The Influence of Angle Alpha, Angle Kappa, and Optical Aberrations on Visual Outcomes after the Implantation of a High-Addition Trifocal IOL.

The aim of our investigation was to examine the possible correlations between optical aberrations, angle kappa, angle alpha, and visual outcomes following cataract surgery. In total, 56 eyes of 28 patients were implanted with the Liberty 677MY trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). Pre- and postoperative higher-order aberrations, coma, astigmatism, angle alpha, and angle kappa were registered, along with uncorrected and corrected visual acuities at multiple distances.

Ocular biometry in dense cataracts: Comparison of partial-coherence interferometry, swept-source optical coherence tomography and immersion ultrasound.

Purpose: To assess the axial length (AL) measurement failure rate using partial-coherence interferometry (PCI) and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in dense cataracts. As a secondary outcome, the SS-OCT biometry was compared to immersion ultrasound.

Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional and comparative study.

Impact of correlation of angle α with ocular biometry variables.

Purpose: To analyze the association between angle α and ocular biometry in the general population at a third-level ophthalmology hospital.

Setting: Anterior Segment Surgery Department, Asociación para Evitar la Ceguera en México I.A.

Influence of Angle and Higher-Order Aberrations on Visual Quality Employing Two Diffractive Trifocal IOLs.

Prospective, randomized, comparative, and controlled study to estimate the association between angle distance and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) with postoperative visual acuity after presbyopia-correcting IOL implantation. Forty-three eyes from 43 patients were included and randomly assigned in two groups for either AT LISA tri 839MP or Acrysof IQ PanOptix IOL implantation. The OPD-Scan III analyzer was utilized to assess the angle distance and higher-order aberration (HOAs).

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in pediatric patients.

Pediatric cataract surgery poses a significant challenge for the cataract surgeon, in part because an elastic anterior capsule can make capsulorhexis difficult. With the use of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), however, the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis can be made with predictable size, circular shape, centration, and accuracy. In addition, topical anesthesia can be used for the FLACS docking procedure in cooperative children above 6 years of age, using transparent adhesive polyurethane film segments.

Comparison of biometric measurements obtained by the Verion Image-Guided System versus the auto-refracto-keratometer.

Purpose: To compare the biometric measurements obtained from the Verion Image-Guided System to those obtained by auto-refracto-keratometer in normal eyes.

Methods: This is a prospective, observational, comparative study conducted at the Asociación para Evitar la Ceguera en México I.A.

High-cylinder acrylic toric intraocular lenses: a case series of eyes with cataracts and large amounts of corneal astigmatism.

Purpose: To examine the stability and efficacy of high-cylinder power AcrySof toric intraocular lenses (IOLs), models SN60T6, SN60T7, SN60T8, and SN60T9 (Alcon Laboratories Inc).

Methods: Eligible eyes had cataract and symmetric corneal astigmatism > 2.25 diopters (D).

Secondary Bilateral Angle Closure Glaucoma due to Topiramate.

We examined a 39-year-old female with severe headache and blurred vision. She was on topiramate, 50 mg once a day for one week because of migraine. Periorbital edema, chemosis, myopia, high intraocular pressures, and shallow anterior chambers were present at the initial examination.

Posterior capsule opacification and neovascularization treated with intravitreal bevacizumab and Nd:YAG capsulotomy.

We reported a 75-year-old diabetic man, who developed opacification and neovascularization of the posterior capsule after extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. The patient was treated with two injections of 2.5 mg of intravitreal bevacizumab.

Inhibition of surgically induced miosis and prevention of postoperative macular edema with nepafenac.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic administration of nepafenac 0.1% in maintaining mydriasis and in preventing postoperative macular edema following cataract surgery.

Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, single-masked comparative study in 60 patients undergoing phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
