Purpose: To estimate the incidence of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy up to five years after cataract surgery with different single-piece acrylic monofocal IOLs in a Spanish cohort.
Patients And Methods: Data were extracted from electronic medical records. Eligible participants were aged ≥65, had cataract surgery with one of five different acrylic monofocal IOLs (Alcon AcrySof, AJL LLASY60, Medicontur Bi-flex, IOL Tech Stabibag and Zeiss Asphina), and more than six months baseline data.
Purpose: To estimate the economic impact of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy and its related complications for five different intraocular lenses (IOLs) from the payer and hospital perspectives in Spain.
Materials And Methods: The three-year incidence rates of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy after cataract surgery with five different single-piece acrylic monofocal IOLs (AcrySof IOLs, AJL LLASY60, IOL Tech Stabibag, Medicontur Bi-flex, Zeiss Asphina) for 8293 patients were derived from odds ratios of multivariate analysis adjusted for age, gender, and diabetic retinopathy. A cost-consequence model for a hypothetical cohort of 2000 eyes was then developed to quantify the potential impact of Nd:YAG capsulotomy in terms of costs and time for each of the included IOLs, from the payer and hospital perspectives.
Objectives: To investigate the associations between different single-piece monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy incidence 3 years after cataract surgery in a Spanish cohort.
Methods: This is a longitudinal retrospective cohort study. Data were extracted from the electronic medical records of two large regional hospitals in Spain.
Significance: We have analyzed the ultraviolet transmittance of some commercial intraocular lenses (IOLs). The results show differences of wavelength cutoff among them.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the ultraviolet light transmittance of different IOLs made out of acrylic hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and hydrophilic with hydrophobic surface materials from different manufacturers.
Purpose: To assess the prevalence and severity of preoperative and postoperative astigmatism in patients with cataract in the UK.
Setting: Data from 8 UK National Health Service ophthalmology clinics using MediSoft electronic medical records (EMRs).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Purpose: To evaluate visual quality differences between intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients with previous myopic laser ablations and assess the impact of IOL decentration and tilt on visual quality.
Setting: University of Valencia, Burjassot, Spain.
Design: Cohort study.
Purpose: To evaluate visual quality differences among intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients with previous hyperopic laser ablations and to assess the impact of decentration and tilt of IOLs on visual quality.
Methods: An adaptive optics visual simulator was used to simulate the wavefront aberration pattern of one aberration-correcting IOL (AcrySof IQ SN60WF, Alcon Laboratories Inc) and two spherical IOLs with different amounts of positive spherical aberration (Akreos Adapt [Bausch & Lomb] and Triplato [AJL Ophthalmic]) in five situations-centered, 0.2 mm and 0.
