Purpose: To assess the depth of field (DOF) by means of defocus curve analysis applying different visual acuity criteria in patients following cataract surgery and bilateral implantation of a new trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL).

Methods: Fifty eyes of 25 consecutive patients who underwent implantation of the Asqelio™ trifocal IOL (AST Products Inc., USA) were enrolled in this observational prospective study.

Setting: Multicenter clinical setting.

Design: Prospective randomized comparative study.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper provides recommendations for medical eye care during the easing of control measures after lockdown. The guidelines presented are based on a literature review and consensus among all Spanish Ophthalmology Societies regarding protection measures recommended for the ophthalmologic care of patients with or without confirmed COVID-19 in outpatient, inpatient, emergency and surgery settings. We recommend that all measures be adapted to the circumstances and availability of personal protective equipment at each centre and also highlight the need to periodically update recommendations as we may need to readopt more restrictive measures depending on the local epidemiology of the virus.

Purpose: To evaluate the refractive and functional outcomes of the trifocal 1stQ AddOn (Medicontur) supplementary intraocular lenses (IOLs) designed for implantation into the ciliary sulcus.

Patients And Methods: The study included 18 eyes of 11 pseudophakic patients with uncomplicated previous implantation of monofocal capsular bag IOLs. These patients had a desire for spectacle independence.

Purpose: To evaluate the refractive predictability obtained with an extended range of vision intraocular lens in eyes with previous myopic laser in situ keratomileusis, confirming which intraocular lens power formula provides the most accurate calculation.

Methods: The study enrolled 71 eyes with previous successful myopic laser in situ keratomileusis surgery of 43 patients undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of the extended range of vision intraocular lens TECNIS Symfony (Johnson and Johnson Vision). Intraocular lens power was calculated using all American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons formulas, and their average value was selected for implantation.

Purpose: To evaluate the development of visual acuity, dysphotopsia phenomena, and subjective sensations in patients implanted with the Tecnis(®) ZMB00 (Advanced Medical Optics Inc, Santa Ana, CA) multifocal intraocular lens.

Methods: In a sample of 70 eyes, distance and near visual acuity, with and without correction, contrast sensitivity, and patient satisfaction, were analyzed at 15, 30, and 60 days post-surgery.

Results: Mean uncorrected distance visual acuity (logarithm of minimum angle of resolution) at 15, 30, and 60 days was 0.

Article Synopsis
  • * Conducted on 11 hyperopic eyes from 6 patients post-PRL surgery, measurements of lens position and distances were taken one month later.
  • * Results indicated most lenses were positioned on the zonule, although some showed haptic placements in the sulcus and possible contact with the crystalline lens, highlighting the need for further research into long-term effects.

Purpose: To study the intraocular position and anatomic relationships of PRL-III (phakic refractive lens) (PRL) posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (PCP IOL) for high myopia using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).

Setting: Centro Oftalmológico Real Vision, and Instituto de Investigaciones Oftalmológicas Ramón Castroviejo, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.

Methods: Sixteen phakic myopic eyes that had had PRL implantation were examined by UBM 1 month after surgery.

Purpose: To study the effect of autologous serum in the treatment of recurrent corneal erosions.

Methods: Eleven eyes of 11 consecutive patients with acute macroform corneal erosions who had suffered several relapses despite receiving different types of treatment were analyzed from November 2000 to February 2002. All patients were treated with autologous serum for 3 months.
