Article Abstract
Background: Reducing refractive error has always been a tricky problem. The aim of this study was to verify the correlation between binocular refractive error (RE) after sequential cataract surgery and explore an individualized calculation method of intraocular lens (IOL) for the second eye.
Methods: This was a prospective study. One hundred eighty-eight affected eyes in 94 age-related cataract patients who underwent sequential cataract surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology, Tangdu Hospital, China, were recruited. Complete case data were included for a correlation analysis of binocular RE. Data obtained in patients with RE values greater than 0.50 diopters (D) in the first eye were extracted and the patients divided randomly into two groups: Group A and B. In the adjustment group, group A, we modified the IOL power for the second eyes as 50% of the RE of the first eye. In group B, the control group, there was no modification. The mean absolute refractive error (MARE) values of the second eyes were evaluated one month after surgery.
Results: The correlation coefficient of the binocular RE after sequential cataract surgery was 0.760 (P < 0.001). After the IOL power of the second eyes was adjusted, the MARE of the second eyes was 0.57 ± 0.41 D, while the MARE of the first eyes was 1.18 ± 0.85 D, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Binocular REs were positively correlated after sequential cataract surgery. The RE of the second eye can be reduced by adjusting the IOL power based on 50% of the postoperative RE of the first eye.

Visual training system 4: a promising adjuvant therapy for ocular accommodative function and visual acuity improvement in refractive amblyopia patients.
Am J Transl Res

Department of Ophthalmology, Huizhou Third People's Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University Huizhou 516000, Guangdong, China.
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Visual Training System 4 (VTS4) as an adjunctive therapy for patients with refractive amblyopia.
Method: A total of 82 patients with refractive amblyopia (142 eyes) treated at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University, were enrolled and divided into two groups based on the treatment protocol. The control group included 40 patients (68 eyes) who received conventional comprehensive treatment, while the observation group was comprised of 42 patients (74 eyes) treated with VTS4 in addition to conventional therapy.
Changes in the effective optical zone following hyperopic keratorefractive lenticule extraction.

Eye Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Objective: To evaluate the longitudinal changes in the effective optical zone (EOZ) following hyperopic keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) and investigate factors influencing the EOZ.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 27 patients who underwent hyperopic KLEx. According to the transition zone (TZ) sizes, they were divided into two groups: group A (21 eyes) with a 2.
Importance: For myopia control to be beneficial, it would be important that the benefit of treatment (slowed eye growth) is not lost because of faster than normal growth (rebound) after discontinuing treatment.
Objective: To determine whether there is a loss of treatment effect (rebound) after discontinuing soft multifocal contact lenses in children with myopia.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The Bifocal Lenses in Nearsighted Kids 2 (BLINK2) cohort study involved children with myopia (aged 11-17 years at BLINK2 baseline) who completed the BLINK Study randomized clinical trial.
Quantification of the Anterior-Centripetal Movement of the Ciliary Muscle During Accommodation Using Dynamic OCT Imaging.

Ophthalmic Biophysics Center, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, USA.
Purpose: Although the lens undoubtedly plays a major role in presbyopia, altered lens function could be in part secondary to age-related changes of the ciliary muscle. Ciliary muscle changes with accommodation have been quantified using optical coherence tomography, but so far these studies have been limited to quantifying changes in ciliary muscle thickness, mostly at static accommodative states. Quantifying ciliary muscle thickness changes does not effectively capture the dynamic anterior-centripetal movement of the ciliary muscle during accommodation.
