Purpose: To investigate whether using lens thickness measurement as an optional input improves the refractive accuracy of four new generation formulas.
Methods: Consecutive patients scheduled for cataract surgery were enrolled. Preoperative biometry was performed with an OA-2000 optical biometer (Tomey). All patients received the same monofocal intraocular lens (AcrySof SN-60WF; Alcon Laboratories, Inc). The Barrett Universal II (BUII), Emmetropia Verifying Optical (EVO), Kane, and Radial Basis Function (RBF) formulas were analyzed with and without the inclusion of lens thickness as an input. Postoperative refraction was measured at 1 month. The mean prediction error (PE), the median absolute error (MedAE), and the percentage of eyes with a PE within ±1.00 diopters (D) or less were calculated after constant optimization.
Results: The final analysis was performed on 169 eyes of 169 patients. Comparison of the mean PE, MedAE, and the percentage of eyes with a PE within ±0.25, ±0.50, ±0.75, and ±1.00 D resulting from each formula with and without lens thickness did not reveal any statistically significant difference. Cochran's Q test showed a statistically significant difference among formulas in the percentage of eyes with a PE of less than ±0.50 D ( = .042). However, Dunn's post-hoc test did not show any statistically significant difference between any pair of formulas.
Conclusions: Lens thickness measurement did not improve the accuracy of the BUII, EVO, Kane, or RBF formulas. The RBF formula yielded the same results with and without lens thickness, thus making this input useless. .

Background: Refractory corneal edema is the foremost reason for endothelial corneal transplantation (EK) in the world. Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) offer good clinical outcomes. However, human donor tissue is limited in availability and has a complex logistical chain.

Purpose: Ozurdex is a dexamethasone intravitreal implant approved for the treatment of macular edema secondary to branch or central retinal vein occlusion, non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye, and diabetic macular edema.
Patients And Methods: We report a case of an accidental injection of the implant into the crystalline lens, successfully managed by surgery afterwards. The case description is supported by Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) images.

Purpose: To investigate the prognostic ability of blink rate and the proportion of incomplete blinking to predict dry eye disease diagnosis, as defined by the TFOS DEWS II criteria.
Methods: A total of 453 community residents (282 females, 171 males; mean ± SD age, 37 ± 19 years) were recruited in an investigator-masked, prospective registry-based, cross-sectional, prognostic study. Dry eye symptomology, tear film quality, and ocular surface characteristics were assessed in a single clinical session, and blink parameters evaluated by an independent masked observer.

Purpose: To investigate changes in fluid reservoir turbidity parameters over time and its influence on visual performance in eyes with ocular surface disorders (OSD) wearing scleral contact lenses (SL).
Methods: Thirteen eyes with OSD were assessed for corrected distance visual acuity, contrast sensitivity (CS) and fluid reservoir turbidity using anterior segment optical coherence tomography at baseline, after 5 min and 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h of SL wear on day 1 and after 1 month.

Background: The maximum accommodative range is a useful indication of visual function. It decreases with age, but the exact cause of this decrease is not fully understood. It is associated with the increasing rigidity of the lens and changes to the lens shape, as well as the geometry of the zonular attachments.
