Randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate different intraocular lenses for the surgical compensation of low to moderate-to-high regular corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate vector analysis, rotational stability, and visual outcomes after implantation of toric IOLs with low (<2.25 diopter [D]) toric values (Acrysof IQ SN6AT3 or SN6AT4) and moderate-to-high toric (3.00 D to 6.

Vector Analysis, Rotational Stability, and Visual Outcome After Implantation of a New Aspheric Toric IOL.

Purpose: To evaluate vector analysis, rotational stability, and refractive and visual outcome of a new toric intraocular lens (IOL) for correction of preexisting corneal astigmatism during routine cataract surgery.

Methods: In this prospective, interventional case series, 30 toric, aspheric Bi-Flex T toric IOLs (Medicontur Medical Engineering Ltd., Inc.

Prospective Randomized Intraindividual Comparison of Posterior Capsule Opacification After Implantation of an IOL With and Without Heparin Surface Modification.

Purpose: To compare posterior capsule opacification (PCO) of a hydrophobic acrylic heparin surface modified intraocular lens (HSM-IOL) and an uncoated IOL (UC-IOL) 1 year after implantation.

Methods: One hundred two eyes of 51 patients underwent routine phacoemulsification with randomized implantation of a HSM-IOL in one eye (the HSM-IOL group) and a UC-IOL in the fellow eye (the UC-IOL group). Morphologic PCO evaluation was performed comparing digital photographs in retroillumination using the Evaluation of Posterior Capsule Opacification (EPCO) system, grading the density of the opacification from 0 to 4 (0 = none, 1 = minimal, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe).

Vector analysis of astigmatism correction after toric intraocular lens implantation.

Purpose: To determine astigmatic changes by vector analysis and postoperative refractive and visual outcomes after implantation of the monofocal aspheric bitoric AT Torbi 709M toric intraocular lens (IOL).

Setting: Three centers in Salzburg, Austria, and Alicante and San Sebastián, Spain.

Design: Prospective interventional case series.

Long-term outcomes after monocular corneal inlay implantation for the surgical compensation of presbyopia.

Purpose: To evaluate long-term outcomes of small-aperture corneal inlay implantation for the surgical compensation of presbyopia.

Setting: Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria.

Design: Prospective interventional cohort study.

Intraindividual aqueous flare comparison after implantation of hydrophobic intraocular lenses with or without a heparin-coated surface.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of a heparin-surface-modified (HSM) hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) (EC-1YH PAL) and the same IOL without heparin coating (EC-1Y-PAL) by the flare and cell intensity in the anterior chamber after uneventful cataract surgery.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Paracelsus Medical University Salzburg, Austria.

Design: Comparative case series.
