Background: To prospectively evaluate visual functions and patient satisfaction after bilateral implantation of diffractive continuous depth-of-focus intraocular lens (CDF IOL) compared with trifocal IOLs.
Methods: This investigator-initiated study was approved by a certified local review board (registered: jRCTs032210305). CDF IOL (Synergy, J&J, group S) and trifocal IOL (AcrySof PanOptix, Alcon, group P) were implanted bilaterally in 30 patients each.
Surgical outcomes of toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for 8 years after surgery were analyzed. Data were retrospectively collected in 176 eyes of 176 patients before and 1 month, 1, 3, 5, and 8 years after phacoemulsification and implantation of a toric IOL. Preoperative corneal and postoperative manifest astigmatism was analyzed by converting to power vector notations; horizontal/vertical (J) and oblique (J) astigmatism components.

Methods: A multicenter, hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among outpatients in Japan to ascertain DED prevalence and relationships between DED and patient profiles, including eye disease, DED diagnosis history, and surgical history. DED was diagnosed according to diagnostic criteria of the Asia Dry Eye Society.
Purpose: The effect of travoprost 0.004% on 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) was examined in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG).
Subjects And Methods: This study included 17 patients with newly diagnosed unilateral NTG.
Non-penetrating trabeculectomy (NPT) is effective in preventing numerous postoperative complications encountered with trabeculectomy. Recently, NPT has been modified to further reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) by combining other techniques. However, these modified NPT methods would make the globe even weaker than NPT alone.

Patients And Methods: Subjects were 42 patients with POAG (71 eyes). All were being treated with 3 different topical antiglaucoma eye drops (latanoprost, beta-blocker, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor).
Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) is characterized by acute visual loss which is usually spontaneously restored after a few months. While occasional treatments with local or oral steroids have been reported, these are hardly effective. A 25-year-old man, a Sumo wrestler, was diagnosed with MEWDS, and as he wanted a quick recovery to compete in an upcoming tournament treatment with steroid pulse therapy was initiated 8 days after the symptoms appeared.
