Pune study finds special lens implants can help patients who can't get LASIK
Pune: A 35-year-old man from US with -3 myopia, who couldn't undergo LASIK due to thin corneas and other conditions, recently underwent an advanced surgical procedure in Pune to fix his eyesight. Doctors said the patient went through an Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) procedure, which involves surgically placing flexible lenses on the eye to correct vision problems such as myopia. His successful treatment was mentioned in a research paper on the technique by his doctors, who said it can be safely extended to people deemed unfit for LASIK. "This patient's thin cornea along with low myopia meant LASIK was out of the question," said Dr Vardhaman Kankariya, director of Asian Eye Hospital and Laser Institute and the lead investigator of the research. "He wanted to completely rid himself of his glasses so we went for what's known as EVO ICL technology, found to be effective in over 300 people with low to moderate myopia," Dr Kankariya said, adding that the lenses were earlier used to treat only high or very high myopia. "But our study showed the lenses had significant promise in patients with lower myopia as well," he said. Low myopia or patients with a 'glasses number' of less than -6 are sometimes rejected for LASIK due to thin corneas, keratoconus or severe dry eyes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Such patients will need a pair of glasses for life. But the study, the doctors said, found that ICL implants helped these people ditch spectacles. Dr Kankariya said: "We evaluated patients with mild to moderate myopia (up to -6 diopters) and with unsuitable corneas for LASIK. All 361 evaluated patients were successfully treated with ICL implants, offering them spectacle-free vision. Our study has been peer reviewed and earned the 'Best Research Paper Award' at the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) annual conference that was held in Delhi in April. " The ICL procedure involves placing a thin, flexible, biocompatible lens in front of the eye's natural lens. Unlike LASIK, ICL does not require corneal thinning, does not induce dry eyes and is fully reversible, a feature the doctors said made it an ideal alternative for patients with borderline corneal parameters. Dr Shirin Sonvane, presenting author of the study, said: "The procedure takes 5 minutes, is painless and does not require anesthesia. This study gives hope to many myopia patients who earlier had no option but to depend on glasses or contact lenses." Dr Viraj Padwal, a contributor to the study said: "Traditionally, ICL was reserved for patients with high myopia, more than -8D, but this study demonstrated it is effective in lower myopia ranges as well." Dr Harshul Tak, executive committee member of the Indian Intraocular and Refractive Society said nearly 10% of those applying for LASIK are rejected due to multiple reasons. "But this study on ICL implants, for LASIK-rejected patients with low myopia, is good research. There have been very few reports of the ICL procedure on such patients in the past. This is the largest study in the world on such patients, making it a valuable reference for ophthalmologists globally," Dr Tak said.

Axiom-4: Weather favourable, Shubhanshu Shukla space mission set for liftoff today
THE AXIOM-4 mission to the International Space Station (ISS), carrying Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla and three others, remained on schedule for a launch at 5.30 pm India time Wednesday, with weather said to be 85 per cent favourable for a lift-off at that time. The mission was earlier scheduled for a launch on Tuesday but had to put off due to bad weather. 'SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, June 11 for Falcon 9's launch of Axiom Space's Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launch is targeted for 8:00 am ET (eastern time, 5.30 pm IST), with a backup opportunity available on Thursday, June 12 at 7:37 am ET (5.07 pm IST),' a statement on the website of SpaceX said. The Ax-4 mission is using Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket of SpaceX for the trip to the ISS, the world's largest private space company. At a pre-launch press conference early Tuesday (India time), Jimmy Taeger, Launch Weather Officer at US Space Force, said there were small chances of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms on the mornings of Wednesday and Thursday in areas near the launch site, but was hopeful that the launch would go through. The astronauts onboard Ax-4 mission, one each from India, Poland, Hungary and the US, will spend two weeks at the ISS, and would be involved in about 60 experiments, scientific studies and outreach programmes. India, Poland and Hungary are sending their first astronauts to space in over 40 years, and the first ones to the space station. 'This mission will launch the first ISRO astronaut to the (International Space) station, enabling joint onboard collaborations between NASA and the Indian space agency. The collaboration delivers on a commitment to send the first Indian astronaut to the station as part of a joint effort between NASA and the Indian space agency and was highlighted by President (Donald) Trump and Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi during the Prime Minister's recent visit to Washington DC last February,' Dana Weigel, Manager, International Space Station Program, at NASA, said at the pre-launch press conference. 'As part of NASA and ISRO collaboration on this upcoming mission, the space agencies are participating in five joint science investigations and two outreach demonstrations. Science investigations include studying microalgae, sprouting salad seeds, tardigrade survival adaptations, muscle repair, and assessing electronic displays,' Weigel said. The mission is being managed and operated by Axiom Space, a private US space company, and has been facilitated by NASA which has been encouraging private participation in human spaceflights to the ISS and low-earth orbits. 'This is a really incredible time for human spaceflight, with more opportunities to access space and to grow and thriving commercial economy around it,' Weigel said. The Ax-4 mission will take 28 hours after the launch to reach and dock with the International Space Station, which orbits the Earth at a distance of about 400 km from the Earth's surface.

Scientists uncover molecular clue to slow down reproductive aging
Researchers at the National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB) have made a significant discovery that could pave the way for new strategies to extend female fertility. Led by Prasad Rao from NIAB's Laboratory of Molecular Reproduction and Aging, the team has uncovered a molecular clue that appears to slow down reproductive aging. The scientific team, using both live mouse models and cultured goat ovaries, found that reducing the activity of a cellular protein called 'Cathepsin B' (Cat B) helps preserve the ovarian reserve. This ovarian reserve is the finite pool of egg cells (oocytes) that female mammals are born with. Unlike sperm, these crucial egg cells cannot be regenerated. The findings are important since, unlike sperm, oocytes cannot be regenerated. 'Over time, the quantity and quality of these eggs naturally decline due to factors like oxidative stress, inflammation and general cellular wear. This process accelerates with age. 'Cat B,' a protein-degrading enzyme, seems to be a key driver of this decline. By lowering its levels, we may be able to delay egg loss, effectively extending fertility naturally,' said The scientist team, which includes Aradhana Mohanty, Anjali Kumari, Lava Kumar S., Ajith Kumar, Pravin Birajdar, Rohit Beniwal, Mohd Athar and Kiran Kumar P., pointed out that the implications go far beyond the laboratory. It is because across India's rural heartlands and urban hospitals, fertility is quietly becoming a shared crisis. As both livestock and women age, their ability to reproduce declines, with significant biological and economic consequences, said researchers. In humans, fertility begins to decline in the early 30s, with a sharper drop in the 40s, reducing chances of conception and increasing the risk of miscarriage or chromosomal disorders. While assisted reproductive technologies like IVF provide options, they are often costly, invasive and less effective in older women. A safe, biological method to slow ovarian ageing could revolutionise fertility preservation for millions. For farmers, a simple intervention to extend reproductive lifespan of livestock could improve herd productivity, reduce stray cattle populations, and support the incomes of smallholder farmers who form the backbone of Indian agriculture. This is a rare moment where science serves both the farm and the family. From barns to birthing rooms, this discovery bridges animal science and human medicine, promising a future where age is no longer a barrier to reproduction, said researchers. For a country navigating the twin challenges of rural sustainability and reproductive health, the implications are profound and hopeful, said NIAB director G. Taru Sharma. The research results were published in the latest issue of 'Aging Cell'.
