Phacotrabeculectomy and Implantation of Intraocular Lenses with Releasable Sutures and Antimetabolite Agents: Efficacy and Safety

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification and the implantation of intraocular lenses (IOL) combined with trabeculectomy supplemented by releasable sutures and antimetabolite agents. Methods:Phacotrabeculectomy was performed in 36 eyes of 30 patients who hadmedically uncontrolle...

Phakic intraocular lenses.

The main objective of refractive surgery is improving the patient’s quality of life by decreasing their dependence on spectacles and contact lenses. In the majority of cases, we, refractive surgeons, are dealing with young healthy individuals with excellent quality of vision; they are seeking no less than excellent uncorrected visual acuity with at least the same quality of vision postoperative...

Aspheric Intraocular Lenses

With continued improvements in surgical techniques, biometry, and intraocular lens (IOL) technology, cataract surgeons have for some time been capable of consistently achieving highly accurate quantitative refractive results following cataract/lens replacement surgery. We know we can improve an individual’s vision from 20/400 to 20/20, for example. The modern cataract surgeon, however, is now e...

Bi- and Multifocal Intraocular Lenses

The present paper presents a review of multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) focusing on the optical principle used to create multifocality: refraction and diffraction. The principal optics of the different IOL designs in the market were discussed and compared. The main conclusion of this study states that diffractive bifocal optics seems to be superior to refractive designs which is well-substa...
