Introduction: The aim of this prospective study was to compare the visual functions of extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses (EDOF IOLs) and monofocal IOLs in eyes with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: Cataractous eyes with POAG controlled using medical treatments, no central visual field defects, and mean deviation (MD) values of -10 dB or better on the 30-2 test grid of the Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm standard program were included. Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients received EDOF IOLs (ZXR00V and ZXV150-375; J&J), whereas 24 eyes of 24 patients received monofocal IOLs (ZCB00V and ZCV150-375; J&J).
Purpose: To assess the long-term postoperative visual performance of an apodized diffractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods: Twenty-one patients (42 eyes) underwent cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of an apodized diffractive multifocal IOL. The monocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities, uncorrected, distance-corrected and corrected near visual acuities, and manifest refractive spherical equivalent were measured 1 and 5 years postoperatively.
Purpose: To evaluate the surface light scattering associated with diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and visual function 6 years after implantation.
Setting: Private practice.
Design: Retrospective comparative case series.
Purpose: To observe changes, such as diffuse lamellar keratitis, at the corneal interface when metal particles from microkeratome blades were left in rabbit eyes.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Tokyo Dental College, Suidobashi Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Methods: Following the creation of a corneal flap with microkeratome, metal particles from a microkeratome blade were placed at the corneal interface in 14 rabbit eyes.
