Purpose: To compare visual performance and higher order aberrations (HOAs) based on the position of the near segment in eyes with rotationally asymmetric multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Methods: Asymmetric multifocal IOLs (Lentis Mplus LS-313; Oculentis Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) were implanted with the near segment positioned either inferiorly, superiorly, or temporally. Uncorrected distance (UDVA), intermediate (UIVA), and near (UNVA) visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and distance-corrected intermediate (DCIVA) and near (DCNVA) visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, HOAs, and subjective symptom questionnaires were compared at 1 month postoperatively.

Results: Forty-five eyes from 45 patients were evaluated (n = 25, 9, and 11 eyes in the inferior, superior, and temporal groups, respectively). No significant differences in UDVA, UIVA, UNVA, CDVA, DCIVA, or DCNVA were found between the three groups (P > .05). The temporal group showed the best results in UDVA, CDVA, and DCNVA, but the inferior group showed the best results in DCIVA and UNVA and the superior group showed the best results in UIVA. Contrast sensitivity and the subjective symptom questionnaire also did not demonstrate any significant differences (P > .05). Total HOA and spherical aberration did not demonstrate any statistically significant differences (P > .05), but vertical coma and horizontal coma demonstrated significant differences based on near segment position (P < .001).

Conclusions: The position of the near segment in eyes with rotationally asymmetric multifocal IOLs demonstrates no significant effect on visual performance.

Background: Extended monovision is a novel mix-and-match approach that has been recently introduced. It involves implanting an aspherical monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) for distance vision in the dominant eye, and a bifocal extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL in the nondominant eye. The target refraction for the nondominant eye is - 1.

Article Synopsis
  • Multifocal chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is often characterized by uneven sensory and motor issues, with some cases starting from a single nerve, noted as "monotruncular onset."
  • A study of 145 CIDP patients identified 16 with this monotruncular start, showing that the ulnar nerve was primarily affected, and diagnostic delays averaged 24 months.
  • The findings suggest that monotruncular onset is relatively rare but may progress to more extensive nerve involvement; early treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) appears to help in maintaining a monotruncular state.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different approaches to implanting multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients: a mix-and-match method versus a bilateral method.
  • Patients were divided into two groups, with one receiving a combination of lenses in each eye and the other receiving the same lens in both eyes, and outcomes were assessed after three months.
  • Results showed that the mix-and-match approach significantly improved intermediate vision and reduced the need for glasses compared to the bilateral implantation, suggesting it may be a better option for some patients.

Purpose: Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a rare immune-mediated neuropathy causing progressive, asymmetric weakness without sensory loss. Long-term administration of intravenous (IVIg) or subcutaneous (SCIg) immunoglobulins is the primary therapeutic approach. Despite this, therapy failure can result in a decline in strength, particularly in the hands, impacting daily activities.

Background: Motor multifocal neuropathy is an immunemediated neuropathy characterized by progressive and asymmetric weakness of the distal extremities, without sensory symptoms, and an important feature of conduction blocks. The objective of this study is to comprehensively describe the nosological and pathogenic implications of this neurodegenerative disorder, given the unclear diagnosis of MMN and the significant challenges it poses.

Clinical Cases: We present three clinical cases with a chronic clinical presentation, in which neuroconduction studies were performed, revealing the presence of anti-IgM GM1 antibodies, consistent with the diagnosis of motor multifocal neuropathy.
