This study aimed to analyze the accuracy of the SRK/T, Haigis, Barrett Universal II (BUII), Kane, and EVO intraocular lens (IOL) formulas for normal and long axial length (AL) groups using an ARGOS (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA), which uses the specific refractive indices. We performed a review of patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery with the implantation of an Acrysof IQ SN60WF IOL (Alcon, Inc.) between January 2020 and December 2021.

Observations: A 29-year-old man diagnosed with Crohn's disease and receiving systemic adalimumab therapy, presented with an irregular epithelial surface, superior corneal opacity, subepithelial infiltration, pannus with new vessel ingrowth, and punctate epithelial erosions in both corneas. Changes in ophthalmological findings were checked during regular outpatient follow-ups.
Background: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction after implantation of an enhanced monofocal intraocular lens (TECNIS Eyhance ICB00) in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) who underwent cataract surgery with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, comparative study. In total, 61 eyes of 61 patients with idiopathic ERM and cataracts were included.
: To compare the visual outcomes and optical quality of patients who underwent bilateral implantation of EDOF (AcrySof IQ Vivity IOL, DFT015) for mini-monovision, trifocal (AcrySof IQ PanOptix, TNFT00), or monofocal (AcrySof IQ IOL, SN60WF) IOL. : The monocular-corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuities (CDVA and UDVA, respectively) were evaluated postoperatively at 1 and 3 months. The binocular visual acuity by distance, the binocular defocus curve, contrast sensitivity, and patient satisfaction were examined 3 months postoperatively.

The study included 62 patients who underwent fLASIK and tPRK. Complete eye examinations including keratometry, corneal epithelial thickness, central corneal thickness, and topography were performed preoperatively and postoperatively.

Bacterial and fungal keratitis are often confused in the early stages, so right diagnosis and optimized treatment for causative organisms is crucial. Antibacterial and antifungal medications are completely different, and the prognosis for fungal keratitis is even much worse.

Objective: To compare outcomes of presbyopia-correcting IOLs frequently recommended in clinical practice through a bayesian NMA based on a systematic review.
Data Sources: Medline (PubMed) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched on May 15, 2021, from inception.
Background: We aimed to study the bilateral choroidal thickness (CT) symmetry and difference in uncomplicated pachychoroid subjects using wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
Methods: All subjects underwent a wide-field 16-mm one-line scan using SS-OCT. Bilateral CT was measured at, and compared among, the following 12 points: three points at 900-µm intervals from the nasal optic disc margin (nasal peripapillary area), one point at the subfovea, six points at 900-µm intervals from the fovea to the nasal and temporal areas (macular area), and two peripheral points 5400 and 8100 µm from the fovea (peripheral area).
Purpose: To determine longitudinal changes of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness in patients with non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) without other ophthalmic disease.
Methods: Thirty-three eyes of 33 patients with early and intermediate non-exudative AMD (non-exudative AMD group) and 33 normal control eyes were followed for 2 years, and GC-IPL thickness was measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography at 1-year intervals. The mean rate of GC-IPL reduction was estimated using a linear mixed model and compared between two groups.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of triamcinolone-soaked nasal packing in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR).
Methods: Patients who underwent EDCR between September 2012 and August 2017 were included. They were assigned to triamcinolone (201 eyes) or control (206 eyes) group based on the order of surgery.
Background: Although many studies have reported clinical features, surgical outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), studies focusing on total RRD are rare. In this study, we investigate the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and prognosis of total RRD.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on cases of 44 total RRD and an age- and sex-matched 88 partial RRD.
Purpose: We investigated the wide-field choroidal thickness (CT) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and compared the characteristics of the choroidal layer between pachychoroid and normochoroid groups.
Methods: A total of 120 eyes from 120 normal subjects were included. All subjects were divided into two groups according to the subfoveal CT (≥300 μm, pachychoroid group; <300μm, normochoroid group).
Purpose: To evaluate the difference in the repeatability of automated superficial retinal vessel density and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) metrics according to the measurement area of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: A total of 127 normal eyes from 127 healthy subjects were included. Macular angiography images were acquired from all subjects using the Zeiss Cirrus 5000 with AngioPlex OCTA software.

Purpose: We report the clinical outcomes of retinal capillary hemangioma (RCH) after the application of various treatments.
Methods: We performed a retrospective chart analysis of eight eyes treated for RCH between August 2009 and January 2018. During the follow-up period, the status and progression of the RCHs were checked by fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography, and additional treatments were applied when necessary.
Purpose: To determine the changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL), macular and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thicknesses in patients with acute anterior uveitis (AAU).
Methods: Patients diagnosed with unilateral non-infectious AAU and normal control were enrolled retrospectively. Optical coherence tomography scans were performed during the initial active phase and inactive phase of AAU.
Purpose: To evaluate the changes of axial length (AXL) in eyes with unilateral idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) after resolution of serous retinal detachment.
Methods: A total of 31 patients diagnosed with idiopathic unilateral CSC were included in this study. The changes of AXL according to serous retinal detachment were examined.
