Purpose: To determine whether patient-customized paraxial eye models that do not rely on exact ray tracing and do not consider aberrations can accurately predict pseudophakic refraction.
Setting: Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, Florida.
Design: Prospective study.
Methods: Cataract surgery patients with and without a history of refractive surgery were included. Manifest refraction, corneal biometry, and extended-depth optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging were performed at least 1 month postoperatively. Corneal and OCT biometry were used to create paraxial eye models. The pseudophakic refraction simulated using the eye model was compared with measured refraction to calculate prediction error.
Results: 49 eyes of 33 patients were analyzed, of which 12 eyes from 9 patients had previous refractive surgery. In eyes without a history of refractive surgery, the mean prediction error was 0.08 ± 0.33 diopters (D), ranging from -0.56 to 0.79 D, and the mean absolute error was 0.27 ± 0.21 D. 31 eyes were within ±0.5 D, and 36 eyes were within ±0.75 D. In eyes with previous refractive surgery, the mean prediction error was -0.44 ± 0.58 D, ranging from -1.42 to 0.32 D, and the mean absolute error was 0.56 ± 0.46 D. 7 of 12 eyes were within ±0.5 D, 8 within ±0.75 D, and 10 within ±1 D. All eyes were within ±1.5 D.
Conclusions: Accurate calculation of refraction in postcataract surgery patients can be performed using paraxial optics. Measurement uncertainties in ocular biometry are a primary source of residual prediction error.

Background: The proportion of female ophthalmologists in Germany has risen to approximately 50% in recent years, and approximately 66% of medical students are women. This represents a reversal of the past situation with a male predominance. Despite this change, many international studies show that women are still underrepresented at scientific conferences, particularly among invited speakers, chairpersons, and program committees.

Purpose: To compare three biometers equipped with swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT), including ARGOS (OCTB1), IOLMaster 700 (OCTB2), and Anterion (AS-OCTB). The primary aim was to assess the axial length (AL) acquisition success rates, and secondary aims included comparing parameters obtained from the three devices and evaluating postoperative refractive prediction errors.

Department of Surgery College of Medicine, University of Baghdad Baghdad Iraq.
Background And Aims: Refractive errors and intermittent exotropia are prevalent conditions in pediatric populations, impacting visual development and quality of life. Despite the co-occurrence of conditions such as myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism with strabismus, comprehensive analyses of their coexistence are limited. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of refractive error among children with intermittent exotropia and find the correlation between the angle of deviation for far and near with factors like mean spherical equivalent and age.

Purpose: To report visual and refractive outcomes and intraoperative and postoperative complications after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with retropupillary implantation of an iris clip intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients who underwent secondary retropupillary intraocular lens insertion combined with pars plana vitrectomy to treat aphakia secondary to a dislocated nucleus lens (group A); or IOL dislocation (group B). Patient demographics, preoperative visual and refractive outcomes, intraoperative factors, postoperative visual and refractive outcomes, and complications within the follow-up period ranging from 6 months up to 3 years postoperative, were recorded.
