Purpose: Lagophthalmos from facial nerve palsy is traditionally measured with patients in an upright position and may fail to identify positional variability. This study aims to assess the effects of body position, surgical technique, implant material, and patient demographics on lagophthalmos.

Methods: A multicenter prospective study was performed to evaluate positional changes in paralytic lagophthalmos and the effects of various patient and surgical factors.

Purpose: To compare the refractive prediction accuracy of the Optiwave Refractive Analysis (ORA) SYSTEM with the Barrett True-K (BTK) formula in calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power in eyes that underwent cataract surgery after previous myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods: This retrospective study evaluated patients aged ≥22 years with prior myopic PRK or LASIK who underwent unilateral or bilateral cataract removal and monofocal IOL implantation using the ORA SYSTEM at 177 sites in the United States. Two datasets were analyzed: All Eyes (ie, all eligible eyes) and First Surgery Eyes (ie, each patient's first implanted eye).

Article Synopsis
  • - Corneal haze results from abnormal healing processes following injuries or surgeries, causing vision impairment due to eye opacity and irregularities, often linked to myofibroblast formation triggered by inflammation.
  • - Major causes of corneal haze include surgical procedures like PRK and LASIK, as well as non-surgical factors such as trauma and infections, with research focusing on the TGFβ pathway and inflammation management methods.
  • - Losartan, usually used for treating high blood pressure, shows promise in ophthalmology for reducing corneal fibrosis after various injuries and surgeries, leading to this review of its effectiveness and potential future applications in treating corneal haze.

Article Synopsis
  • LASIK surgery can cause temporary dry eye due to nerve damage, but this study investigates long-term ocular surface changes, blinking rates, and meibomian gland health in post-LASIK patients at least 48 months post-surgery.
  • The study involved 48 post-LASIK patients and 48 matched healthy controls, assessing clinical findings and imaging related to eye health.
  • Findings showed that post-LASIK patients had lower meibum quality, reduced tear production, and high chronic dry eye symptom prevalence, indicating the need for thorough evaluations and treatments for affected patients.

Purpose: To assess ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs) following ray trace guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods: Retrospective review at a single-site ophthalmology practice. Two hundred and fifty eyes of 250 patients with myopia and astigmatism undergoing ray trace LASIK were randomly reviewed (Wavelight Plus, Alcon).
