Purpose: This study seeks to investigate the in vivo corneal biomechanical response to femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) combined with accelerated corneal crosslinking (LASIK-Xtra) compared to conventional FS-LASIK (convLASIK) in highly myopic eyes.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe-University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Design: A prospective, randomized fellow eye-controlled clinical trial.
Purpose: To determine the visual outcomes and safety 12 months after implantation of the Presbia Flexivue Microlens refractive corneal inlay.
Methods: In this prospective, non-randomized trial, 22 patients with a mean age of 52.54 ± 2.
Purpose: To evaluate if anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) measured by two different devices are affected by different eye lengths.
Methods: ACD and LT of 251 eyes (44 hyperopic, 60 myopic, 147 emmetropic) of 173 patients received with an iOCT-guided femtosecond laser-assisted lens surgery (FLACS) and the IOL Master 700 were compared.
Results: ACD measured with the IOL Master 700 was -0.
Purpose: To investigate the self-rated quality of vision (SQV) and optical phenomena intensity of 3 diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (mIOLs).
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany.
Design: Prospective comparative case series.
Purpose: To evaluate visual performance and patient-reported outcomes after bilateral implantation of a new nondiffractive wavefront-shaping extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) intraocular lens (IOL).
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Design: Prospective, single-arm, single-center study.
Purpose: To compare agreement of anterior segment parameter measurements using an intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) of a femtosecond laser (LenSx) during interface docking to the eye with preoperative Scheimpflug tomography (Pentacam AXL) and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) (IOLMaster 700).
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Design: Retrospective study.
Purpose: To evaluate factors that influence postoperative satisfaction in patients with diffractive extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) and multifocal intraocular lenses (mIOLs).
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Design: Observational case study.
Purpose: To compare the effective lens position (ELP), anterior chamber depth (ACD) changes, and visual outcomes in patients with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) after cataract surgery.
Design: Prospective, randomized, fellow-eye controlled clinical case series.
Methods: This prospective comparative case series enrolled 56 eyes of 56 consecutive patients with (n = 28) or without PEX (n = 28) and clinically significant cataract who underwent standard phacoemulsification and were implanted with single-piece acrylic posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Purpose: To evaluate the visual performance after bilateral implantation of a toric diffractive aspheric multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a +2.17 diopters (D) (60 cm) intermediate and a +3.25 D (40 cm) addition (add) power.

Setting: Goethe-University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Design: Prospective, nonrandomized trial.
Purpose: To evaluate the defocus curves of 4 presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Design: Prospective case series.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of femtosecond (fs) laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) combined with accelerated corneal cross-linking (LASIK Xtra) compared to conventional fs-LASIK (convLASIK) in high myopic patients.
Design: Prospective, randomized, fellow-eye controlled clinical trial.
Methods: Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt/Germany.
Purpose: To evaluate the visual performance of an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) for patient selection.
Methods: This prospective non-comparative case series evaluated fifty-two eyes (26 patients) after bilateral implantation of the Tecnis Symfony IOL. Exclusion criteria were previous ocular surgeries, corneal astigmatism of >1.
Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes of 2 diffractive intraocular lenses (IOLs), a panfocal model and a trifocal model, after femtosecond laser-assisted lens surgery.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Design: Prospective comparative case series.
Purpose: To report visual and refractive outcomes after implantation of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in highly myopic patients.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose: To evaluate visual outcomes, with particular attention to intermediate visual acuity (VA), of a segmental refractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with optimized depth of focus (DoF).
Design: Prospective, nonrandomized, noncomparative case series.
Methods: Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt/Germany.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of fragmentation patterns (pie pattern versus grid pattern) on effective phacoemulsification time (EPT).
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose: To evaluate visual performance after implantation of a quadrifocal intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods: Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany.
Study Population: Twenty-seven patients (54 eyes) received bilateral implantation of the PanOptix IOL (AcrySof IQ PanOptixTM; Alcon Research, Fort Worth, Texas, USA) pre-enrollment.
