Article Abstract

Purpose: To measure the optical performance of an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL), which provides an imaging solution for near, intermediate, and distance ranges, and to compare its optical performance to available bifocal IOLs with various extents of decentration and astigmatism aberrations.

Methods: A special profile that performs interference principle-based focal extension is engraved on the top of a monofocal rigid IOL. An optical bench based on the L&B eye model was used to test the performance in comparison with the bifocal AcrySof ReSTOR SA60D3 lens (Alcon Laboratories Inc).

Results: The imaging performances at near, intermediate, and distance ranges were mapped. Different decentration parameters and amount of astigmatism aberration were tested. In numerical simulations and the experimental bench, the EDOF IOL was demonstrated to have good visual acuity in near, intermediate, and distance ranges as well as reduced sensitivity to decentration of up to 0.75 mm and the capability of correcting astigmatism aberrations of up to 1.00 diopter.

Conclusions: Extended depth of focus technology is capable of providing clear and focused vision at near, intermediate, and distance ranges. Its high quality imaging is obtained under large decentration conditions and residual astigmatism. This capability broadens the potential use of the technology beyond its application as a simultaneous multifocal lens.

A new series of 222 adelite-type Co(GeO)(OH) ( = La-Sm) single crystals were grown by a high-temperature, high-pressure hydrothermal method (650 °C and 100 MPa). Single-crystal diffraction refinements yielded chiral one-dimensional (1D) chains of Co along the axis with an average 2.98 Å separation between Co centers in the [CoO(OH)] ribbon chains.

Background/objectives: Very high-power and short-duration (vHPSD) ablation with QDOT MICRO™ facilitates speedy and safe ablation for pulmonary vein isolation. A brief time interval between ablating two neighboring sites with vHPSD may potentially influence the size and geometry of the lesions. This study evaluates lesion formation when delivering adjacent applications using vHPSD at various inter-lesion times (ILTs).

Schistosomiasis, caused by the infection with Schistosoma japonicum, remains a significant public health concern in China. As the sole intermediate host of S. japonicum, the breeding and spread of Oncomelania hupensis contribute significantly to the potential risk of disease occurrence and transmission.

Although microenvironments surrounding single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been widely demonstrated to have a remarkable effect on their catalytic performances, it remains unclear whether the local structure beyond the secondary coordination shells works as well or not. Herein, we employed a series of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with well-defined and tunable second-beyond coordination spheres as model SAC electrocatalysts to discuss the influence of long-distance structure on the ammonia synthesis from nitrate, which were synthesized and denoted as Cu-NDI-X (X = NMe, H, F). It is first experimentally confirmed that the remote substitution of function groups beyond the secondary coordination sphere can remarkably affect the activity of ammonia synthesis.

Department of Ophthalmology, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, 83 Fenyang Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, 200031, China.

Background: To investigate the impact of central corneal astigmatism on postoperative visual outcomes in patients with trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Methods: This retrospective study included 278 eyes of 278 patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery with implantation of the trifocal IOL (AT LISA tri 839MP). Patients were divided into two groups according to the total corneal refractive power (TCRP) in 3 mm zone centered on the corneal apex: low astigmatism group, TCRP ≤ 0.
