Effects of cataract surgery on blinking.

Purpose: To assess the effects of cataract surgery on the spontaneous blinking pattern and blinking kinematics.

Setting: FISABIO Oftalmología Médica Eye Hospital, Valencia, Spain.

Design: Observational descriptive clinical study.

Blinking kinematics characterization during digital displays use.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the differences in blinking kinematics while reading on different digital displays and a control condition.

Methods: Thirty-two young healthy individuals were included in this prospective clinical study. The blinks of subjects were recorded for 150 s while reading on a laptop computer, tablet, e-reader, and smartphone and a control condition.

How Do Different Digital Displays Affect the Ocular Surface?

Significance: Digital display use has been accepted as a contributing factor to dry eye disease. Nowadays, plenty of new models of digital displays have been developed, and the differences in their nature and the ways in which they are set and used may contribute to differences in the eye-related problems they cause.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the differences in ocular surface, tear film, and visual fatigue parameters after reading on different digital displays, with and without initial instillation of artificial tears.

Symptomatic accommodative and binocular dysfunctions from the use of flat-panel displays.

Aim: To determine the presence of symptomatic accommodative and non-strabismic binocular dysfunctions (ABD) in a non-presbyopic population of video display unit (VDU) users with flat-panel displays.

Methods: One hundred and one VDU users, aged between 20 to 34y, initially participated in the study. This study excluded contact-lens wearers and subjects who had undergone refractive surgery or had any systemic or ocular disease.

Visual and ocular effects from the use of flat-panel displays.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of eye symptoms in a non-presbyopic population of video display unit (VDU) users with flat-panel displays.

Methods: One hundred and sixteen VDU users with flat-panel display from an urban population participated in the study; their ages ranging from 20 to 34y. There were 60 females and 56 males.

Image quality comparison of two multifocal IOLs: influence of the pupil.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of pupil size on image quality of a sectorial multifocal intraocular lens (IOL), the Lentis Mplus (Oculentis GmbH, Berlin, Germany), and the Acri.LISA IOL (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany).

Methods: The authors measured the MTFs of the Lentis Mplus LS-312 IOL and the Acri.

In vitro optical quality differences between multifocal apodized diffractive intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To compare the in vitro optical quality of multifocal apodized intraocular lenses (IOLs) at different focal points.

Setting: University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain.

Design: Experimental study.

Optical quality of the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens for different refractive powers.

Purpose: To evaluate the optical quality of the Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) for different powers and pupil diameters.

Methods: Wavefront aberrations of the -3, -6, -9, -12 and -15 diopters (D) V4b ICLs were measured at 3- and 4.5-mm pupils.
