Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to compare how different intraocular lenses (EDoF vs. monofocal) affect visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
  • - 46 eyes from patients with controlled POAG were examined post-surgery to assess the impacts of perimetry parameters on visual capabilities, using various measurements such as corrected distance visual acuity and contrast sensitivity.
  • - Results showed that EDoF IOLs were linked to better high spatial frequency contrast sensitivity compared to monofocal IOLs, highlighting differences in visual function based on the type of lens used.

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.
