Purpose: To evaluate visual outcomes 6 years after hybrid bi-aspheric multifocal central laser in situ keratomileusis for presbyopia correction (PresbyLASIK) treatments.
Methods: Thirty-eight eyes of 19 patients consecutively treated with central PresbyLASIK were assessed. The mean age of the patients was 51 ± 3 years at the time of treatment with a mean spherical equivalent refraction of -0.
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of different extrinsic and intrinsic parameters on outcomes in eyes with myopia or myopic astigmatism that underwent small incision lenticule extraction.
Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective chart review of three private centers. At last follow-up, 2,564 eyes of 1,524 patients (> 340 patients per center, time span of > 2 years for each center) were analyzed.
Purpose: To compare the postoperative clinical outcomes of single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and femtosecond-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Setting: Bergman Clinics, Utrecht, the Netherlands.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose: To evaluate distance and near image quality after hybrid bi-aspheric multifocal central presbyLASIK treatments.
Design: Consecutive case series.
Methods: Sixty-four eyes of 32 patients consecutively treated with central presbyLASIK were assessed.
Purpose: To analyze the effect of seasonal changes in residual refraction 1-year after corneal refractive surgery using the SCHWIND AMARIS laser system.
Methods: 5740 consecutive treatments have been retrospectively reviewed. For all eyes, aspheric treatments were planned with the Custom Ablation Manager software and the ablations were performed with the SCHWIND AMARIS system (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions).
Purpose: To analyze distance and near vision after a nonwavefront-guided Presby reversal treatment targeting a monofocal cornea in a patient intolerant to multifocality in the dominant eye.
Methods: Case report.
Results: An originally myopic patient treated for correcting distance ametropia and simultaneously alleviating presbyopic symptoms resulted in intolerance to the induced multifocality.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of patient age on the postoperative outcomes in eyes with myopia higher than 5.00 diopters (D) that had laser in situ keratomileusis using the Schwind Amaris laser system.
Setting: Private practice, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Purpose: To analyze simultaneous vision (distance and near) 1-year after biaspheric multifocal central presbyLASIK treatments for hyperopia and myopia with or without astigmatism.
Methods: Patients were treated to correct distance ametropias and alleviating presbyopic symptoms simultaneously. All patients have been treated in Presby aberration-free mode using FemtoLASIK for Sphere from -7.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the short-term effectiveness, predictability, stability, and safety of the Artiflex Toric phakic intraocular lens for correcting myopia with astigmatism in 115 eyes over 6 months.
- At the 6-month mark, 99% of patients achieved uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better, with a majority maintaining close alignment to their intended correction.
- Although there were some minor complications, the lens demonstrated stable visual results and raises questions about pigment deposits that need further research.
Purpose: To compare the postoperative efficacy, safety, and higher-order-aberrations (HOAs) between transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and alcohol-assisted PRK in contralateral eyes.
Setting: Private clinic, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Design: Comparative case series.
