Optical quality in eyes with aspheric intraocular lenses and in younger and older adult phakic eyes: comparative study.

Purpose: To compare ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs) in eyes with aspheric intraocular lenses (IOL) and in phakic eyes.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Military Health Service Institute, Warsaw, Poland.

Methods: Higher-order aberrations with a 5.

Apodized diffractive versus refractive multifocal intraocular lenses: optical and visual evaluation.

Purpose: To evaluate the optical and visual performance after implantation of refractive or apodized diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Setting: Military Health Service Institute, Warsaw, Poland.

Methods: Uncorrected distance visual acuity, best distance-corrected visual acuity, best distance-corrected near visual acuity, distance contrast sensitivity under photopic conditions (CSV-1000), residual refractive error, and wavefront aberrations (LADARWave Hartmann-Shack wavefront analyzer) were measured in 23 patients who had bilateral implantation of the AcrySof ReSTOR SN60D3 IOL and 23 patients who had bilateral implantation of the ReZoom IOL.

Comparison of higher order aberrations with spherical and aspheric IOLs compared to normal phakic eyes.

Purpose: To compare higher order aberrations (HOA) in AcrySof SN60AT and Acrysof IQ SN60WF intraocular lenses (IOLs) and natural crystalline lenses in an age-matched population.

Methods: Sixty-nine eyes of 55 patients were examined. Group I included AcrySof spheric lenses, group II AcrySof aspheric lenses, and group III included patients with the natural crystalline lens.

[Higher order aberrations in physiological optical system--own experience].

Purpose: To assess higher order aberrations in the physiological optical system in relation to pupil diameter and age of people studied.

Material And Methods: The study comprised 235 eyes of 122 subjects (67 women and 55 men) (mean age 43.8 +/- 15.

[Multifocal intraocular lenses].

Multifocal intraocular lenses are the new option not only in cataract surgery, but either in refractive surgery. Use of multifocal lenses make patients less dependent on spectacle, than after implantation of monofocal intraocular lenses. In this article we present an actual review of multifocal intraocular lenses.

Comparison of contrast sensitivity after implantation of diffractive lens SA60D3 and monofocal lens MA60BM.

Purpose: Comparison of CSF in groups with diffractive lens SA60D3 and with monofocal lens MA60BM, and applying results to healthy population.

Material And Methods: The study included 3 groups of patients. First group consisted of 10 patients, who have undergone implant surgeries with diffractive lenses SA60D3 in both eyes; second group included 9 patients after implant surgeries with monofocal lenses MA60BM in both eyes.

Multifocal diffractive intraocular lenses in cataract surgery--preliminary report.

Purpose: Evaluation of the efficacy of multifocal, diffractive intraocular lenses in cataract surgery.

Material And Methods: 20 eyes in 10 patients, mean age 64 +/- 9 years, included in the study, undergoing phacoemulsification of the cataract with implantation of diffractive MIOL (AcrySof ReSTOR, SA60D3, Alcon). Follow-up was performed for a period of 6 months.

[The usefulness of thermography in the diagnostics of dry eye syndrome].

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate corneal temperature in patients with dry eye syndrome, and in normal subjects by measuring with infrared radiation thermography.

Material And Methods: Each eye of 9 patients with dry eye syndrome and each eye of 13 normal subjects, were evaluated in this study. The corneal surface temperature was measured during 15 seconds after opening the eye.

[Evaluation of the medial canthus blepharoplasty using the lazy-T method].

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of surgical "Lazy-T" method used to correct ectropion of the lower punctum with the inferior lid laxity and the medial canthal tendon.

Method And Material: Between January 2004 and February 2005, four patients of mean age 67 years (+/-12) were operated with this method. In two patients, one eyelid was operated; the other two patients underwent bilateral lid surgery.
