Decreased visual acuity resulting from glistening and sub-surface nano-glistening formation in intraocular lenses: A retrospective analysis of 5 cases.

Background: To report on five patients with decreased visual acuity due to glistening and severe sub-surface nano-glistening (SSNG) formation within their intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Design: Case reports and analysis of extracted IOLs.

Participants And Samples: We report improved visual acuity when IOLs with severe glistening and SSNG were exchanged for clear IOLs in five patients.

Impact of intraocular lens material and design on light scatter: In vitro study.

Purpose: To determine the typical in vitro straylight levels for intraocular lenses (IOLs) of different materials and designs.

Setting: Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Groningen, the Netherlands.

Comparison of visual results with accommodating intraocular lenses versus mini-monovision with a monofocal intraocular lens.

Purpose: To compare near vision and quality of vision after controlling for pseudoaccommodation in patients with single-optic accommodating intraocular lenses (IOLs) or monofocal IOLs targeted for mini-monovision.

Setting: Clinical practice.

Design: Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial.

Personalized correction of spherical aberration in cataract surgery.

Purpose: To compare contrast sensitivity after phacoemulsification with implantation of the Tecnis intraocular lens (IOL) between patients with a selected preoperative corneal spherical aberration and patients without a selected amount of aberration.

Setting: Private practice, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

Distribution of corneal spherical aberration in a comprehensive ophthalmology practice and whether keratometry can predict aberration values.

Purpose: To determine the spherical aberration of the cornea in the general population and whether keratometry readings are predictive of corneal spherical aberration values.

Setting: Private comprehensive ophthalmology practice.

Methods: Corneal spherical aberration and keratometry readings were measured in 696 normal eyes of patients presenting for ocular examination to a comprehensive ophthalmologist.

Endothelial cell loss after cataract phacoemulsification with Healon5 vs. I-Visc Phaco.

Background: Healon5, the first viscoadaptive agent introduced in ophthalmic surgery, has been judged to be superior to Healon GV in protecting corneal endothelial cells. The purpose of this study was to compare the endothelial protective effects of I-Visc Phaco, a newer viscoadaptive agent, with those of Healon5 in cataract phacoemulsification.

Methods: A total of 96 unselected patients scheduled to undergo cataract surgery at a community-based hospital in St.
