Purpose: To evaluate the influence of corneal tomographic and biomechanical indexes on the refractive technique indication.
Methods: A total of 251 eyes from 251 patients interested in refractive surgery were enrolled in this cross-sectional and multicenter study. Previous to the surgeon decision, a preoperative protocol was performed by refractive optometrists, containing four sections: refraction, biometry, corneal tomography and biomechanics.
Purpose. To compare the characteristics of asymmetric keratoconic eyes and normal eyes by Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) corneal mapping. Methods.

Methods: The system consists of a methacrylate support inclined 15° for the surgeon's hand, an area of commercially available aluminum foil, and another one of similar characteristics, where the student performs the technique through some slots that are previously made in the support. In order to evaluate the feasibility of this simulator, data were collected from 65 ophthalmologists performing the technique during training activities.
Purpose: To evaluate and compare optical and visual quality of eyes implanted with spherical and aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Methods: Twenty eyes of 17 patients were implanted with the AcrySof Natural IQ aspheric IOL (SN60WF) and 20 eyes of 15 patients were implanted with the AcrySof Natural spherical IOL (SN60AT). Photopic monocular distance best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was recorded at 6 months postoperatively.
