Purpose: To evaluate a method of surgically treating presbyopia in hyperopic patients having laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) by selecting excimer ablation optical zone diameters based on the photopic pupil.
Setting: Private practice, Beverly Hills, California, USA.
Methods: This prospective analysis comprised 46 patients having hyperopic LASIK for presbyopia. The distance-dominant eye was treated with a standard 6.0 mm optical and 9.0 mm outer zone for full distance correction with no nomogram adjustment from the final preoperative manifest refraction. In the nondominant eye, an algorithm was used to select the optical and blend zone diameters and the optical zone size-dependent programmed amount of correction augmentation. Variables evaluated at the 6-month postoperative visit included preoperative and postoperative manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE), refractive cylinder, and monocular and binocular near and distance uncorrected visual acuities. Patient satisfaction and spectacle dependence were also evaluated.
Results: In the near-corrected eye, the mean preoperative and postoperative MRSE was +1.10 diopters (D) +/- 1.20 (SD) and -1.30 +/- 0.56 D, respectively, and the mean refractive cylinder, -0.76 +/- 0.91 D and -0.36 +/- 0.33 D, respectively (P<.05). The mean uncorrected near acuity in the near-corrected eye was J10 preoperatively and J1 postoperatively (P<.0001) and the binocular mean uncorrected near acuity, J10 and J1, respectively (P<.0001). The mean uncorrected logMAR distance acuity in the near-corrected eye was +0.38 +/- 0.31 (20/50) preoperatively and +0.36 +/- 0.25 (20/50) postoperatively (P>.05). The mean binocular uncorrected logMAR distance acuity was +0.30 +/- 0.30 (20/40) and +0.01 +/- 0.08 (20/20) (P<.0001), respectively. The mean overall patient satisfaction score was 8.8 (scale 1 to 10). After LASIK, no patient reported using spectacles full time for near or distance and 15% reported part-time use.
Conclusion: Photopic pupillometry-guided LASIK may be an effective option when considering surgical treatment of presbyopia in hyperopic patients.

Anticounterfeiting technologies meet challenges in the Internet of Things era due to the rapidly growing volume of objects, their frequent connection with humans, and the accelerated advance of counterfeiting/cracking techniques. Here, we, inspired by biological fingerprints, present a simple anticounterfeiting system based on perovskite quantum dot (PQD) fingerprint physical unclonable function (FPUF) by cooperatively utilizing the spontaneous-phase separation of polymers and selective in situ synthesis PQDs as an entropy source. The FPUFs offer red, green, and blue full-color fingerprint identifiers and random three-dimensional (3D) morphology, which extends binary to multivalued encoding by tuning the perovskite and polymer components, enabling a high encoding capacity (about 10, far surpassing that of biometric fingerprints).

Comprehending the biosensing mechanism of the biosensor interface is crucial for sensor development, yet accurately reflecting interfacial interactions within actual detection environments remains an unsolved challenge. An operando photoelectrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (PEC-SERS) biosensing platform was developed, capable of simultaneously capturing photocurrent and SERS signals, allowing operando characterization of the interfacial biosensing behavior. Porphyrin-based MOFs (Zr-MOF) served as bifunctional nanotags, providing a photocurrent and stable Raman signal output under 532 nm laser irradiation.

To enhance the tribological properties of the coatings and to inhibit cracking, sandwich-structured composite coatings were fabricated, consisting of a Ni60CuMo/IN718 transition layer and a Ni60CuMo/Ni-coated Cu wear-resistant layer with four different Ni-coated Cu contents. The results indicate that the transition layer inhibits the crack formation in the coating, and the refined grain structure stabilizes its average hardness at approximately 485 HV. Increasing the Cu content in the wear-resistant layer exacerbates the segregation of the Cu-rich solid solution phases and refines the in situ-generated CrC, TiC, and NbC phases.

Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation-Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MALDI-MSI) is a well-established spatial omic technique which enables the untargeted mapping of various classes of biomolecules, including tryptic peptides, directly on tissue. This method relies on the use of matrices for the ionisation and volatilisation of analytes, and α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) represents the most widespread matrix for tryptic peptides analysis. However, CHCA also presents certain limitations that foster the quest for novel matrix compounds.
