The Small-Aperture IC-8 Intraocular Lens: A New Concept for Added Depth of Focus in Cataract Patients.

Purpose: To evaluate visual performance of subjects implanted monocularly with a small-aperture hydrophobic intraocular lens (IC-8 IOL).

Design: A prospective, noncomparative, multicenter case series.

Methods: A series of 12 patients, presenting for cataract surgery, were implanted monocularly with a single-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular with a centrally located opaque annular mask measuring 3.

Reversal of a presbyopic LASIK treatment.

We report on a 72 year-old pseudophakic patient who had been implanted with a monofocal intraocular lens, and who underwent a unilateral Supracor laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) procedure to correct presbyopia and hyperopia. Uncorrected near visual acuity was improved, but the patient complained of glare, halo, reduced distance vision, and poor night driving vision due to treatment decentration. One year following the surgery, a reversal procedure was conducted with a wavefront-guided aspheric treatment to reverse the presbyopic correction while still maintaining the hyperopic correction.

Prospective evaluation of visual outcomes with three presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses following cataract surgery.

Purpose: To compare the visual acuity and quality of vision achieved with three widely-used intraocular lenses (IOLs) in subjects with bilateral cataracts.

Patients And Methods: This three-arm, parallel, prospective, partially masked, single-surgeon study randomized 78 subjects to receive bilateral Crystalens® Advanced Optics (AO) accommodating IOLs, AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® +3.0 multifocal IOLs, or TECNIS® Multifocal IOLs.

Femtosecond phacoemulsification: the business and the medicine.

Unlabelled: PURPOSE FOR REVIEW: Phacoemulsification is the preferred method for cataract surgery in the developed world. The number of phacoemulsification procedures performed annually is expected to increase as the population ages. Femtosecond cataract surgery offers several surgical advantages over conventional phacoemulsification and has already attained commercial application in some countries.

Histologic findings of bevacizumab-treated human conjunctiva in Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

Purpose: To present the histopathologic findings of the conjunctiva of a patient with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)-associated ocular surface neovascularization (OSN) after topical bevacizumab (TB) treatment.

Methods: A 40-year-old man with SJS and OSN received topical bevacizumab (25 mg/mL) for 12 months in 1 eye in addition to previously bilaterally administered tobramycin/dexamethasone eye drops. He subsequently underwent bilateral release of symblephara to relieve diplopia.

Wavefront-guided epithelial laser in situ keratomileusis with mitomycin-C for myopia and myopic astigmatism: flap-on versus flap-off technique.

Purpose: To compare the postoperative pain, visual recovery, and outcomes of flap-on and flap-off epithelial laser in situ keratomileusis (epi-LASIK) with mitomycin-C (MMC).

Setting: Asian Eye Institute, Makati, Philippines.

Design: Case-control study.

Efficacy of an aspheric treatment algorithm in decreasing induced spherical aberration after laser in situ keratomileusis.

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of an aspheric laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) algorithm for myopia with and without astigmatism in minimizing postoperative induction of spherical aberration.

Setting: Four sites in Asia.

Methods: Patients with -1.

Limbal relaxing incisions and Graves ophthalmopathy with lower eyelid retraction.

Limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) were performed in a 35-year-old man with Graves ophthalmopathy and lower eyelid retraction. He underwent intraocular lens exchange in 1 eye and cataract surgery in the other. Despite the return of normal thyroid function, aggressive lubrication, and antiinflammatory medication, the LRIs failed to heal, leaving gaps in the limbal cornea.

Topical bevacizumab and ocular surface neovascularization in patients with stevens-johnson syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical bevacizumab on ocular surface neovascularization among patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

Methods: This was a retrospective, interventional case report. Three eyes of 2 patients were examined.

Pigment release and secondary glaucoma after implantation of single-piece acrylic intraocular lenses in the ciliary sulcus.

Purpose: To report the association of sulcus-fixated, single-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (HAIOL) with pigment release and secondary glaucoma.

Design: Interventional case series.

Methods: HAIOL was implanted in the ciliary sulcus of 20 eyes that developed posterior capsule rupture during phacoemulsification.

Comparison of the potential acuity meter and pinhole tests in predicting postoperative visual acuity after cataract surgery.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of potential acuity meter (PAM) and pinhole (PH) tests in predicting visual acuity after cataract surgery.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of the Philippines, Philippine General Hospital, Manila, and Asian Eye Institute, Makati, Philippines.

Methods: This prospective study comprised 64 eyes with mild to moderate cataract that had uneventful phacoemulsification.
