AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the impact of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation on the peripheral visual field.
- Conducted at Leiden University Medical Center, the researchers used ray-tracing simulations to analyze different IOL designs and their effect on visual shifts in both phakic (natural lens) and pseudophakic (with IOL) eyes.
- Results showed that while central vision remained largely unaffected, peripheral vision could shift by up to 5.4 degrees towards the center, potentially influencing how patients perceive their peripheral vision.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To assess whether intraocular lens (IOL) implantation induces shifts in the peripheral visual field.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands.
Design: Ray-tracing study.
Methods: Nonsequential ray-tracing simulations were performed with phakic and pseudophakic versions of the same eye model to assess potential shifts in the visual field after IOL implantation. 2 different IOL designs were evaluated and for each design 5 different axial positions and 7 different intrinsic powers were tested. The relation between the physical position of the light source and the location where the retina was illuminated was determined for each eye model. Subsequently, these relations were used to calculate whether the visual field shifts in pseudophakic eyes.
Results: The pseudophakic visual field shift was below 1 degree for central vision in all evaluated models. For peripheral vision, the light rays in the pseudophakic eyes were refracted to a more central retinal location compared with phakic eyes, resulting in a central shift of the peripheral visual field. The magnitude of the shift depended on the IOL design and its axial position, but could be as high as 5.4 degrees towards central vision.
Conclusions: IOL implantation tends to have little effect on the central visual field but can induce an over 5 degrees shift in the peripheral visual field. Such a shift can affect the perception of peripheral visual complaints.

Introduction: Adjustable lifestyle factors, such as diet, are associated with cognitive functions, structural and functional brain measures, but the association between the functional connectivity (FC) and the Mediterranean Diet (Medicine) in population without dementia is yet to be explored.
Methods: The association between MeDi and brain FC in 105 individuals without dementia aged 63 (SD ± 8.72) years old who underwent brain MRI including resting-state (rs) functional MRI (fMRI) was examined.

Background: Pituitary adenomas (PAs) present with clinical features such as neuroendocrine abnormalities and mass effects, common in the general morbidity population. However, in elderly patients, the disease progression renders some clinical features difficult to detect and identify in time. Consequently, elderly patients with PAs are often not identified and receive sufficient intervention on time to achieve a satisfactory outcome.

The utilization of ureteroscopy (URS) for managing urolithiasis has garnered substantial global recognition. Nonetheless, bibliometric analyses focusing on URS in the context of urolithiasis treatment remain sparse. Therefore, we used bibliometrics to summarize the relevant literature in this field in recent years, in order to grasp the core research directions, capture the developmental frontiers, and provide valuable information for urologists to understand the research hotspots.
