Comparison of Anterior Corneal Aberrometry, Keratometry and Pupil Size with Scheimpflug Tomography and Ray Tracing Aberrometer.

This study aimed to assess the anterior corneal wavefront aberrations, keratometry, astigmatism vectors and pupil size between Pentacam HR® (Oculus Optikgeraete GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) and iTrace® (Tracey Technologies Corp., Houston, TX, USA). In this observational study, 100 eyes (50 healthy volunteers) were scanned in mesopic light condition with a Pentacam HR® and iTrace®.

Commercial Slit Lamp Anterior Segment Photography versus Digital Compact Camera Mounted on a Standard Slit Lamp with an Adapter.

Purpose: To compare slit lamp mounted anterior segment cameras (SLCs) versus digital compact camera (DCC) with slit-lamp adaptor when used by an inexperienced technician.

Methods: In this cross sectional study, where posterior capsule opacification (PCO) was used as a comparator, patients were consented for one photograph with SLC and two with DCC (DCC1 and DCC2), with a slit lamp adaptor. An inexperienced clinic technician, who took all the photographs and masked the images, recruited one eye of each patient.

Growth factor restriction impedes progression of wound healing following cataract surgery: identification of VEGF as a putative therapeutic target.

Secondary visual loss occurs in millions of patients due to a wound-healing response, known as posterior capsule opacification (PCO), following cataract surgery. An intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted into residual lens tissue, known as the capsular bag, following cataract removal. Standard IOLs allow the anterior and posterior capsules to become physically connected.

An in vitro evaluation of the Anew Zephyr open-bag IOL in the prevention of posterior capsule opacification using a human capsular bag model.

Purpose: During cataract surgery an IOL is placed within the capsular bag. Clinical studies show that IOLs with a square edge profile and complete contact between the IOL and the anterior capsule (AC) are currently the best way to prevent posterior capsule opacification (PCO). This has been challenged by recent clinical and experimental observations, which suggest that if the capsular bag is kept open with separation of contact between the AC and posterior capsule (PC) by an "open-bag device" PCO is dramatically reduced.

Effect of total lens epithelial cell destruction on intraocular lens fixation in the human capsular bag.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of complete destruction of lens epithelial cells (LECs) in the capsular bag on intraocular lens (IOL) stability.

Setting: School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, United Kingdom.

Design: Comparative evaluation.

Comparison of near vision, intraocular lens movement, and depth of focus with accommodating and monofocal intraocular lenses.

Setting: St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Fellow-eye comparison of posterior capsule opacification between 2 aspheric microincision intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To compare posterior capsule opacification (PCO) between 2 microincision hydrophilic intraocular lenses (IOLs) and with a conventional spherical hydrophobic IOL.

Setting: St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography demonstrates interconnected orbital cyst and chorioretinal coloboma in an adult.

Purpose: To report an orbital cyst underlying a chorioretinal coloboma in an otherwise normal eye, detected by spectral domain optical coherence tomography imaging. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of a chorioretinal colobomatous cyst in the normal eye to be reported.

Methods: A descriptive case report of a patient with a chorioretinal coloboma with an underlying orbital cyst.

Fellow-eye comparison of 2 aspheric microincision intraocular lenses and effect of asphericity on visual performance.

Purpose: To evaluate visual performance and aberrations with aspheric and spherically neutral microincision intraocular lenses (IOLs) and assess the influence of asphericity on visual performance, wavefront aberration, and depth of focus.

Setting: St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Calcification in hydrophilic intraocular lenses associated with injection of intraocular gas.

Purpose: To report a distinct type of calcification in hydrophilic intraocular lenses in complicated, traumatized eyes with a history of intraocular gas use.

Design: Observational case series.

Methods: Three cases of hydrophilic intraocular lens (IOL) opacification confined to the pupillary area are reported from clinical practice in London, UK.

Effect of intraocular lens asphericity on posterior capsule opacification between two intraocular lenses with same acrylic material: a fellow-eye study.

Purpose: To evaluate intra-individual differences in posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and visual performance between spherical AcrySof SN60AT and an aspheric AcrySof SN60WF intraocular lens (IOL) with a posterior aspheric surface, both of which are made of same hydrophobic acrylic material.

Setting: Ophthalmology Department, St Thomas' Hospital, London, UK.

Methods: In this prospective randomized, fellow-eye comparison, an aspheric IOL, which is 9% thinner in comparison with the spherical IOL, was randomized to the first eye of 47 patients and fellow-eye surgery was performed within 3 weeks.

Influence of different acrylic intraocular lens materials on optical quality of vision in pseudophakic eyes.

Purpose: To analyze the effect of hydrophobic and hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) material on the optical quality in pseudophakic eyes with a clear posterior capsule and assess in vitro forward light scatter of these IOLs.

Setting: St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

Complications of cataract surgery.

Modern cataract surgery is safe in more than 95 per cent of patients. In the small number of cases where a serious complication occurs, the most common is an intra-operative posterior capsular rupture. This can lead to vitreous loss or a dropped nucleus and can increase the risk of post-operative cystoid macular oedema or retinal detachment.

A randomized intraindividual comparison of the accommodative performance of the bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens in presbyopic eyes.

Purpose: To compare the accommodative performance of the Morcher BioComFold Type 89A bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens (IOL) with a conventional in-the-bag control IOL in presbyopic eyes.

Design: Prospective, randomized clinical trial with intraindividual comparison.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, St.

Use of the double-pass technique to quantify ocular scatter in patients with uveitis: a pilot study.

Purpose: to assess whether the double-pass technique can be employed to quantify the amount of light scattering in patients with uveitis.

Methods: 56 eyes of 44 patients with intraocular inflammation were consecutively recruited from the uveitis clinic over 9 months. The degree of intraocular inflammation was recorded according to the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature criteria and the eyes were grouped as having anterior, intermediate, posterior or panuveitis.
