: To compare anterior chamber stability and surgical efficiency in one-handed phacoemulsification, comparing Ozil and Active Sentry (AS) handpieces. : Observational and comparative study. Selected patients were divided into two groups, AS and Ozil handpieces, and underwent one-handed phacoemulsification.

Postoperative dissatisfaction due to negative dysphotopsia (ND) ranges from rare to very frequent; its etiology is unclear, and it affects postoperative satisfaction. Since one of the most frequently used strategies to avoid ND is related to intraocular lens (IOL) haptic orientation, we conducted a prospective interventional study that enrolled 197 patients who underwent standard phacoemulsification.

Design: A retrospective and comparative study was conducted in one center.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of all patients with a diagnosis of senile cataracts and regular corneal astigmatism, without previous corneal or intraocular surgery, who underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of a toric intraocular lens, who had pre- and postoperative corneal topography, biometry, and refraction measurements.

Purpose: To compare magnification and refocusing during phacoemulsification with the NGENUITY 3-D Visualization System (3-D) versus the conventional microscope (CM) OPMI LUMERA 700.
Setting: This study was performed in the Department of Anterior Segment of the Fundación Hospital Nuestra Señora de la Luz.
Design: Prospective, randomized, cross-sectional, multi-surgeon, and comparative study.
Purpose: To determine the total alpha-synuclein (αSyn) reflex tears and its association with retinal layers thickness in Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: Fifty-two eyes of 26 PD subjects and 52 eyes of age-and sex-matched healthy controls were included. Total αSyn in reflex tears was quantified using a human total αSyn enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit.
Purpose: To evaluate the stability and the refractive error of the different intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery.
Method: Retrospective, observational and single-center study. Patients diagnosed with cataract and myopia who underwent a phacoemulsification surgery with intraocular lens placement without complications were included.
