens of millions of people who are blind or visually impaired as the result of cataract. In this step we look at the public health strategies used to prevent and control cataract blindness. Think about how many cataract surgeries are done in your setting each year. What is the level of visual impairment at which cataract surgery is offered to patients?

National programs on blindness
The National Programme for Control of Blindness was launched in 1976 in India with the goal of reducing blindness prevalence from 1.4% to 0.3%. The main causes of blindness are cataract (65.6%), refractive errors (19.7%), corneal blindness, glaucoma, and surgical complications. The objectives of the program are to reduce cataract blindness and expand eye care coverage, especially to underserved rural areas, through strategies like decentralized implementation, community involvement, training of eye care personnel, and public awareness activities. Key activities include increasing cataract surgeries, provision of equipment and transportation, and integrating initiatives like free surgeries and spectacles.

ABSTRACT- There are various diseases which are preventable and one of high priority amongst them is the blindness.
Owing to insufficient ophthalmological healthcare facilities in the peripheral setup, the concept of camp surgery came into
existence for the developing nations so that maximum cases could be treated at a single sitting within a nominal
expenditure. Unfortunately if something goes wrong during mass surgery many people have to pay the price for it in terms
of permanent loss of vision. Hence it is of utmost importance that when so many people are getting operated for a
particular operation, there should not be any compromise in quality of care and standards of delivery of health services.
Key words- Cataract, Blindness, NPCB, Sterilizationcommunityophthalmology-141116033215-conversion-gate01.pdf
This document discusses community ophthalmology and the National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB) in India. It defines key terms like economic blindness, legal blindness, and avoidable blindness. The NPCB aims to reduce blindness prevalence to 0.3% by 2020 through activities like cataract surgery programs, school eye screening, and health education. Major causes of blindness in India are cataract, refractive error, and glaucoma. International initiatives to address blindness globally include Vision 2020 and programs focused on cataract, trachoma, and childhood blindness.
Community ophthalmology
This document summarizes information about community ophthalmology and the National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB) in India. It discusses the basic principles of community ophthalmology, types of blindness, goals of the NPCB program, and strategies to reduce blindness prevalence such as cataract surgery programs and health education. The global Vision 2020 initiative to eliminate avoidable blindness is also summarized.
Glaucoma in Africa with Dr Alan Crandall
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, disproportionately affecting those in Africa. Surgery is the best treatment option for glaucoma in developing areas like Ethiopia, as eyedrops are too expensive for most. The ASCRS Foundation's Robert Sinskey Eye Institute in Ethiopia will begin a surgical glaucoma initiative to treat patients, as many may face blindness without access to treatment.

The goal is to provide a multidisciplinary STEM education using a low-cost, portable kit.
Foragetracking
The document summarizes a project that tracks the routes of informal recyclers ("catadores") in São Paulo using GPS to understand their foraging strategies. This information could then be turned into an online platform to help catadores formalize and scale up their recycling services by improving coordination between cooperatives and establishing relationships of trust with companies and residents. The goal is to help catadores take advantage of a new Brazilian law recognizing them and leverage technology to strengthen the recycling system through participatory management.
Arttherapy
The document proposes using art therapy techniques to help children in Pakistan cope with trauma from the 2010 floods. Over 14 million people were affected by the floods, with 1/5 of the country under water. Art therapy has been shown to be effective for trauma and could help the millions of children suffering from disease, deprivation, and witnessing horrific destruction from the floods. The proposed solution is to use self-sustaining, lightweight, and rapidly deployable art therapy sessions led by local community partners to help children process trauma and accelerate community rebuilding.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
