BACKGROUND To compare the average values of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and Ocular MD intraocular lens (IOL) calculators to assess their accuracy in predicting IOL power in patients with prior laser-in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or photorefractive keratectomy. METHODS In this retrospective study, data from 21 eyes with previous LASIK or photorefractive ker...

PURPOSE To compare the long-term efficacy of a secondarily implanted flexible angle supported anterior chamber (AC) intraocular lens (IOL) with sclerally fixated IOL as a secondary procedure in patients with aphakia. METHODS Sixty patients with aphakia were recruited for this study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group I patients underwent secondary implantation with AC I...

BACKGROUND/AIM Cataract surgery has become one of the safest procedures in medicine thanks to advances in technology and surgical techniques. Although minimal, we still witness different complications. The aim of this study was to compare visual outcome and complication rate in different techniques of cataract surgery, ie in cataract surgeries with various corneal incision width. METHODS The ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of the optical coherence tomography-based (OCT formula) and Barrett True K (True K) intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas in eyes with previous radial keratotomy (RK). METHODS In 95 eyes of 65 patients, using the actual refraction following cataract surgery as target refraction, the predicted IOL power for each method was calculated. The IOL prediction e...

PURPOSE To report a case of delayed-onset endophthalmitis after implantation of a preloaded intraocular lens (IOL) and examine the surgically removed IOL by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). CASE A 77-year-old female underwent uneventful phacoemulsification and aspiration with preloaded silicone IOL implantation. Since intraocular inflammation unexpectedly worsened 1 month after the surgery...

BACKGROUND There are 2 main types of intraocular lens (IOL) currently implanted in patients after cataract surgery. Till now, we do not know exactly what the effect of intraocular lens implantation will be on the quality of sleep after cataract surgery. METHODS The binocular BF-IOL (BF-IOL Groups) and UVB-IOL (UVB-IOL Groups) implantations were performed in 60 and 59 cataract patients, respec...

PURPOSE To evaluate surface properties of various intraocular lenses (IOLs), including a newly fabricated heparin-surface-modified (HSM) silicone IOL, with special reference to their efficiency in reducing potential silicone oil adherence to the IOL optics. SETTING Center for Research on Ocular Therapeutics and Biodevices, Department of Ophthalmology, Storm Eye Institute, Medical University o...

PURPOSE To assess the repeatability of an objective image-analysis technique to determine intraocular lens (IOL) rotation and centration. SETTING Six European ophthalmology clinics. METHODS Eyes with an Akreos AO aspheric IOL with orientation marks were imaged. A masked observer rated image quality. The axis of rotation was determined from a line bisecting the IOL orientation marks. This wa...

PURPOSE To evaluate the visual performance of different types of intraocular lens (IOL) in eyes submitted to femtosecond laser (FSL) cataract surgery and to analyze whether this technology could result in spectacles independence. DESIGN Retrospective comparative case series. METHODS Consecutive eyes that were scheduled for FSL cataract surgery were included in this study. After one month po...

Purpose. To report 7 cases of intraocular lens (IOL) opacification following treatment of postoperative anterior chamber fibrin with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) after cataract surgery. Methods. Retrospective case series of 7 eyes in 7 patients who developed IOL opacification after receiving rtPA for anterior chamber inflammatory membrane formation resulting from phacoemulsif...
