Purpose: To evaluate the visual and refractive outcomes of astigmatic cataract patients following opposite clear corneal incision (OCCI) combined with rotationally asymmetric multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Hospital (Xiamen), Fudan University, People's Republic of China.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Methods: This study comprised 58 cataract eyes of 54 patients with corneal astigmatism who underwent phacoemulsification and rotationally asymmetric multifocal IOL implantation which received either OCCI (OCCI group) or a single clear corneal incision (SCCI group). The follow-up period was 3 months after surgery. Distance, intermediate and near visual acuity, refractive outcomes, and corneal anterior keratometry were compared between the two groups. Vector analysis was used to evaluate astigmatism correction.
Results: Three months after surgery, the distance, intermediate and near visual acuity, and sphere remained comparable between the two groups, but a significant difference was detected in residual astigmatism and anterior corneal keratometric astigmatism. In the OCCI group, the residual astigmatism and keratometric astigmatism were -0.60 ± 0.29 D and 0.59 ± 0.28 D, respectively, which were lower than those in SCCI groups (-1.18 ± 0.47 D and 1.15 ± 0.45 D, both < 0.05). In vector analysis, the difference vector (DV), angle of error (AoE), absolute AoE, index of success (IoS) and correction index (CI) were statistically significantly different between the two groups ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: OCCI combined with rotationally asymmetric multifocal intraocular lens implantation showed predictable and desirable efficacy in treating cataract patients with astigmatism.

Directional ciliary beats across epithelia require Ccdc57-mediated coupling between axonemal orientation and basal body polarity.

Motile cilia unify their axonemal orientations (AOs), or beat directions, across epithelia to drive liquid flows. This planar polarity results from cytoskeleton-driven swiveling of basal foot (BF), a basal body (BB) appendage coincident with the AO, in response to regulatory cues. How and when the BF-AO relationship is established, however, are unaddressed.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different approaches to implanting multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients: a mix-and-match method versus a bilateral method.
- Patients were divided into two groups, with one receiving a combination of lenses in each eye and the other receiving the same lens in both eyes, and outcomes were assessed after three months.
- Results showed that the mix-and-match approach significantly improved intermediate vision and reduced the need for glasses compared to the bilateral implantation, suggesting it may be a better option for some patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the coupling between helical circular waveguides using the finite element method (FEM), revealing new findings in this area.
- As the twist rate in two-fold rotationally symmetric cases increases, intersections occur in the effective index curves of their composite modes, linked to the behavior of high-order harmonics.
- In one-fold symmetric structures, differing azimuthal positions lead to asymmetric modal distributions as the twist rate increases, suggesting that the waveguide couplings become unequal.
Article Synopsis
- Asymmetric metasurfaces with quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) are gaining attention for their high quality factor and effective light-matter interactions but struggle with varying polarization states of incoming light.
- This study introduces a polarization-independent quasi-BIC resonance achieved through a non-rotationally symmetric nanorod dimer metasurface, showing consistent performance across different light polarizations by adjusting asymmetry parameters.
- The research also uncovers that this polarization independence arises from the transition between magnetic and electric quadrupoles, highlighting the metasurface’s potential for excellent refractive index sensing and innovative resonator designs.
