Purpose: To compare visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after bilateral implantation of a nondiffractive extended vision intraocular lens (IOL) when targeting emmetropia vs mini-monovision.
Setting: Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.
Design: Prospective, randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To report intraoperative performance and postoperative outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and conventional phacoemulsification (PE) in the hands of junior surgeons.
Setting: Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
Design: Prospective single-masked randomized controlled trial.
Purpose: To report a case of late onset corneal decompensation following cataract surgery due to retained lens fragment in anterior chamber.
Observations: A 65 year old female presented with complaint of gradual dimness of vision in left eye since 4 months. She underwent uneventful phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation elsewhere 4 years back.
Aim And Background: In the absence of data providing an overview on the state of the assistant practitioner (AP) workforce, this study surveys trusts in NHS England with the aim of establishing how the role is viewed, used and managed.
Methods: Based on an earlier survey undertaken around a decade ago, an online questionnaire was sent to members of an assistant practitioner network, generating a response from over fifty different trusts, drawn from different regions and health care settings.
Results: The survey results highlight the increased use of assistant practitioners by trusts and in a more diverse range of clinical settings.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of trypan blue on the elastic property of Descemet membrane (DM) by atomic force microscopy.
Methods: Human corneas (n = 10) were obtained from the Illinois Eye Bank (Chicago, IL). The DM was isolated and divided into two halves, one half was stained with ophthalmic trypan blue (Vision Blue, 0.
Purpose: This article is aimed to provide a clinical update on recent developments in cataract surgical techniques, with specific focus on femtosecond laser technology. The article also focuses on recent improvements in the technology used in implanting intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Design: Literature review.
Visual axis opacification after AcrySof intraocular lens implantation in children.
J Cataract Refract Surg
May 2004
Purpose: To evaluate visual axis opacification after AcrySof intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon) implantation in pediatric eyes.
Setting: Iladevi Cataract and IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.
Methods: This prospective study evaluated 103 consecutive eyes of 72 children with congenital cataract.
Diagnosis and management of congenital cataract with preexisting posterior capsule defect.
J Cataract Refract Surg
February 2004
Purpose: To establish and evaluate the diagnostic signs, intraoperative performance, and postoperative outcomes in children with congenital cataract with a preexisting posterior capsule defect (PCD).
Setting: Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.
Methods: This study evaluated 400 consecutive eyes that had congenital cataract surgery, of which 27 (20 children) had a confirmed preexisting PCD.
Purpose: To describe anterior vitreous face behavior when AcrySof (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX) intraocular lenses come in contact with the anterior vitreous face after posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis without anterior vitrectomy in pediatric patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Methods: This study comprised 14 eyes of 12 children whose mean age was 9.6 years (range, 2.
