Purpose: To compare the visual performance after implantation of the Akreos Adapt Advanced Optics aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) and the Sensar AR40e spherical acrylic IOL.

Setting: Eye Department, Southampton University Hospital, United Kingdom.

Design: Randomized masked single-center clinical trial.

Methods: Patients with bilateral cataract who were older than 50 years with a biometry-predicted IOL power between 10.0 diopters (D) and 30.0 D were recruited. Outcome measures included corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) using a high-contrast logMAR chart, contrast sensitivity measured with the Pelli-Robson chart, range of accommodation using the Royal Air Force (RAF) rule, pseudoaccommodation and mesopic and scotopic pupil diameters measured with a power refractor, and patient satisfaction evaluated using a previously validated questionnaire 3 months after second-eye surgery.

Results: The difference in the mean value between the 2 IOLs (40 patients) was 0.015 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.0009 to 0.070) for CDVA in favor of the spherical IOL, 0.02 (95% CI, -0.0534 to 0.0159) for contrast sensitivity, and 0.05 (95% CI, -1.90 to +2.90) for range of accommodation. Questionnaire results showed no difference in dysphotopsia or patient satisfaction between the 2 IOLs.

Conclusions: Although there were no statistically significant differences in contrast sensitivity, range of accommodation, dysphotopsia, or subjective patient satisfaction or preference between the 2 IOLs, the difference in CDVA was statistically significant, but not clinically important (relative difference 1.5%), in favor of the spherical IOL.

Objective The objective of this study is to compare patient-reported outcome measures using the Catquest Questionnaire in patients undergoing phacoemulsification (Phaco) versus manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS). Materials and methods This descriptive cross-sectional study included patients aged 40 years and older with cataracts classified as nuclear sclerosis (NS) grade 3 or higher. Demographic details were recorded and a comprehensive ophthalmological exam was done.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of a new FDA approved toric aspheric hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens.

Patients And Methods: This is a single surgeon, single-arm, on-label, non-randomized, prospective observational study. Thirty patients underwent bilateral cataract surgery (60 eyes) with placement of a Clareon™ Toric IOL in each eye.

A comparative study of mini-monovision, crossed mini-monovision, and emmetropia with enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tennoudai, Ibaraki, 305-8575, Ibaraki, Japan.

We compared the visual performance and subjective outcomes of mini-monovision, crossed mini-monovision, and bilateral emmetropia using enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). This retrospective study involved 200 eyes of 100 patients who underwent surgery for bilateral age-related cataract using an enhanced monofocal IOL (TECNIS Eyhance). The dominant eye was identified before surgery.

Purpose: Anterior chamber air injection (ACAI) is a surgical technique used to decrease the occurrence of postoperative intraocular lens (IOL) haptic dislocation following phacovitrectomy with gas/air tamponade. The impact of this technique on IOL stability remains uncertain, prompting the design of this study to investigate further.

Methods: This study included 51 eyes of 51 patients who underwent phacovitrectomy with gas/air tamponade.

Visual Performance Correlation with Corneal Aberrometric Profile and Pupil Size After Implantation of a Trifocal Hydrophobic IOL.

Clin Ophthalmol

December 2024

Département de Recherche Clinique, Institut Ophtalmologique de l'Ouest (IOO) Jules Verne, Nantes, France.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes obtained after cataract surgery involving the implantation of a trifocal hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) and to determine if pupil size and the corneal aberrometric profile correlate to visual acuity at different distances.

Methods: 49 patients (98 eyes) underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the placement of FineVision HP IOLs for presbyopia and were assessed at 1- and 3- to 6-months post-surgery. Postoperatively, refraction, monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) and the binocular defocus curve were measured.
