Purpose: To evaluate the quality of an image of a grating target placed in a model eye and viewed through implanted toric intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Design: Laboratory investigation.
Methods: Toric IOLs, SN6AT5 with a cylinder power of 3.0 diopters (3.0 D, Alcon), ST6AT9 (6.0 D, Alcon), 311T5 (3.0 D, HOYA), or 311T9 (6.0 D, HOYA), were placed in a fluid-filled model eye. A United States Air Force test target was placed internally on the posterior surface of the model eye. A flat contact lens or a wide-angle contact lens was placed on the cornea. The contrast and length of the grating targets perpendicular (vertical) or parallel (horizontal) to the flat meridian of the toric IOL were compared with those obtained through aspheric IOLs.
Results: The contrast of the targets viewed through the flat contact lens and toric IOLs in the vertical direction was significantly lower than that viewed through the aspheric IOL at 16 cycle/mm (SN6AT9, P=.002; SN6AT5, P=.028; 311T9, P=.002; 311T5, P =.011) but not with the wide-angle viewing lens at 16, 32, and 64 cycle/mm. The vertical length of the target with a flat contact lens was longer and the horizontal length was shorter than that through the aspheric IOL by 1% to 3% with the SN6AT5 and 311T5 IOLs and by 3% to 5% with the SN6AT9 and 311T9 IOLs. However, the vertical and horizontal lengths were not significantly different through the wide-viewing lens.
Conclusion: Toric IOLs affect the contrast of a grating target viewed through a flat contact lens but not through a wide-angle viewing lens. The wide-angle viewing system is not influenced by cylindrical aberrations.

The development of zero-power moisture-harvesting technology in an unsaturated atmosphere is of great significance for coping with global freshwater scarcity. Here, inspired by Pachydactylus rangei's (Namib sand gecko) ability to evade thermal radiation and harvest moisture, a power-free cooling moisture harvester (PFCMH) is fabricated using the continuous, industrialized micro-extrusion compression molding. A Luneburg lens is introduced in the PFCMH for the first time, endowing it with a high reflectivity of ≈92.

Colored contact lenses have gained popularity among young individuals owing to their ability to alter the appearance of the wearer's eyes. However, conventional lenses containing chemical dyes are susceptible to detachment of the pigment layer, which can lead to corneal damage. In this research, a novel cellulose-based structural color contact lens (SCCL) is presented that enhances aesthetic appeal via a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) layer.

Background Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a common condition affecting individuals who spend prolonged periods using electronic devices. It is characterized by symptoms such as eye strain, dryness, headaches, and neck pain. This study aims to assess the prevalence of CVS symptoms among healthcare professionals, their awareness of the condition, and the effectiveness of various preventative practices.

Purpose: To report the long-term surgical outcomes of acquired ankyloblepharon correction using mucous membrane graft.
Methods: Five eyes of 4 patients (median age, 19 years) with acquired ankyloblepharon were managed using eyelid splitting and mucous membrane graft anchored to the recti muscles on the bulbar surface in the respective quadrant and onto the bare tarsal surface. Outcome measures include a change in the palpebral fissure width, ability to fit scleral contact lenses, visual acuity, and cosmesis.
