PURPOSE To demonstrate the methodology described by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard Subcommittee on Astigmatism Analysis reporting a standardized method of presenting astigmatism data by laser systems that reshape the cornea also applies to toric phakic intraocular lens (IOL) data. METHODS The U.S. Food and Drug Administration trial of the Visian Toric Implantable Co...

PURPOSE To show the clinical use of the NIDEK OPD-Scan wavefront aberrometer and OPD-Station software in anterior segment surgery and pathology. METHODS Case examples are presented along with discussion about the relevant clinical data obtained from the OPD-Scan and OPD-Station software. RESULTS Six case examples including cataract surgery, secondary IOL implantation, phakic intraocular len...

Smart contact lenses incorporate a diversity of thin‐film components and are also fabricated utilizing different thin films. They have been developed for the sensing treatment diseases such as intraocular pressure glaucoma using tear fluid. This report provides review how these films processed to develop functional characteristics relevant their application in smart lenses. Types used, well var...

A great number of intraocular lenses various models and manufacturers is present on the ophthalmic market. The difficulty lies in choosing a specific lens model for each eye. In this work, we compare characteristics some monofocal IOLs most often implanted Orenburg branch S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution over past 5 years, as well results their implantation economic compon...

Phacoemulsification with an intraocular lens implant is a safe and effective means of correction of visual loss from cataract. The high frequency of this procedure world wide means inevitable direct surgical complications will be numerous even though infrequent. The approach to correcting aphakia following complicated cataract surgery is dependent on multiple factors including the degree to whi...

We evaluated the microstructure of the edges of currently available foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs). The methodology used assisted an IOL manufacturer (Hoya, Japan) to optimise the edge profile of its lenses. Ten designs of hydrophobic acrylic, six designs of silicone and 24 designs of hydrophilic acrylic IOLs were imaged under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the photographs were imp...
