Purpose: To compare induced astigmatism and postoperative astigmatism of a 4 mm corneal superior incision to a 4 mm temporal incision for cataract phacoemulsification surgery.
Methods: Sixty eyes underwent cataract surgery for this prospective study. Thirty had a superior corneal incision (group 1) and 30 had a temporal incision (group 2). The incision was placed according to the pre operative astigmatism:temporal approach in case of against the rule astigmatism and superior location in case of with the rule astigmatism. The incision was enlarged to 4 mm just before implantation of a foldable lens. The patients had a pre operative and a post operative (day 1, 8, 30, 180) keratometry. Some had a corneal topography too. The surgically induced astigmatism was calculated using Naeser method.
Results: The incision having a relaxing effect on the meridian where it is placed, the surgically induced astigmatism is against the rule for a superior location and with the rule for a temporal location. At day 30 the mean surgically induced astigmatism was 0.98 diopter in group 1 and 0.58 in group 2. At ay 30 the postoperative astigmatism was 0.51 diopter against the rule in the first group and 0.13 diopter with the rule in the second group.
Conclusion: The superior corneal incision rarely allows to reach a minimum postoperative astigmatism as with a temporal location.

Dynamic Accommodation Responses in Subjects Wearing Myopia Control Spectacles Modifying Peripheral Refraction.

Purpose: Peripheral optics have been suggested to play a role in myopia progression, with accommodation responses also considered a potential contributor. This study aimed to investigate whether modifications in peripheral optics through different spectacle lenses affect accommodation responses.
Methods: Dynamic accommodation responses were assessed using a double-pass instrument while switching the target from distance (3 m for 3 seconds) to near (0.
Effect of induced astigmatism on vestibulo-ocular reflex.
Clin Exp Optom

Department of Optometry, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
Clinical Relevance: The vestibular-ocular reflex stabilises the retinal image and maintains balance during head movement. Astigmatism is one of the common refractive errors that can reduce the quality of visual inputs.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of induced astigmatism on the function of the vestibular-ocular reflex.
Background: To determine whether accounting for posterior corneal surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) would improve toric intraocular lens power calculation prediction error.
Methods: A total of 189 eyes of 148 patients undergoing routine cataract surgery were included in the study. Standard and posterior keratometry were measured pre- and postoperatively.
The clinical outcome of implantable collamer lens in corneal ectasia post astigmatic keratotomy.

Introduction: Implantable collamer lens (ICL) is a posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens. It is usually indicated for high refractive error correction that cannot be treated by laser vision correction due to physical limitations.
Case Presentation: 39 years old male with a past ocular history of keratoconus underwent astigmatic keratotomy followed by crosslinking in both eyes a couple of years later due to signs of corneal ectasia progression.
Purpose: To evaluate a new regression-derived nomogram for high myopic astigmatism in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery.
Methods: In this prospective study, data from 180 eyes with myopic astigmatism ranging from -2.50 to -4.
