Comparison of vitreous loss rates between manual phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Purpose: To compare the vitreous loss complication rate of manual phacoemulsification cataract surgery with that of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Setting: Mercy Eye Specialists, Springfield, Missouri, USA.

Design: Retrospective single-center case series.

The influence of corrected visual acuity on visual attention and incidental learning in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Visual disturbance is one of the hallmarks of multiple sclerosis (MS), yet clinical neuropsychologists rarely quantitatively assess visual acuity using standardized and norm-referenced measures. This is a significant oversight because disturbances in visual acuity can have an obvious and profound impact on neuropsychological tests which rely upon visual attention and/or scanning. This study investigated the relationship between corrected visual acuity and a widely used measure of visual attention and incidental learning in a group of 35 patients with MS.
