Purpose: To evaluate vector analysis, rotational stability, and visual outcomes after implantation of toric IOLs with low (<2.25 diopter [D]) toric values (Acrysof IQ SN6AT3 or SN6AT4) and moderate-to-high toric (3.00 D to 6.

Methods: In this prospective, interventional case series, 30 toric, aspheric Bi-Flex T toric IOLs (Medicontur Medical Engineering Ltd., Inc.
Purpose: To evaluate long-term outcomes of small-aperture corneal inlay implantation for the surgical compensation of presbyopia.
Setting: Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria.
Design: Prospective interventional cohort study.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of a heparin-surface-modified (HSM) hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) (EC-1YH PAL) and the same IOL without heparin coating (EC-1Y-PAL) by the flare and cell intensity in the anterior chamber after uneventful cataract surgery.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Paracelsus Medical University Salzburg, Austria.
Design: Comparative case series.
Purpose: To evaluate rotational stability and the refractive and visual outcomes of a new aspheric toric intraocular lens (IOL) for correction of preexisting corneal astigmatism during routine cataract surgery.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Paracelsus Medical University Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria.
Design: Case series.
Purpose: To report the initial results of intrastromal arcuate keratotomy performed with a femtosecond laser to treat corneal astigmatism.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria.
Design: Interventional case series.
Purpose: To report the 2-year postoperative safety and efficacy outcomes after monocular Kamra corneal inlay (ACI7000PDT) implantation in femtosecond laser-created corneal pockets of emmetropic presbyopic patients to improve near and intermediate vision.
Setting: University Eye Clinic, Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria.
Design: Prospective interventional case series.
Purpose: Genetic factors have been shown to play a remarkable role in the pathophysiology of glaucoma. Recently, two polymorphisms (rs1533428 and rs12994401) on chromosome 2p were found to be strongly associated with POAG in an Afro-Caribbean population in Barbados, West Indies. As data with regard to the role of these polymorphisms in a Caucasian population are lacking, the present study was set to investigate a hypothetical association between these polymorphisms and POAG in a Caucasian population.
