Bausch & Lomb faced a crisis when its contact lens solution Renu MoistureLoc was linked to fungal eye infections. While the CDC did not definitively link the product to infections, many users who developed infections had used Renu. B&L was criticized for not taking prompt action when initial reports emerged in Asia in 2005. In 2006, as more U.S. cases were reported, B&L suspended U.S. shipments and asked retailers to remove Renu from shelves. However, experts argued B&L should have recalled the product sooner and communicated more clearly with customers. The slow response damaged B&L's reputation and market share in lens care.

The document discusses an artificial intraocular lens (AIOL) called the FluidVision that mimics the eye's natural accommodative process. It is the first true shape changing, fluid-driven IOL. Early results from a 23 patient pilot study show promising results with a straightforward surgical technique. Bench testing shows the FluidVision provides excellent image quality over a range of powers as it continuously varies between far and near focal points by inflating and deflating the lens using fluid movements. PowerVision is developing additional innovations like a toric version and post-implant adjustment capabilities.
The document discusses Presbia Flexivue Microlens, an investigational intracorneal inlay to treat presbyopia. It notes that there are 1.8 billion presbyopes worldwide and ophthalmologists are motivated to treat this large market. The technology involves implanting a small hydrophilic acrylic lens in the cornea using existing femtosecond lasers. The author's clinical experience found the procedure had a short learning curve, excellent uncorrected near vision, and distance vision was unaffected. The inlay shows potential for treating presbyopia, improving vision after cataracts or LASIK.
Presbyopia Therapies is developing LiquidVision Eye Drops to treat presbyopia, a large global market affecting most people over age 50. The drops aim to improve near vision without distance vision blur for 5+ hours after a single daily dose. Currently, the main treatment options are reading glasses or contact lenses. A phase 2a trial in 2016 showed the drops improved uncorrected near vision versus placebo. A phase 2b trial beginning in Q2 2017 aims to demonstrate a 30 minute onset and 5+ hour duration with a 3-line improvement in near vision. The company hopes to create a new global market category for the daily treatment of presbyopia.
This document summarizes information about the VisAbility Micro-Insert System, an investigational device for treating presbyopia. It provides details on the clinical trial results showing the device improved near vision without compromising distance vision. Over multiple time periods, a high percentage of patients achieved good near vision both with and without glasses. The device also showed stability in refractive error and high patient satisfaction rates. The summary concludes with benefits of the VisAbility procedure compared to other presbyopia surgeries, such as preserving full range of focus and stereopsis while having a superior safety profile.
The document discusses market research data on the presbyopic market in the US and patient outcomes and satisfaction rates for Raindrop vision correction surgery. It finds that there are over 28 million potential patients in the US, with 71% seeking an ophthalmologist for the procedure. Real-world data shows 99% of patients achieving less than 20/20 distance vision and 78% less than J3 near vision, with a low 2.5% explant rate. Surgeon, patient, and reorder satisfaction rates are over 90% based on recent surveys.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
