Objectives: To evaluate the impact of scleral contact lens (SL) wear on the visual quality and the ocular surface wettability in myopic patients with regular corneas.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled study enrolled a total of 80 myopes with regular corneas. Subjects were randomly allocated to wear SL or rigid corneal lens (RCL) for 3 months.
Aim: To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of yttrium-aluminum garnet (YAG) laser vitreolysis for vision degrading myodesopsia (VDM) caused by posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed VDM patients of PVD type undergoing YAG laser vitreolysis. The baseline demographic information, the patterns of floaters, the number of floaters, and the subjective improvement of floater sympotoms (ranging from 0 to 100%) from medical records were collected.

Sleep is an essential determinant of health and quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate sleep disorders and symptomatic dry eye (DE) occurrence. This study was a cross-sectional survey of 1393 participants in China.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted for PDR eyes undergoing PPV in type 2 diabetic patients. All patients were divided into three groups based on Chinese Ocular Fundus Diseases Society (COFDS) classification for PDR: Group A (primary vitreous hemorrhage), Group B (primary fibrovascular proliferation) and Group C (primary vitreous hemorrhage and/or fibrovascular proliferative combined with retinal detachment).
Hypertension is the leading risk factor of cardiovascular disease and has profound effects on both the structure and function of the microvasculature. Abnormalities of the retinal vasculature may reflect the degree of microvascular damage due to hypertension, and these changes can be detected with fundus photographs. This study aimed to use deep learning technique that can detect subclinical features appearing below the threshold of a human observer to explore the effect of hypertension on morphological features of retinal microvasculature.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA 23-year-old man developed unilateral corneal ectasia after bilateral small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). The preoperative corneal topography was normal, with a minimum corneal thickness of 582 μm and 586 μm in the right eye and left eye, respectively. The refractive correction was -3.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: To investigate the impact of the orientation of preoperative corneal astigmatism on achieving the postoperative target refraction following monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: This study enrolled 339 eyes who had uneventful cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange (RLE) with subsequent monofocal IOL implantation. Eyes were initially categorized dependent upon axial length and then on the orientation of preoperative anterior corneal astigmatism.
Purpose: To evaluate the influences of preoperative pupil parameters on the visual outcomes of the SBL-3, a rotationally asymmetric multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a surface-embedded near segment.
Setting: Cathedral Eye Clinic, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.
Design: Retrospective comparative case series.
Purpose: To compare the 12-month postoperative quality of vision and visual performance of 2 different refractive rotationally asymmetric multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Setting: Cathedral Eye Clinic, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose: To assess the 3-month and 12-month postoperative visual performance and subjective patient satisfaction after refractive lens exchange (RLE) with implantation of a rotationally asymmetric multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).
Setting: Cathedral Eye Clinic, Belfast, United Kingdom.
Design: Prospective case series.
Purpose: To compare the postoperative quality of vision between different bilateral placements of near segments of rotationally asymmetric refractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and to determine how this affects visual performance.
Setting: Cathedral Eye Clinic, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.
Design: Retrospective comparative case series.
Purpose Of Review: The manuscript presents a review of recently published studies reporting objective and subjective outcomes and preoperative considerations of asymmetrical multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Recent Findings: Current publications suggest that asymmetrical multifocal IOLs provide good, distance, intermediate and near vision for cataract and clear lens extraction patients. The contrast sensitivity achieved is similar to monofocal IOLs.
Purpose: To determine the degree of tolerance toward different magnitudes of residual refractive astigmatism and corneal astigmatism and the angles of corneal astigmatism after implantation of an asymmetric multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).
Setting: Cathedral Eye Clinic, Belfast, United Kingdom.
Design: Retrospective comparative case series.
Purpose: To report improved visual outcome after rotation of an asymmetrical multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 58-year-old patient underwent bilateral phacoemulsification with asymmetrical multifocal IOL implantation.
