Sample Proposal

Biosimilars in Ophthalmology Summary: Patents for original biologics used to treat nAMD and DME are approaching expiration. Numerous companies are striving to replicate these biologics as biosimilars, which are drugs that mimic the effects of the original biologic, but do not have the same active ingredients. This article will summarize the current literature about biosimilars and their safety, efficacy, and quality and provide an in-depth review of approved biosimilars as well as those that are in development. This article will provide EyeWiki readers with information about numerous alternatives for treatment nAMD and DME.

Refractive Lenticule Extraction Surgeries - JnJ SILK, Zeiss SMILE, Ziemer CLEAR, Schwind SmartSight

• Summary

Among Refractive Corneal Surgeries, there is now a new category that can be termed Refractive Lenticule Extraction. This includes JnJ SILK, Zeiss SMILE and SMILE Pro, Ziemer CLEAR and Schwind SmartSight.

These surgeries involve femotosecond laser based creation of a intrastromal lencticule in the cornea and its removal to correct refractive errors.

These various different surgeries though similar, differ in the wavelength, power and spot-size of the lasers used and in the shape of the lenticules themselves and the transition zones.

• Request

EyeWiki has a simple article on SMILE, none of the others are mentioned or covered. I would suggest a main article covering all these together AND/OR linked to individual articles for each of these.
