Purpose: To clinically evaluate the lens haptic plane (LHP) concept in combination with thick-lens ray tracing for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation.
Setting: St. Erik's Eye Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.
Methods: Prospective study of normal cataract cases implanted with Pharmacia CeeOn 809C IOL. Axial length was measured by A-scan. The measured value was first transformed by addition of a constant value to correct for systematic error. Using the transformed axial length and corneal radius measured by keratometry, the LHP position was determined. Knowing the IOL design and the power implanted, expected refractive outcome was calculated and compared to manifest refraction at 6 weeks in terms of mean absolute error (MAE). Thick-lens ray tracing in the paraxial limit was used for the optical calculation.
Results: The mean transformed axial length was 23.87 mm. An LHP position algorithm in linear terms of transformed axial length and corneal radius gave an MAE of 0.38 D. There was no trend with axial length. On the present data, the Holladay 1, Hoffer Q, and SRK/T formulas produced MAEs of 0.39 D, 0.39 D, and 0.41 D, respectively, with optimized formula constants. The differences were not statistically significant (P > .05).
Conclusions: The LHP concept in combination with thick-lens ray tracing achieved MAE comparable to that with currently used formulas. The lack of trend with axial length is important for patients with short and long eyes.

Context: SiGe nanotubes (SiGeNTs) hold significant promise for applications in nanosolar cells, optoelectronic systems, and interconnects, where thermal conductivity is critical to performance. This study investigates the effects of length, diameter, temperature, and axial strain on the thermal conductivity of armchair and zigzag SiGeNTs through molecular dynamics simulations. Results indicate that thermal conductivity increases with sample length due to ballistic heat transport and decreases with temperature as phonon scattering intensifies.

Purpose: This study evaluates the effect of 6° horizontal gaze tolerance on visual field mean sensitivity (MS) in patients with glaucoma using a binocular head-mounted automated perimeter, following findings of structural changes in the posterior globe from magnetic resonance imaging and optical coherence tomography.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 161 eyes (85 primary open-angle glaucoma [POAG] and 76 healthy) from 117 participants were included. Logistic regression and 1:1 matched analysis assessed the propensity score for glaucoma and healthy eyes, considering age, sex, and axial length as confounders.

Background & Objective: Currently, there are many implants in clinical use, making it hard to choose the right one for the patient. The success rate of an implant depends on its diameter, length, and direction of insertion in bone. In implant dentistry, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulates intraoral conditions in vitro and analyzes the effects of implant material, diameter, size, and other components related to oral structure on the implant and peri-implant tissues.

Purpose: Among patients with angle-closure glaucoma, it is common to have a short-axial eye, which also makes it difficult to select an appropriate intraocular lens. Previous studies have focused on the ocular biometry of the long-axial eye, whereas only a few reports have focused on the short-axial eye. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of the short-axial eye on ocular biometry among the elderly Japanese.
