Purpose: To evaluate the 3-year safety, efficacy, predictability, and stability of iris-fixated toric phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation for the correction of myopia or hyperopia with astigmatism.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, and Department of Ophthalmology, University Clinic, Bochum, Germany.
Methods: A prospective clinical trial of 40 eyes of 23 patients with high ametropia and astigmatism was conducted. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), uncorrected visual acuity, refraction, astigmatism, intraocular pressure, slitlamp biomicroscopy, and indirect ophthalmoscopy were measured preoperatively and postoperatively.
Results: Of the 40 eyes, 28 were myopic and 12 were hyperopic. Three years postoperatively, 70% of eyes were within +/-1.00 diopter (D) of the targeted refraction. In the myopic group, mean preoperative BSCVA was 20/40 and improved postoperatively to 20/25. Sixty-six percent of eyes gained 1 or more lines from the preoperative BSCVA. The mean cylinder decreased from -3.58 D +/- 1.26 (SD) preoperatively to -1.15 +/- 1.01 D postoperatively. In the hyperopic group, preoperative BSCVA was 20/25 and improved to 20/20 postoperatively. Thirty-six percent of eyes gained 1 or more lines from the preoperative BSCVA. The mean cylinder decreased from -3.37 +/- 0.88 D to -1.53 +/- 0.69 D postoperatively. The correction was stable in all eyes 3 years after surgery. No potentially sight-threatening complications occurred.
Conclusion: The 3-year follow-up showed the iris-fixated toric pIOL was effective in correcting high ametropia and astigmatism.

Effects of customized corneal cross-linking on higher-order aberrations in progressive keratoconus and low-grade myopia.
Acta Ophthalmol
December 2024
Department of Clinical Sciences/Ophthalmology, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of customized corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) on higher-order aberrations (HOAs) in keratoconus (KC): vertical coma (VC), horizontal coma (HC), spherical aberration (SA), trefoil (TF) and astigmatism, compared with the same effects in healthy eyes undergoing CXL for low-grade myopia.
Methods: This mixed-designed study included 38 eyes of 38 patients with KC, treated and followed prospectively, who received customized epi-on CXL in high oxygen, and a retrospective control group of 23 eyes from 23 patients who underwent central 4-mm CXL treatment for low-grade myopia. VC, HC, SA, TF and keratometry values were obtained from Pentacam HR® measurements at baseline and at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months post-treatment.

Background: EndoArt® (Eye Yon Medical, Ness Ziona, Israel) is a novel artificial corneal inner layer transplant and an innovative treatment alternative for patients at high risk for graft failure after posterior lamellar corneal transplantation (EK).
Aim Of The Study: We present the initial results of the EndoArt® implantation in patients with glaucoma drainage devices (GDD).
Patients And Surgical Procedure: In this study 12 eyes with GDD were retrospectively evaluated.
Headache Attributed to Refractive Error: Improvement after Topography-Guided Photorefractive Keratectomy with Corneal Cross-Linking in Patients with Keratoconus.

January 2024
Discipline of Ophthalmology, Sydney Medical School, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia.
Purpose: To investigate if topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (TGPRK) alleviates headache, particularly headache attributed to refractive errors (HARE) in keratoconus.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with keratoconus undergoing TGPRK for refractive correction were included. Best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) using the logMAR scale and refractive error were measured.
