Efficacy of Müller's Muscle-conjunctival Resection With or Without Suturing for the Correction of Ptosis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of Müller muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR) with or without suturing for the correction of ptosis.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of 30 patients (56 eyelids) undergoing sutureless (sMMCR) (34 eyelids) or conventional MMCR (cMMCR) (22 eyelids). Primary outcome measures were the change in MRD1 and vertical eyelid height (VLH).

Toxic anterior segment syndrome after foldable artiflex iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation.

Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) developed in four cases after uneventful implantation of a foldable iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (pIOL). Two cases occurred sequentially in one patient. The TASS subsided without complications in all cases after intensive topical steroid treatment.

Higher-order aberrations after iris-fixated foldable phakic intraocular lens implantation and wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy for the correction of myopia.

Purpose: To compare higher-order aberrations (HOAs) after foldable phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation and wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for the correction of myopia.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Medisch Centrum Haaglanden, Den Haag, The Netherlands.

Design: Comparative case series.

High and low contrast visual acuity after artiflex phakic intraocular lens implantation for the correction of myopia.

Purpose: To determine the effects of Artiflex phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation on best spectacle-corrected high and low contrast visual acuity under photopic and mesopic conditions.

Methods: Forty-two consecutive eyes had implantation of a foldable iris-supported PIOL to correct myopia. The mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction was -7.
