Purpose: To evaluate the influence of dry eye disease (DED) in cataract patients on refractive results of phacoemulsification with implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Material And Methods: The study included 24 patients (24 eyes) with early cataract or phacosclerosis who planned to undergo phacoemulsification with implantation of multifocal IOL. Inclusion criteria was preoperative presence of DED.
Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) keratorefractive surgery technique is a laser surgery alternative to common methods that doesn't require laser ablation of the cornea. Despite its novelty, SMILE technique has already demonstrated positive clinical results comparable to Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) and Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK), which led to its widespread application in clinical practice. Compared with other keratorefractive techniques, SMILE has a number of distinct advantage including high biomechanical stability of the cornea, low risk of dry eye syndrome, absence of a corneal flap and associated complications, preservation of corneal epithelium.

Material And Methods: Russian femtolaser platform (1 MHz) was used to form the corneal flap in the main group consisting of 98 patients (98 eyes) with mean spherical equivalent (SE) of -3.73±1.
Unlabelled: The effect of significant changes in corneal power after refractive surgery on the parameters of optical coherence tomography (OCT) has not been sufficiently studied.
Purpose: To study effects of corneal refractive surgery on optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements in patients with moderate and high myopia.
Material And Methods: OCT was performed in 62 patients (62 eyes) with myopia over 4 D before and one month after LASIK.
