The gradual process in which the crystalline lens is cloudy due to the appearance of elements giving rise to variations in the refractive index is known as cataract. Clinical assessment is usually complicated because it considers patient's perception, and individuals with similar development have different visual deficits. This work presents a model which considers the fluctuations in the refractive index as spherical particles produce measurable scatter radial profiles patterns on the retina. Measurements for 2 different wavelengths simultaneously provide information on particle size and a quantitative assessment by measurement of the fluctuations of the refractive index.

Long-term observation of the in vivo safety of a new design of phakic refractive lens.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Fudan University Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital, Shanghai, China.
Background: To evaluate the biosafety, reduction in anterior capsule opacification, and fluctuation in intraocular pressure (IOP) of a new phakic refractive lens (PRL) with a sinusoidal drainage groove design.
Methods: This self-controlled experiment was performed on eight eyes of four rabbits. Each rabbit was implanted with a sinusoidal PRL (PRL-S5) in the right eye and a conventional posterior chamber PRL (PC-PRL) in the left eye.
Bright, circularly polarized black-body radiation from twisted nanocarbon filaments.
Science
December 2024
Center for Complex Particle Systems (COMPASS), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Planck's law ignores but does not prohibit black-body radiation (BBR) from being circularly polarized. BBR from nanostructured filaments with twisted geometry from nanocarbon or metal has strong ellipticity from 500 to 3000 nanometers. The submicrometer-scale chirality of these filaments satisfies the dimensionality requirements imposed by fluctuation-dissipation theorem and requires symmetry breaking in absorptivity and emissivity according to Kirchhoff's law.

Clin Ophthalmol
December 2024
Department of Refractive Surgery, Eye Clinic Sistina Oftalmologija, Skopje, 1000 Republic of North Macedonia.
Purpose: To explore the significance of changes in anterior chamber depth (ΔACD) and astigmatism between 4 and 8 weeks following uneventful phacoemulsification.
Patients And Methods: Anterior chamber depth (ACD, mm), autorefractometry and subjective refraction were monitored in pseudophakic eyes implanted with non-toric IOLs (group 1, SA60AT, n=36; group 2, SN60WF, n=34; group 3, ICBOO, n=16) and phakic control group (n=30, group 4a, for ACD and autorefractometry) over four weeks. Changes in subjective refractions were compared with repeatability in normal phakic eyes (n=30, group 4b).
Kirigami Design Smart Contact Lens for Highly Sensitive Eyelid Pressure Measurement.
ACS Sens
December 2024
Beijing Institute of Ophthalmology, Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100730, China.
Eyelid pressure is a crucial biomechanical parameter for ocular health and refractive status, yet measuring it poses challenges related to flexibility, sensitivity, and regional specificity. This study introduces a novel smart contact lens that incorporates kirigami designs and an iontronic capacitive sensing array to enhance flexibility and conformability. The unique structural composition of this device allows for precise and simultaneous monitoring of eyelid pressure in multiple regions with a high sensitivity and seamlessly fit across corneal curvatures.

- Heterodyne phase-sensitive dispersion spectroscopy (HPSDS) is a non-intrusive gas sensing method that relies on measuring the refractive index near gas absorption transitions, making it less affected by laser intensity fluctuations.
- Traditional HPSDS sensors require calibration with standard gas mixtures, which can be difficult and unreliable, particularly with varying gas compositions; this study introduces a new approach that allows for fully calibration-free measurements.
- The researchers developed a novel analytical model for HPSDS that integrates various modulation techniques and tested it successfully with gases like CH, NO, and NH, demonstrating its effectiveness across different laser types and conditions.
