Purpose: To characterize safety of optic exchange using a modular lens.
Setting: 3 study sites, New Zealand, Philippines.
Design: Prospective clinical study.
Methods: Harmoni Modular intraocular lens (HMIOL) with separate base and optic components was implanted in the study eye (monovision target -1.50 diopter). Contralateral eyes received standard monofocal IOLs. Subjects could elect optic exchange 3 months after primary implantation. Adverse events (AEs) and endothelial cell loss (ECL) were assessed through 12 months of follow-up.
Results: 114 subjects successfully received HMIOL and 114 received control lens in contralateral eye. At 3 months, 65 HMIOL eyes had optic exchange because of unsatisfactory visual outcome from high monovision (exchange cohort); 49 eyes received no exchange (no exchange cohort). Exchange, no exchange, and control cohorts reported ocular AEs in 10 (15%), 6 (12%), and 14 (12%) eyes, respectively. No posterior capsular rupture occurred during optic exchange procedures. Short-term (12-month) posterior capsule opacification (PCO) evaluation showed that all eyes had PCO grade 1 or less at 12 months; no Nd:YAG capsulotomy was performed in the exchange cohort. No exchange and exchange cohorts had similar ECL at 3 months vs preoperative baseline (-4.5%, n = 48 and -4.0%, n = 65). In the exchange cohort, additional 2.7% ECL occurred 3 months after optic exchange compared with preexchange baseline; ECL was significantly below the 14% threshold (P < .001) and was 5.8% at 12 months.
Conclusions: HMIOL safety outcomes were comparable with standard monofocal IOLs; HMIOL may provide an effective method for correcting postoperative refractive errors.

This paper focuses on the research background of zeolite-based photocatalytic materials, the role of zeolites in photocatalytic materials, and their application in various fields. It focuses on the critical roles of zeolites in photocatalytic materials and their application prospects. It outlines the mechanisms of zeolites in different photocatalytic materials, including adsorption, structural stabilization, domain-limiting, electric field, catalysis, ion exchange, shape-selective, and solvation, which elucidates the potential advantages of zeolites in photocatalytic materials.

Purpose: To illustrate a technique for the removal of subretinal gas via pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with air-fluid exchange and simultaneous manipulation with scleral depression.
Methods: PPV to remove subretinal gas causing persistent macula-off retinal detachment was performed in one eye, and the results were evaluated in this case report. Ports were carefully placed to avoid puncturing the retina, which was significantly displaced anteriorly past the ora serrata due to the buoyancy of the subretinal gas with the patient in a supine position.

Context: Exploration for renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources has become a major challenge to overcome the depletion of fossil fuels and their environmental hazards. Therefore, solar cell technology, as an alternative solution, has attracted the interest of many researchers. In the present work, the CsXInBr (X = Cu or Ag) compounds as lead-free halide perovskites have been studied due to their direct energy gap in the range of solar energy, thermodynamic stability, low effective mass of electrons, and high absorption coefficient.

Background: The prevalence of age-related eye disorders is increasing with the aging of the global population. Community-based visual health education for the elderly has become a crucial intervention. With the advancement of technology, the application of extended reality (XR), such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), in health education has become more popular.

Pump-probe response of the spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator Sr_{2}IrO_{4} reveals a rapid creation of low-energy optical weight and suppression of three-dimensional magnetic order on laser pumping. Postpump there is a quick reduction of the optical weight but a very slow recovery of the magnetic order-the difference is attributed to weak interlayer exchange in Sr_{2}IrO_{4} delaying the recovery of three-dimensional magnetic order. We suggest that the effect has a very different and more fundamental origin.
