Comparison of glistenings in intraocular lenses with three different materials: 12-year follow-up.

Purpose: To compare the degree of lens glistenings associated with three intraocular lenses (IOLs) of different materials and examine the relationship between the dioptric power of the optics and lens glistenings in a long-term study.

Setting: St. Erik Eye Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

Corneal curvature, pachymetry, and endothelial cell density in Marfan syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate corneal curvature, pachymetry, and endothelial cell density (ECD) in Marfan syndrome (MFS).

Methods: A case-control study in which K values, pachymetry, and ECD were compared in 39 MFS eyes and 40 control eyes matched for age and refraction was conducted. MFS eyes with lens subluxation also were compared with eyes without subluxation.

Accommodation measured with optical coherence tomography in patients with Marfan's syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate accommodation in patients with Marfan's syndrome using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Design: Clinical case-control study.

Participants And Controls: The study included 31 eyes of 31 patients with Marfan's syndrome and 31 eyes of 31 unaffected controls.

Phakic intraocular lens for the correction of hyperopia.

Purpose: To evaluate surgical outcomes and adverse events associated with the correction of hyperopia with a phakic intraocular lens (pIOL).

Setting: St. Erik Eye Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

Phakic refractive lens: two-year results.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical outcome and adverse events associated with correction of myopia and hyperopia with a phakic refractive lens (PRL), and to determine the random errors of the analytical methods used in the trial.

Methods: In this prospective clinical study, 14 myopic and 6 hyperopic PRLs were implanted in 20 eyes of 20 patients from April to November 2002. Follow-up included evaluation of the PRL rotation with retroillumination photography, the distance between the PRL and crystalline lens with Scheimpflug images, laser flare meter, endothelial cell count, uncorrected (UCVA) and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refraction, intraocular pressure, and induced cataract.

Optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment in eyes with phakic refractive lenses.

Purpose: To evaluate the dynamics of the phakic refractive lens (PRL) in myopic and hyperopic eyes in the nonaccommodated state and during subjective accommodation with Visante optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Participants: Forty-one myopic eyes and 11 hyperopic eyes of 52 patients (mean age, 34 years; range, 24-49) were examined at least 1 year after PRL implantation using Visante OCT.

Clinical outcomes of phakic refractive lens in myopic and hyperopic eyes: 1-year results.

Purpose: To confirm the safety, efficacy, and predictability of the surgical correction of myopia and hyperopia with the phakic refractive lens (PRL) (Medennium Inc.).

Setting: St.
