Purpose: To evaluate the visual and refractive outcomes of trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in eyes previously treated with myopic and hyperopic corneal refractive laser surgery.
Setting: Clinica Baviera-AIER-Eye group, Spain.
Design: Retrospective comparative case series.
Purpose: To assess vault and the decision-making process involved in selecting the size of the lens for the fellow eye in a series of patients who received bilateral phakic collamer intraocular lens (pIOL) implants with central hole for correction of myopia.
Methods: The study sample included all patients who underwent bilateral insertion of a different size pIOL from a pool of 269 patients who underwent sequential bilateral insertion of a pIOL from March 2012 to May 2015 in our institution. Procedures were separated in time to assess the value of the vault and select the pIOL size in second eyes.
Purpose: To validate the Spanish Catquest-9SF and study patient-reported visual function after implantation of a trifocal versus a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL).
Setting: Clinica Baviera, Valencia and Madrid, Spain.
Design: Prospective case series.

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence, culture results, risk factors, treatment strategies, and visual outcomes of infectious keratitis after surface ablation.
Setting: Multicenter study in Spain.
Design: Case series.
Purpose: To investigate the incidence, culture results, risk factors, and visual outcomes of infectious keratitis after LASIK, and examine treatment strategies.
Design: Retrospective study.
Participants: We included 107 613 patients who underwent LASIK at Clínica Baviera (Instituto Oftalmológico Europeo, Spain) from September 2002 to May 2008.
Purpose: To evaluate the visual and refractive results of hyperopic LASIK.
Setting: Clínica Baviera Instituto Oftalmológico Europeo, Madrid, Spain.
Methods: This retrospective consecutive noncomparative observational study evaluated hyperopic LASIK results over 1 year.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in patients with a history of ocular herpes simplex virus (HSV) or herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO).
Setting: Clínica Baviera, Instituto Oftalmológico Europeo, Madrid, Spain.
Methods: In this retrospective case series, the records of eyes with a history of ocular herpes that had LASIK from 2003 through 2005 were reviewed.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of preoperative keratometric power on the intraoperative complications in LASIK for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of 34,099 eyes of 17,388 patients who underwent LASIK for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism using the Moria LSK One manual microkeratome and the Bausch & Lomb Technolas 217 Z excimer laser were reviewed.
Results: One thousand three hundred thirty-eight (3.
Purpose: To evaluate factors that influence retreatment results after primary hyperopic LASIK.
Methods: Restrospective study of 86 eyes of 61 patients that underwent LASIK to correct primary hyperopic spherical equivalent refraction and a second hyperopic retreatment due to undercorrection. All procedures were performed with the Technolas Keracor 217C excimer laser, lifting the preexisting flap for the retreatment.
Purpose: To analyze refractive, visual, and contrast sensitivity outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) performed under thin flaps (less than 100 microm), and compare them with those of conventional thicker flaps.
Setting: Clínica Baviera, Instituto Oftalmológico Europeo, Madrid, Spain.
Methods: This retrospective study comprised 280 consecutive eyes that had LASIK for myopia using the Moria LSK-One microkeratome and the Technolas 217C excimer laser.

Purpose: To analyze the influence of preoperative corneal curvature, postoperative keratometric power, and the amount of correction on the outcomes of hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Setting: Clínica Baviera, Instituto Oftalmológico Europeo, Madrid, Spain.
Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of 376 eyes that had LASIK for hyperopia using the Moria LSK-One microkeratome and the Technolas-Keracor 217C excimer laser were reviewed.
The prisoner population of the penitentiaries presents an elevated prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency type 1 (HIV-1) infection markers. In the last few years different measures have been developed to prevent infection. This study evaluates whether there have been changes in the prevalence of infection by these virus over the last few years within a penitentiary.

Design: A prospective study in which a representative sample of the inmates is included. In each case the anti-VHC and the ALT are studied.
We studied the prevalence of liver disease and the carrier state for hepatitis B (HBV), delta virus (HDV) and HIV-1 infection in two Valencian penitentiaries, one for males and the other for females. Serological results were correlated with history of intravenous drug addiction, alcohol abuse, homosexuality or prostitution (high-risk groups), and duration and number of internments. A high prevalence of increased transaminase levels (52.
