Purpose: To compare the visual performance in the pseudophakic eye and the phakic eye in four patients who underwent unilateral intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: Four patients presenting with unilateral cataract underwent ReSTOR (Alcon Laboratories, Ft Worth, Tex) IOL implantation in their nondominant eye, targeting emmetropia.
Results: Uncorrected near visual acuity was >20/32 in all operated eyes and best spectacle-corrected distance visual acuity was 20/16 for two eyes, 20/25 for one eye, and 20/32 for one eye. Reading speed was similar between the eyes, but not for critical print size. Contrast sensitivity was lower in the pseudophakic eyes. Wavefront analysis showed no considerable difference in total high order aberrations, coma, and spherical aberration between eyes for all patients.
Conclusions: In young patients with unilateral cataract surgery, unilateral multifocal IOL implantation provides satisfactory visual acuity and may be considered an alternative treatment option in this patient population.

One-Year Outcomes in Subjects Developing Macular Neovascularization While Undergoing Avacincaptad Pegol Therapy for Geographic Atrophy.
Clin Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, New Vision Eye Center, Vero Beach, FL, USA.
Purpose: To assess the 12-month outcomes in subjects developing macular neovascularization (MNV) during intravitreal avacincaptad pegol (IVA) treatment for geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: This research was conducted as a case-controlled, retrospective study of AMD subjects undergoing IVA treatment for GA from two private practice institutions. Subjects were divided into 1) a Study Group of patients who developed MNV and then underwent anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy during the study period, and 2) a Control Group of patients who were complication-free during the study period.
Effect of size of capsulorhexis on the outcome of cataract surgery: a protocol for systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.

Introduction: In the era of functional intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, it is crucial to investigate the influence of different capsulorhexis sizes (including the diameter of the capsulorhexis, area of the anterior capsule opening, anterior capsule coverage, centration and circularity of the capsulorhexis) on the postoperative outcomes (eg, visual acuity, capsule shrinkage, IOL stability and intraocular pressure) in patients undergoing cataract surgery. This is particularly important in patients with high myopia or diabetes mellitus. The proposed protocol aims to enhance the transparency of our research and offer references for future studies.

Introduction: Diabetic macular oedema (DMO), a serious ocular complication of diabetic retinopathy (DR), is a leading cause of vision impairment worldwide. If left untreated or inadequately treated, DMO can lead to irreversible vision loss and blindness. Intravitreal injections using antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) and laser are the current standard of treatment for DMO.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive accuracy of various machine learning (ML) statistical models in forecasting postoperative visual acuity (VA) outcomes following macular hole (MH) surgery using preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters.
Methods: This retrospective study included 158 eyes (151 patients) with full-thickness MHs treated between 2017 and 2023 by the same surgeon and using the same intraoperative surgical technique. Data from electronic medical records and OCT scans were extracted, with OCT-derived qualitative and quantitative MH characteristics recorded.

Background: This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of cases that is related to the response rate of adalimumab (ADA) treatment.
Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for pediatric patients with non-infectious uveitis undergoing ADA treatment for a minimum of six months. The patients were stratified into two groups: those with anterior segment inflammation (ASI+) and those without anterior segment inflammation (ASI-).
