Purpose: To evaluate the repeatability of wavefront measurements using the NIDEK OPD-Scan.

Methods: A total of 179 eyes from 90 healthy volunteers (57 women and 33 men) with no corneal or lenticular pathology and normal visual acuity were enrolled in this study. Mean patient age was 39 years (range: 17 to 85 years). All patients underwent four consecutive measurements by one examiner with the NIDEK OPD-Scan. Total, corneal, and internal wavefront errors were measured and calculated with the device, using slit retinoscopy. Repeatability of the measurements was evaluated for spherical aberration, coma, and trefoil.

Results: The repeatability test revealed a good result for all three higher order aberrations evaluated. The best repeatability values were found for total aberrations, followed by internal and corneal aberrations.

Conclusions: The NIDEK OPD-Scan has good precision in the wavefront measurement of total, corneal, and internal optical aberrations.

Purpose: To compare scanning-slit retinoscopy automated refraction spherical equivalent (ARSE) to subjective manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) in normal eyes with four different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods: A total of 279 pseudophakic eyes that underwent lens extraction at a private center with implantation of either a wavefront shaped IOL (Acrysof® Vivity, DFT015), a nonapodized diffractive trifocal IOL (Acrysof® Panoptix), or a monofocal IOL with negative spherical aberration (Tecnis ZCBOO) or aberration-free (Envista Mx60E).

To assess the agreement and repeatability of scotopic pupil size measurement using 2WIN-S (Adaptica, Padova, Italy) portable refractor in Chinese adults. This prospective non-randomized open-label controlled study assessed the scotopic pupil size of 100 right eyes using OPD-Scan III (Optical path difference) (Nidek Technologies, Gamagori, Japan) and 2WIN-S. OPD-Scan III and 2WIN-S measure pupil size using infrared light and detector, while 2WIN-S measures bilateral eyes simultaneously, OPD-Scan III measures unilateral eyes individually.

Purpose: To investigate the long-term visual quality and rotational stability after the implantation of Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) and toric ICL (TICL) (STAAR Surgical) in patients with myopia older than 40 years.

Methods: This study included 82 eyes of 41 patients older than 40 years with myopia who underwent ICL/TICL V4c implantation. The refraction sphere, refraction cylinder, spherical equivalent (SE), uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity, and anterior segmental parameters were measured preoperatively and at the 1-month, 3-month, and last follow-up visits at 33 to 58 months postoperatively (mean follow-up: 42.

Purpose: To assess agreement between a new aberrometer (Osiris-T; CSO) employing pyramid wavefront sensor technique and Scheiner-Smirnov aberrometer (OPD-Scan III; Nidek) on measuring ocular, corneal, and internal aberrations in healthy participants.

Methods: The measurements were conducted three times consecutively by an experienced examiner. The total root mean square (RMS) aberrations, higher order aberration RMS, coma Z, trefoil Z, spherical aberration Z and astigmatism II Z up to 7th order were exported in both 4-and 6-mm pupil zones.
