Assessment of Visual Habituation Measured With the Halo & Glare Simulator and Its Impact on Patient Satisfaction Following Quadrifocal IOL Implantation.

Purpose: To evaluate the levels of habituation and its influence on outcome satisfaction in patients who underwent bilateral multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Methods: A total of 24 patients underwent bilateral multifocal IOL implantation surgery with the AcrySof IQ PanOptix trifocal diffractive IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) following cataract extraction or for refractive purposes. Data were collected 3 and 6 months after surgery, which included subjective refraction, corrected and uncorrected visual acuity (distance, intermediate, near), a contrast sensitivity test, simulation with the Halo & Glare Simulator (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG), two visual quality surveys, and a slit-lamp examination by an ophthalmologist.

Impact of lens density and lens thickness on cumulative dissipated energy in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

To evaluate the required cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) to fragment the crystalline lens in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in relation to lens density and lens thickness. Consecutive eyes that underwent FLACS between September 2014 and March 2017 by a single surgeon using in all cases the same femtosecond laser and phacoemulsification platform were included in our retrospective study. Prior to surgery, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), optical biometry corneal, and crystalline lens tomographies were performed to assess anterior chamber depth (ACD), axial length (AL), and crystalline lens parameters (i.

Corneal Densitometry after Femtosecond Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (Fs-LASIK) and Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE).

Purpose: To compare corneal densitometry values after Femtosecond Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (Fs-LASIK) and Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) using Scheimpflug Imaging.

Methods: Our retrospective clinical trial included a total of 146 eyes where 57 eyes underwent Fs-LASIK and 89 eyes underwent SMILE. Examinations with a Pentacam Scheimpflug device (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) were performed before surgery, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery.

[Effect of salinomycin on lambs for fattening].

When applied to male Trakiiska tunkorounna lambs of initial weight 18.6 kg in the course of 90 days at concentrations of 6 g, 12 g, and 24 g per ton of forage slinomycin brought about a rise of liveweight and average weight gain in the treated animals (for the weight gain 12.2, 16.

[Nutritive action of flavophospholipol and virginiamycin on broiler pullets].

Studied were some of the aspects of the antibiotic treatment with flavophospholipol (moenomycin) as the preparation flavomycin, and virginiamycin (staphylomycin) as the preparation escalin in a premix form as an animal formula. It was found that the antibiotics tested acted as nutrients: they had a positive effect on the growth and feed conversion. They raised the production of meat and improved the quality of the meat product in terms of higher protein and mineral contents.
