TL;DR: The greatest burden of refractive error is due to myopia, with high prevalence rates in young adults, and it is estimated there are 227.2 million people with myopia across Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications of cataract surgery
TL;DR: In these patients, various pre‐ or intra‐operative management steps can be taken in addition to routine phacoemulsification to optimise their visual outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of 542,934 individuals identifies 336 novel loci associated with refractive error and implicates eye development, circadian rhythm and pigmentation pathways in controlling myopia.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: High resolution images are presented for most of the conditions discussed, particularly the rarer ones, providing a useful reference library for images of the range of conditions associated with drusen-like appearances.
Journal ArticleDOI
