Teaser trailers are short videos released months or a year before a film's release to generate excitement and anticipation. They are typically 30 seconds to a minute long and may feature unfinished scenes as films are sometimes still in production when teaser trailers are made. Teaser trailers are aimed at sparking interest in the target audience and increasing desire to see the upcoming film.
Landlessness is the main cause of rural poverty in India, where over 70% of the population lives in rural areas. Those with land tend to have greater economic stability and bargaining power. Landlessness brings obstacles like inability to get loans or insurance, and an inability to profit from labor. Effective land reform legislation that redistributes land equitably among the rural masses is needed to remedy this issue. However, existing land reform laws in India have gaps and inconsistencies and need reform. Additionally, a more comprehensive legal framework is required to support vulnerable groups and ensure their land rights. The National Council for Land Reforms was formed to address unfinished land reforms, but it has yet to hold its first meeting to discuss critical land reform issues.

The document summarizes studies on the use of phakic intraocular lenses (ICL) to correct refractive errors in soldiers. A retrospective analysis of 206 ICL implantations at Fort Hood found high rates of visual acuity and few complications. A prospective study compared 95 eyes that received ICL implants to 95 that received LASIK, finding ICL provided better night vision and contrast sensitivity while maintaining high accuracy. Over 1,500 ICL procedures in the military have had no cases of serious complications like retinal detachment. The ICL appears to withstand trauma well in soldiers.
The document summarizes studies on the use of phakic intraocular lenses (ICL) to correct refractive errors in soldiers. A retrospective analysis of 206 ICL implantations at Fort Hood found high rates of visual acuity and few complications. A prospective study compared 95 eyes that received ICL implants to 48 eyes that received LASIK, finding ICL provided better night vision and contrast sensitivity while maintaining high accuracy. Over 1,500 ICL procedures at Army centers have shown the procedure withstands trauma well with no reported serious complications.
This study evaluated the long-term efficacy, safety, and stability of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (ICL) implantation for correction of high ametropia. The study retrospectively reviewed 90 eyes of 53 patients with high myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism who underwent ICL implantation with a mean follow-up of 5 years. Results showed that ICL implantation effectively corrected refractive error and achieved good visual acuity outcomes. Post-implantation, endothelial cell density decreased stable at 0.69% per year and few eyes developed lens opacity. Overall patient satisfaction was high, demonstrating that ICL implantation is an effective option for correcting high ametropia with a favorable long-term safety
This article summarizes three studies on the use of phakic intraocular lenses (ICLs) to correct different refractive errors:
1) A study assessing the long-term efficacy, stability, and safety of posterior chamber phakic ICL implantation for correcting high ametropia, finding excellent refractive results and stability over an average follow-up of 4.7 years.
2) A study evaluating the efficacy and safety of "bioptics" using spherical ICL implantation followed by laser vision correction to treat residual astigmatism in correcting hyperopia with astigmatism, showing it to be an effective and safe procedure.
3) A retrospective study evaluating visual outcomes of toric I
The document summarizes research on using phakic intraocular lenses (ICLs) to correct refractive errors in the military. A study at Fort Hood found the Visian ICL provided excellent visual outcomes for soldiers, with high predictability and safety. A prospective study found ICL patients had better low-light vision than LASIK patients, with greater improvement in low-light contrast sensitivity after ICL. The ICL has proven safe for soldiers over many cases and resistant to potential eye trauma, offering an option when LASIK is not suitable.
This document outlines the procedure for corneal cross-linking to treat progressive keratoconus and other conditions. It details the necessary equipment, contraindications, pre-treatment considerations, and step-by-step treatment process which involves removing the corneal epithelium, soaking the cornea in riboflavin solution, and exposing it to UV light for 10 minutes to initiate cross-linking and strengthen the cornea. Post-operative care includes a bandage contact lens and medications.
Here are additional pre-surgical case examples to review:
- Patient 1: Keratoconus in both eyes, worse in right. Best corrected vision 20/60 in right, 20/40 in left. Steep cornea with thinning. Consider Intacs to flatten cornea and improve vision.
- Patient 2: Asymmetric keratoconus. Left eye moderate, right eye advanced. Right eye best corrected 20/100. Consider Intacs in right eye to improve vision and stabilize further ectasia.
- Patient 3: Keratoconus diagnosed 5 years ago. Wears rigid gas permeable lenses but vision fluctuates. Best corrected 20/40. Consider Intacs to improve and stabilize vision long term
This document provides a comprehensive nomogram and pre-surgical planning guide for Intacs corneal implant surgery. It includes:
1. A nomogram to select symmetric or asymmetric Intacs segments based on the patient's manifest refraction and topography results.
2. Guidelines for pre-surgical planning, including measuring manifest refraction, best corrected visual acuity, corneal topography, and pachymetry.
3. Definitions for steep and flat meridians to identify the appropriate location for incisions.
The goal is to assist surgeons in the initial case planning process for Intacs surgery using best practices developed from experience with thousands of cases. Additional guidance is available online.
Step 1: View corneal topography and manifest refraction to obtain essential measurements.
Step 2: Verify that the steep meridian from topography matches the refraction axis to determine incision location.
Step 3: Select symmetric or asymmetric Intacs segments using the comprehensive nomogram based on the manifest refraction and topography findings.
