"To be of use to the world is the only way to be happy". Â Hans Christian Andersen
Dear Readers,
it is with great pleasure that I present you with this special issue of 'l'Oculista italiano' focusing on some important topics in refractive cataract surgery discussed by leading opinion leaders in European ophthalmology.
"l'Oculista italiano" is a scientific journal published since 1968 by SIFI, the leading Italian company in Ophthalmology. In our publishing activity we have always been committed to updating and training Ophthalmologists in both clinical and surgical fields.
We are very proud to publish this special issue on the occasion of the XXXIV Congress of the European Society for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ESCRS), the most important ophthalmology meeting of the year.
Our Guest Editors were interviewed by Vittorio Picardo, the well-known 'voice' who reports and comments on most of the live surgeries at the major ophthalmology congresses in Italy.
Refractive cataract surgery is a very complex subject and most of the innovations in this contest come from the development of innovative and high quality surgical devices, such as the latest generation of Premium IOLs. SIFI is at the forefront of this demanding technological challenge with Mini WELL, the EDOF IOL for the correction of presbyopia, and the latest, Mini Toric Ready, for the correction of astigmatism in cataract surgery.
The scientific symposia, live surgeries and debates between opinion leaders at the ESCRS 2016 Congress will certainly be of great importance for the advancement of scientific knowledge in cataract surgery, and I hope that this special issue of "l'Oculista italiano" will be the object of your attention and appreciation.
