To investigate peripheral refraction and aberrations in myopic eyes after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery and to understand the relationship between visual symptoms and wide-field wavefront aberrations. A total of 28 patients with myopia and myopic astigmatism underwent SMILE surgery. Peripheral refraction and aberrations were measured both before and six months after surgery using a modified wide-field Shack-Hartmann wavefront (SHWS) sensor-based aberrometer. The peripheral refraction and aberrations from the axis (0°) to (15°) in both the horizontal and vertical directions were measured. A visual questionnaire was administered to assess visual quality before and six months after surgery. Post-surgery, peripheral relative refraction exhibited reduced hyperopia. The spherical aberration [Formula: see text] changed from 0.12 ± 0.11 μm before surgery to 0.24 ± 0.14 μm (t = 20.047, P = 0.000) after surgery on the optical axis(0°). Post-surgery, the spatial pattern of spherical aberration remained constant. Greater variability of peripheral aberrations was observed in the direction of the horizontal retina than in the vertical axis after surgery. Horizontal coma significantly increased after surgery and appeared to be more variable in the direction of the surperior region. [Formula: see text] shifted from -0.03 ± 0.16 μm preoperatively to -0.12 ± 0.18 μm postoperatively (t = 0.580, P = 0.573), [Formula: see text] changed from 0.03 ± 0.22μm preoperatively to 0.37 ± 0.35 μm postoperatively (t = - 3.780, P = 0.003) on the central axis. The majority of patients were satisfied with the postoperative daytime vision; there was no significant deterioration in nighttime visual symptoms compared to preoperative levels. Our study demonstrated that SMILE significantly reduced peripheral refraction in myopic eyes, however with increased asymmetry along the vertical axis. Notably, the relationship between nighttime visual symptoms and large-field aberrations was not found to be significant.

Purpose: To investigate the association of local ciliary body morphology with the haptic position and peripheral vault.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 95 eyes of 59 patients treated with the EVO Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) (STAAR Surgical). Ciliary body morphology parameters (ciliary process length [CPL], ciliary sulcus width [CSW], and scleral spur-ciliary process distance [SCD]), the relative position of ICL haptic to the ciliary process, the haptic-related parameters (the final tip point of ICL haptic [ftICL haptic] and lowest point of ICL haptic), and peripheral vault in the location of each haptic were measured with ultrasound biomicroscopy 3 months after surgery.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the impact of wearing peripheral defocus spectacle lenses (PDSL) on cylindrical refractive error (CYL) in myopic children.
Methods: This study included 1057 myopic children and divided the participants into three groups: the HAL group (spectacle lens with highly aspherical lenslets), the MPV group (spectacle lens based on manipulating peripheral vision), and a control group (without myopia control interventions). The study analyzed the effect of wearing PDSL on changes in spherical equivalent refraction, CYL, and corneal astigmatism (CA).

Purpose: Part 1 of the study investigated image quality associated with oblique incidence of light on a multisegment lens (Hoya MiyoSmart) intended to treat myopia development. Part 2 investigates power corrections associated with oblique incidence.
Methods: Modelling and ray tracing were carried out with lenses of -4 D distance power and, to a lesser extent, +0.
An Ocular Gene-Set Expression Library for Heritability Partition and Cell Line Enrichment Analyses.

Academic Ophthalmology, King's College London, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: Use of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in combination with transcriptomic arrays of different tissues or cell lines can reveal relevant cellular profiles and significantly improve understanding of the mechanisms of diseases. However, due to difficulty of access, few ocular transcriptomics datasets are available. This work aimed to create and make available an expression library platform that can be used with popular and versatile tools such as the linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) regression techniques to identify specific cell lines enriched in ocular diseases.
