Purpose: To study optical aberrations in eyes having uneventful cataract surgery and in-the-bag implantation of an aspherical Tecnis Z9000 intraocular lens (IOL) (AMO) or a spherical CeeOn Edge 911 IOL (Pharmacia) and compare the results with those in a group of phakic age-matched eyes.
Setting: Ophthalmic Unit, Hospital and University of Verona, Verona, Italy.
Materials: Three groups, each with 30 patients (30 eyes), were examined with the Topcon KR-9000PW topographer/aberrometer. Spherical aberration and coma were analyzed in detail for 4.0 mm optical zone. Internal values were obtained by subtracting corneal aberrations from ocular aberrations. Point spread function and modulation transfer function (MTF) were considered for optical quality.
Results: The mean internal spherical aberration Z(4)(0) was -0.048 microm +/- 0.017 (SD) in the Tecnis group, +0.033 +/- 0.026 microm in the 911 Edge group (P<.001), and -0.013 +/- 0.056 microm in the phakic group (P = .149). The mean internal vertical coma Z(3)(-1) was 0.087 +/- 0.056 microm, 0.054 +/- 0.043 microm (P = .005), and 0.044 +/- 0.044 microm (P<.001), respectively. The internal horizontal coma Z(3)(+1) showed a similar pattern; however, total resulting coma was similar in the 3 groups. The mean Strehl ratio was 0.284 +/- 0.166 in the Tecnis group, 0.145 +/- 0.077 in the 911 Edge group (P<.01), and 0.164 +/- 0.097 in the phakic group (P<.01). The MTF curve was better in the Tecnis group (P<.001).
Conclusions: After uneventful implantation, the aspherical IOL yielded better ocular aberration and optical quality results than the spherical IOL. Induced coma was somewhat higher in the Tecnis group; however, the overall results were not affected. Physiologic IOL decentration after correct in-the-bag implantation did not negate the advantages of asphericity.

Longitudinal measures of peripheral optical quality in young children.
Ophthalmic Physiol Opt
January 2025
Northeastern University College of Science, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Purpose: To assess longitudinal changes in optical quality across the periphery (horizontal meridian, 60°) in young children who are at high (HR) or low risk (LR) of developing myopia, as well as a small subgroup of children who developed myopia over a 3-year time frame.
Methods: Aberrations were measured every 6 months in 92 children with functional emmetropia at baseline. Children were classified into HR or LR based on baseline refractive error and parental myopia.

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the subjective and objective visual outcomes following Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) surgery in high myopic patients with varying axial lengths (AL).
Methods: The study enrolled 113 highly myopic patients (202 eyes) who underwent SMILE surgery at Shanghai's Tenth People's Hospital from July 2021 to September 2023. Patients were classified into three groups based on the axial length before surgery: Group A (AL < 26mm, 62 eyes), Group B (26mm ≤ AL < 27mm, 88 eyes), and Group C (AL ≥ 27mm, 52 eyes).

Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, Nanchong, Sichuan Province, 637000, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To assess the visual quality in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) complicated by cataracts after cataract phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and goniosynechialysis, and to explore the relationship between pupil size and visual quality.
Methods: A retrospective, non-randomized study was conducted, including 65 PACG patients (75 eyes) who underwent cataract surgery with IOL implantation and goniosynechialysis from July 2021 to June 2023, as well as a control group of cataract-only patients. Visual quality was evaluated using objective and subjective methods at least 3 months postoperatively.
