Purpose: To compare a new optical biometer device, Galilei G6 (Ziemer, Port, Switzerland), with the present optical biometer, Lenstar LS 900 (Haag-Streit, Koeniz, Switzerland), for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation.
Methods: One hundred forty eyes of 140 cataract patients were evaluated with two optical biometers: the Galilei G6 and the Lenstar. The mean keratometry (K), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), crystalline lens thickness (LT), white-to-white (WTW), and IOL powers using the SRK/T, Holladay 1, Hoffer Q, and Haigis formulas were compared. The intrasession repeatability of the Galilei G6 measurements was assessed in 25 eyes.
Results: All ocular parameters measured by the Galilei G6 were highly repeatable (all intraclass correlation coefficients > 0.980). Although K and ACD did not show statistical differences between the two devices (all p > 0.05), the measurements for AL, LT, and WTW were statistically different for the two devices. The K, AL, ACD, LT, and WTW showed good correlations (r = 0.975, 0.998, 0.973, 0.946, and 0.710, respectively; all p < 0.001); however, the agreements of LT and WTW were not good between the two devices. The IOL powers using four formulas did not show statistical differences (all p > 0.05); however, agreements between the IOL powers were not strong. The ranges of 95% limit of agreements were between 1.54 and 1.90D according to the formulas.
Conclusions: The ocular parameters and IOL powers using the Galilei G6 cannot be used interchangeably with those of the Lenstar in clinical practice.

Aim: To investigate the influence of postoperative intraocular lens (IOL) positions on the accuracy of cataract surgery and examine the predictive factors of postoperative biometry prediction errors using the Barrett Universal II (BUII) IOL formula for calculation.
Methods: The prospective study included patients who had undergone cataract surgery performed by a single surgeon from June 2020 to April 2022. The collected data included the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), corneal curvature, preoperative and postoperative central anterior chamber depths (ACD), axial length (AXL), IOL power, and refractive error.

Background: Induction of labour (IOL) is a common obstetric intervention in the UK, affecting up to 33% of deliveries. IOL aims to achieve a vaginal delivery prior to spontaneous onset of labour to prevent harm from ongoing pregnancy complications and is known to prevent stillbirths and reduce neonatal intensive care unit admissions. However, IOL doesn't come without risk and overall, 20% of mothers having an induction will still require a caesarean section birth and in primiparous mothers this rate is even higher.

Purpose: Severely myopic eyes have been associated with high posterior capsule opacification (PCO) incidence. Although it has been reported that myopic eyes have weaker or more delayed capsule adhesion than emmetropic eyes, it is unclear whether/how dioptric power and posterior curvature of IOLs affect IOLs' affinity for the posterior lens capsule (PLC) and their PCO potential.
Methods: To investigate this, acrylic foldable IOLs with increasing dioptric power of 6.
