Purpose: To compare the efficacy of Kane formula with Sanders Retzlaff Kraff/Theoretical (SRK/T) and Barrett Universal II in predicting intraocular lens (IOL) power in Indian eyes.

Methods: This retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care eye hospital. Data from patients having uneventful cataract surgery with Tecnis ZCB00 IOL implantation were obtained from Lenstar and electronic medical records.

Purpose: To compare 1-year visual and tomographic outcomes of topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (TGPRK) and topography-assisted phototherapeutic keratectomy (TPTK) with corneal cross-linking (CXL).

Methods: TGPRK and TPTK were performed in 72 eyes (68 patients) and 74 eyes (71 patients), respectively. Based on the TGPRK ablation plan, the eyes underwent TPTK where the theoretical minimum corneal thickness (MCT) after surgery was less than 400 µm.

Purpose: Aberrant inflammation and immune dysregulation are known pathogenic contributors in dry eye disease (DED). Aim of the study was to determine the proportions of immune cell subsets on the ocular surface (OS) of DED patients.

Methods: 15 healthy controls (22 eyes) and 48 DED subjects (36 eyes with evaporative DED - EDED; 60 eyes with aqueous deficient DED - ADED) were included in the study.

The purpose was to determine the optimum negative spherical aberration induction required to improve near and intermediate visual acuity (VA) of presbyopic eyes. A total of 174 normal and diabetic (no retinopathy) presbyopic eyes (age ≥ 40 years) were measured with visual adaptive optics simulator (Voptica, Spain). First, baseline uncorrected VA and aberrations were measured.
