Long-term objective and subjective outcomes following bilateral implantation of diffractive bifocal or trifocal intraocular lenses.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the objective and subjective outcomes after the bilateral implantation of a diffractive bifocal and trifocal intraocular lens.

Methods: This is a case-control, single-center observational study which included 27 patients; 16 patients were implanted bilaterally with the bifocal AcrySof IQ ReSTOR+3.0D and 11 patients with the trifocal AT LISA tri 839MP.

Transepithelial Surface Ablation With Mitomycin C for the Treatment of Chronic Central Corneal Scars Following Adenoviral Keratoconjunctivitis.

Purpose: To assess visual and refractive outcomes and recurrence rates of subepithelial infiltrates after corneal surface ablation with mitomycin C (MMC) 0.02% for the treatment of chronic corneal scars following epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and to compare these results with a control group receiving only medical treatment.

Methods: This was a retrospective case series enrolling patients with central corneal scars following epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.

Optical behavior of the eye implanted with extreme intraocular lens powers.

Purpose: To evaluate the induced ocular aberrations after cataract surgery with extreme low- powered and high-powered spherical monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) using a new pyramidal wavefront sensor aberrometer.

Setting: Vissum Instituto Oftalmológico, Alicante, Spain.

Design: Prospective observational comparative study.

Long-term results of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens: Visual, aberrometric and patient satisfaction results.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term objective and subjective results of a trifocal intraocular lens.

Methods: Prospective observational study enrolling 24 eyes that underwent uneventful microincisional cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (FineVision Micro F, PhysIOL, Belgium). After a mean follow-up period of 60 ± 2 months, patients answered the 10-item Near Activity Vision Questionnaire (NAVQ-10) and were assessed for uncorrected and corrected distance, intermediate and near visual acuity, defocus curve, light-distortion analysis, and total ocular aberrometry with a pyramidal wavefront sensor (Osiris, CSO, Italy).

Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Eye Drops for the Treatment of Post-LASIK Chronic Ocular Surface Syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma (E-PRP) eye drops for the treatment of chronic ocular surface syndrome (OSS) following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods: This prospective interventional consecutive clinical study include 156 eyes of 80 patients affected by post-LASIK chronic OSS who were treated with autologous E-PRP 6 times a day as monotherapy for 6 weeks.

Results: Dry eye symptoms improved in 85% of the cases.

[Conjunctival autologous transplantation using fibrin glue in primary pterygium].

Purpose: To assess the rate of recurrence and complications after primary pterygium removal with conjunctival autograft using fibrin tissue adhesive. Secondarily, to compare these results with a retrospective series that underwent the same surgery using sutures.

Methods: A hundred and six eyes of 100 patients who underwent surgery with fibrin glue were prospectively studied, while 58 eyes of 51 patients who underwent surgery with sutures were retrospectively evaluated.
