Purpose: To determine the effect of the early introduction of cataract surgery training on the complication rates of resident-performed cataract surgery.
Setting: University of California San Diego, San Diego, California, USA.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose Of Review: To update the readers on recent research for further optimizing outcomes and improving the patient satisfaction with multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Recent Findings: Recent studies provide few novel approaches on surgical interventions to improve the postoperative outcomes. The use of capsular tension rings can improve preoperative predictability, whereas femtosecond laser cataract surgery was not shown to provide significant benefit to postoperative visual acuity.
Purpose: To compare the safety and efficacy of wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) vs photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in a prospective randomized clinical trial.
Methods: A cohort of 68 eyes of 34 patients with -0.75 to -8.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy, predictability, and safety of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the treatment of consecutive hyperopia after myopic LASIK.
Setting: Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, USA.
Methods: In a retrospective study, 36 eyes of 30 patients with consecutive hyperopia after myopic LASIK had LASIK retreatment using the VISX S2 excimer laser.
