Revisiting the Visual Acuity Curves. A Proposed Methodology for the Evaluation of Postoperative Visual Acuity in Presbyopia.

Purpose: To identify the minimally required number of distances of visual acuity (VA) measurements for the reliable estimation of the visual acuity curve (VAC) and area of the curve (AoC) in presbyopia correction.

Patients And Methods: The study was divided into a validation and a clinical phase with a total recruitment of 120 participants (120 eyes) who underwent uncomplicated pseudophakic presbyopia surgery with bilateral premium intraocular lenses (IOL) implantation. This study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Alexandroupolis, Greece.

Sodium-Hyaluronate Cystic-like Lesion in the Anterior Chamber Following Cataract Surgery: A Case Report.

This is a case report describing the uncommon finding of a cystic-like lesion and its management in the anterior chamber of a male patient after cataract surgery.

Mix-and-match vs bilateral trifocal and bilateral EDOF intraocular lens implantation: the spline curve battle.

Purpose: To compare the postoperative visual acuity curves following 3 pseudophakic presbyopic correction techniques.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Alexandroupolis, Greece.

Design: Prospective, randomized, comparative trial.

Validation of a web-based distance visual acuity test.

Purpose: To validate the Democritus Digital Acuity and Reading Test (DDART) as a distance VA (dVA) test against a series of prevalent conventional distance vision charts.

Setting: Ophthalmology Department, University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Alexandroupolis, Greece; Ophthalmology Department, AHEPA University Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece; and Ophthalmica Institute of Ophthalmology & Microsurgery, Thessaloniki, Greece.

Design: Prospective multicenter validation study.

A systematic review of reading tests.

Adequate near and intermediate visual capacity is important in performing everyday tasks, especially after the introduction of smartphones and computers in our professional and recreational activities. Primary objective of this study was to review all available reading tests both conventional and digital and explore their integrated characteristics. A systematic review of the recent literature regarding reading charts was performed based on the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Springer databases between February and March 2021.

Development and Validation of the First Smart TV-Based Visual Acuity Test: A Prospective Study.

(1) Background: While smartphones are among the primary devices used in telemedical applications, smart TV healthcare apps are not prevalent despite smart TVs' penetrance in home settings. The present study's objective was to develop and validate the first smart TV-based visual acuity (VA) test (Democritus Digital Visual Acuity Test (DDiVAT)) that allows a reliable VA self-assessment. (2) Methods: This is a prospective validation study.

Impact of personality on the decision process and on satisfaction rates in pseudophakic presbyopic correction.

Purpose: To explore the impact of personality on the decision process and satisfaction rates in pseudophakic presbyopic correction.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, Greece.

Design: Prospective, comparative study.
