Impact of personality characteristics on patient satisfaction after multifocal intraocular lens implantation: results from the "happy patient study".

Purpose: This prospective multicenter study assessed personality characteristics that may influence patient satisfaction after implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs).

Methods: One hundred eighty-three patients who underwent bilateral implantation of different MIOLs were enrolled. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity for distance and near (ie, UDVA, UNVA, CDVA, and CNVA) were assessed preoperatively and 3 and 6 months after implantation.

[Vitreous body and retinal vein occlusion].

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the adhesion status of the posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) towards the internal limiting membrane (ILM) has an impact on the development of retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Material And Methods: In a retrospective analysis the operation protocols of 238 eyes receiving pars plana vitrectomy (ppV) and radial optic neurotomy (RON) for central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) or ppV in combination with arteriovenous sheathotomy (AVS) for branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) were evaluated with respect to the intraoperative status of posterior vitreous body adhesion. The results were compared with age-matched healthy controls.

Tilt and decentration of an intraocular lens implanted in the ciliary sulcus after capsular bag defect during cataract surgery.

Purpose: To determine the impact of ciliary sulcus implantation after capsular bag defect on tilt and decentration of foldable intraocular lenses (IOL) measured by a novel device.

Methods: This prospective noncomparative single-center investigation included patients (N = 10) older than age 60 who underwent cataract surgery with a posterior capsular bag defect and implantation of a threepiece hydrophilic aberration neutral IOL (OphthalmoPro AC 7013) in the ciliary sulcus. All eyes (N = 10) were examined using the OPD-Scan II (Nidek).

[Functional results with two multifocal intraocular lenses with different near addition].

Background: The reduction of the near addition of multifocal intraocular lenses from +4 D to +3 D should improve the visual function in the intermediate distance. The ReSTOR +3 D is a multifocal lens with a near addition of 3 D.

Patients And Methods: In a prospective study the new ReSTOR +3 D was compared to the former ReSTOR platform with 4 D near addition.
