Purpose: To evaluate visual acuity, corneal aberrations, and densitometry post deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK).
Methods: Twenty-five eyes of 25 patients who underwent DALK for corneal stromal diseases with normal endothelium were enrolled in a prospective interventional study. Evaluation for corneal aberrations and densitometry postoperatively was performed using Scheimpflug imaging at 6 months. Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (ASOCT) was done for host-graft morphology. Correlation analysis of postoperative best-corrected visual acuity with corneal aberrations and corneal densitometry (CD) was performed.
Results: Big bubble deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (BB-DALK) was successful in 18 patients, while 7 eyes underwent manual dissection due to failed BB (Big Bubble) technique. The mean BSCVA was 1.35 ± 0.46 logMAR units pre-operatively which improved to 0.36 ± 0.19 logMAR units post DALK at 6 months (P < 0.001). The mean Root Mean Square (RMS) (μm) of the magnitude of total corneal aberrations, HOA and LOA from central 6mm zone of cornea were 14.6 ± 9.2, 4.7 ± 2.9, and 13.8 ± 8.8, respectively. The mean anterior (120μm), central and posterior corneal (60μm) densitometry in 0-2mm zone were 25.8 ± 7.7 GSU, 18.7 ± 4.16 GSU and 10.09 ± 3.9 GSU respectively. A statistically significant correlation of postoperative residual stromal bed thickness, total corneal HOA, LOA, total corneal aberrations, HOA front and posterior corneal densitometry (0-2mm zone) with postoperative BSCVA was found.
Conclusion: Though there is a significant improvement in BSCVA after DALK, the quality of vision in terms of aberrometry and densitometry is suboptimal, especially in cases undergoing manual DALK compared to those undergoing big bubble formation.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome of laser-assisted surgical correction of high hyperopic or mixed astigmatism using small incision intrastromal lenticule rotation (SMILERO) alone or combined with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Methods: This retrospective case series enrolled 25 eyes with high astigmatism that underwent SMILERO surgery. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), manifest refraction, central corneal thickness, and corneal higher order aberrations were analyzed before surgery and after 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up.
Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes, surgical workflow, and patient satisfaction following small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) performed with the VisuMax 800 in one eye and the VisuMax 500 in the contralateral eye (both Carl Zeiss Meditec).
Methods: This was a prospective, single-site clinical study of patients undergoing SMILE for myopia and myopic astigmatism between February 2022 and August 2023. Each patient underwent bilateral treatment using the VisuMax 800 (VM800 group) in one eye and the VisuMax 500 (VM500 group) in the contralateral eye.
Visual Performance Correlation with Corneal Aberrometric Profile and Pupil Size After Implantation of a Trifocal Hydrophobic IOL.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes obtained after cataract surgery involving the implantation of a trifocal hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) and to determine if pupil size and the corneal aberrometric profile correlate to visual acuity at different distances.
Methods: 49 patients (98 eyes) underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the placement of FineVision HP IOLs for presbyopia and were assessed at 1- and 3- to 6-months post-surgery. Postoperatively, refraction, monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) and the binocular defocus curve were measured.
Association between axial elongation and corneal topography in children undergoing orthokeratology with different back optic zone diameters.

Purpose: To explore the associations between myopia defocus dosage (MDD), aberration coefficients (primary spherical aberration and coma), and axial elongation in children undergoing orthokeratology (ortho-k) with back optic zone diameters (BOZD) of 5 mm and 6 mm over 2 years.
Methods: Data from 80 participants from two ortho-k studies were analyzed: 22 and 58 children wore lenses with 5-mm and 6-mm BOZD, respectively. Four MDD metrics were calculated from corneal topography data over a 5-mm pupil for the 1-month and 24-month visits: the circumferential, flat, steep, and volumetric MDD.
Risk factors for photic phenomena in two different multifocal diffractive intraocular lenses.
Sci Rep

Department of Ophthalmology, Kanazawa Medical University, Kahoku, Ishikawa, Japan.
Photic phenomena are more pronounced in presbyopia-corrected than in monofocal intraocular lens (IOL), causing dissatisfaction after cataract surgery. Photic Phenomena Test (PPT) quantifies photic phenomena in eyes with two types of presbyopia-corrected IOL. We examined the relationship between preoperative eye shape and pupil diameter.
