The Clinical Relationship of Anterior Capsular Tears and Vertical Spacing in the Femtosecond Laser Capsulotomy Procedure.

Purpose: To evaluate the frequency of anterior capsule tears and capsule edge irregularities in femtosecond laser anterior capsulotomy, including the effect of optimized vertical spacing settings.

Methods: Three thousand eight hundred thirty-four cases were examined and grouped according to the femtosecond laser capsulotomy settings using manufacturer default settings with a vertical spacing of 10, 15, and 20 µm. Capsulotomy edge irregularities and anterior capsule tears were recorded intraoperatively.

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.
