Clinical Comparison of a Small-Aperture Intraocular Lens Versus a Monofocal Control.

Purpose: To evaluate range of visual acuity, visual quality, and safety of the IC-8 small-aperture (SA) intraocular lens (IOL) (Apthera; Bausch & Lomb, Inc) in patients with cataract.

Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, non-randomized, examiner-masked, 12-month clinical study conducted at 21 sites in the United States. Included patients (N = 453) received either the SA IOL (targeted to -0.

Safety and Effectiveness of Laser in Situ Keratomileusis Using the Teneo 317 Model 2 for Correcting Myopia and Myopic Astigmatism: Results of the U.S. FDA Clinical Trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new aspheric ablation profile for correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter study included patients who underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using a new aspheric ablation profile of the Technolas Teneo 317 (Model 2) excimer laser (version 1.28 US SW) by Technolas Perfect Vision, Bausch+Lomb, Inc.

Clinical and refractive outcomes after topography-guided refractive surgery planned using Phorcides surgery planning software.

Purpose: To evaluate prospectively the clinical outcomes of topography-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery performed with Contoura Vision using the Wavelight excimer laser and planned with the Phorcides Analytical Engine.

Setting: Four clinical practices in the U.S.

Prevention and management of refractive prediction errors following cataract surgery.

Patient satisfaction after modern day cataract surgery requires excellent surgical technique but increasingly demands superior refractive outcomes as well. In many cases, there exists an expectation from patients, as well as surgeons, to achieve emmetropia after cataract surgery. This is particularly true in patients electing premium intraocular lens technology to correct astigmatism and presbyopia to minimize spectacle dependence.
