purpose : to evaluate intraocular pressure (iop) and anterior chamber depth (acd) change after phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation methods : in this quasi-experimental study, 84 patients with senile cataract were included. all patients had normal iop. patients with traumatic and complicated cataract, any history of uveitis, glaucoma, or other ocular disease ...

PURPOSE To investigate the possible effect of aspherical or yellow tinted intraocular lens (IOL) on contrast sensitivity and blue-on-yellow perimetry. METHODS This prospective randomized bilateral double-masked clinical study included 52 patients with visually significant bilateral cataracts divided in two groups; 25 patients (50 eyes) received aspherical intraocular lens in one eye and spher...

To the Editor: I commend Munoz et al on their well-designed and well-conducted study on the clinical effect of a combination of multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOL) including the newest rotationally asymmetric MIOL, which appeared in the March 2012 issue of the Journal of Refractive Surgery.1 They found that contrast sensitivity was comparable to that achievable with a monofocal implant and, re...

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 evaluate ocular biometric changes after phacotrabeculectomy and its effect on intraocular lens power calculation. methods: twenty six eligible eyes (24 patients) underwent phacotrabeculectomy. they were reexamined at least 6 months after the operation in a historical cohort study. main outcome measures included axial length (al) with contact a- scan (us-8000, nidek, gamaguri, japan)...

PURPOSE To investigate if the accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements using rebound tonometry over disposable hydrogel (etafilcon A) contact lenses (CL) is affected by the positive power of the CLs. METHODS The experimental group comprised 26 subjects, (8 male, 18 female). IOP measurements were undertaken on the subjects' right eyes in random order using a Rebound Tonometer (ICare...
