Purpose: To study the effect of ocular biomechanics on the prediction error of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation.
Setting: Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto, Porto, Portugal.
Design: Prospective longitudinal study.
Methods: This study included 67 subjects. Before cataract surgery subjects underwent biometry with IOLMaster 700 and biomechanical analysis with Corvis Scheimpflug technology. The targeted spherical equivalent was calculated with SRK-T and Barrett Universal II. Associations between prediction error (PE), absolute prediction error (AE), and biometric and biomechanical parameters were performed with stepwise multivariate linear correlation analysis.
Results: Using the SRKT formula, there was association between PE and Corvis Biomechanical Index (CBI, B = -0.531, P = .011) and between AE and the horizontal offset between the center of the pupil and the visual axis (angle κ, B = -0.274, P = .007). Considering the Barret Universal II formula, PE was independently associated with anterior chamber depth ( B = -0.279, P = .021) and CBI ( B = -0.520, P = .013) and AE was associated with angle κ ( B = -0.370, P = .007).
Conclusions: A large angle κ may reduce the predictability of IOL power calculation. Ocular biomechanics likely influence the refractive outcomes after IOL implantation. This study showed that eyes with softer corneal biomechanics had more myopic PE. This may relate to anteriorization of the effective lens position. Dynamic measurements may be the way to progress into future formulas.

Polarization is a property of light that describes the oscillation of the electric field vector. Polarized light can be detected by many invertebrate animals, and this visual channel is widely used in nature. Insects rely on light polarization for various purposes, such as water detection, improving contrast, breaking camouflage, navigation, and signaling during mating.

Biomechanical study of the visual system by ocular response analyzer investigates the inter-structural biological relationships, mechanics, and function of the visual system. This review aimed to investigate the changes in corneal biomechanical parameters with age and sex. The articles published in PubMed between 2000 and 2021 were investigated and critiqued, and valid scientific evidence was collected, reviewed and concluded according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness globally, particularly among working-age adults. As the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise, understanding factors that influence DR development and progression is increasingly important. Recent studies suggest a protective association between a longer axial length (AL) of the eye and the risk of DR, particularly in myopic individuals.

Myopia has become a globally prevalent ocular disease. The choroid plays a vital role in myopia, and its changes tend to occur earlier than those of the retina and long-term variations in eye growth. Abnormal axial growth is an intrinsic characteristic of myopia, accompanied by ocular biomechanical changes that result in chorioretinal atrophy, thinning, and other complications particularly in the choroidal vasculature.

Purpose: Scleral cross-linking (SXL) with ultraviolet A (UVA) and riboflavin has already been used in laboratory studies for scleral stiffness increase as a potential treatment for progressive myopia and scleral ectasia. This study aims to investigate whether the regional application of scleral cross-linking (SXL) with ultraviolet A (UVA) and riboflavin in fresh porcine eye globes affects the ocular rigidity as well as its impact on intraocular pressure after an induced acute increase in the volume of intraocular fluid.
Methods: The study included two groups of fresh porcine eyes: an experimental group (n=20) that underwent scleral cross-linking (SXL) with riboflavin and UVA applied to the posterior sclera and a control group (n=20) that did not receive SXL treatment.
