Anterior elevation maps as the screening test for the ablation power of previous myopic refractive surgery.

Purpose: We classified the Orbscan anterior elevation maps in normal eyes (under myopic, emmetropic and hyperopic conditions) and in those after myopic refractive surgery. We did this classification to demonstrate how Orbscan anterior elevation maps are useful in screening for the existence and extent of previous myopic refractive surgery. Such a classification can help clinicians interpret preoperative and postoperative topographies.

Effect of postoperative refractive error on visual acuity and patient satisfaction after implantation of the Array multifocal intraocular lens.

Purpose: To determine the ideal target refraction to optimize visual acuity (VA) and patient satisfaction after implantation of Array SA40N multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) (AMO).

Setting: Inha University College of Medicine, Incheon, Korea.

Methods: The study prospectively enrolled 188 eyes of 163 patients and assigned them to 1 of 3 groups according to their postoperative refractive status: Group 1 (43 myopic eyes, -0.
