This review was conducted to compare the physical effect of aspheric IOL implantation on wavefront properties with that of spherical IOL implantation. The peer-reviewed literature was systematically searched in Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Biosis, and the Cochrane Library according to the Cochrane Collaboration method. Inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials comparing the use of aspheric versus spherical monofocal IOL implantation that assessed visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, or quality of vision. A secondary outcome was ocular wavefront analysis; spherical aberration, higher-order aberrations (HOAs), coma, and trefoil were evaluated. Effects were calculated as standardized mean differences (Hedges g) and were pooled using random-effect models. Thirty-four of 43 studies provided data for wavefront analysis. Aspheric monofocal IOL implantation resulted in less ocular spherical aberration and fewer ocular HOAs than spherical IOLs. This might explain the better contrast sensitivity in patients with aspheric IOLs.

Objective: To assess the visual quality in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) complicated by cataracts after cataract phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and goniosynechialysis, and to explore the relationship between pupil size and visual quality.
Methods: A retrospective, non-randomized study was conducted, including 65 PACG patients (75 eyes) who underwent cataract surgery with IOL implantation and goniosynechialysis from July 2021 to June 2023, as well as a control group of cataract-only patients. Visual quality was evaluated using objective and subjective methods at least 3 months postoperatively.

An intraocular lens (IOL) replaces the natural crystalline lens during cataract surgery, and although the vast majority of implants have simple optics, "advanced technology" IOLs have multifocal and extended depth of focus (EDOF) properties. Optical concepts are evaluated here, with image contrast, focal range, and unwanted visual phenomena being the primary concerns. Visual phenomena with earlier bifocal diffractive lenses led to alternative diffractive designs (trifocals, etc.

Introduction: Cataract is a leading cause of visual impairment globally and in Malaysia, with surgery being the definitive treatment. While intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) is now less commonly performed due to advancements in surgical techniques, it remains essential in specific cases, such as those with weak zonular support. This study aims to evaluate the incidence, clinical profiles, and visual outcomes of patients who underwent ICCE, with or without intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, at Hospital Melaka, Malaysia, over the past decade.

Background: Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) following primary anterior-chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) implantations is commonly seen. Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) injections have shown significant improvement in visual acuity and retinal thickness in refractory pseudophakic CME. Pseudohypopyon following IVTA injection is a known entity.
