PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of postoperative refractive outcomes of combined phacovitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM) in comparison to cataract surgery alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-nine eyes that underwent combined phacovitrectomy with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for cataract and ERM (combined surgery group) and 39 eyes that received phacoemulsification for cataract (...

PURPOSE To compare changes of anterior corneal aberration (Pentacam) and ocular aberration (aberrometer, LADARWave) after laser refractive surgery. METHODS Sixty-six eyes underwent laser refractive surgery and were retrospectively reviewed. Anterior corneal aberration and ocular aberration were measured by Pentacam and an aberrometer (LADARWave) respectively. Changes of root mean square (RMS)...

to assess the one year results of artiflex phakic intraocular lens (iol) implantation in the treatment of high myopia. in this non-random interventional study, myopic patients with spherical equivalent worse than -5.0 diopters (d) who were not eligible for laser surgery were assessed. all patients had refraction, uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity tests (ucva and bcva), endothelial ce...

Recently, two papers "Dorronsoro et al., Experiment on PMMA models to predict the impact of corneal refractive surgery on corneal shape, Opt. Express 14, 6142 (2006)" and "JR Jiménez et al., Deviations of Lambert-Beer's law affect corneal refractive parameters after refractive surgery, Opt. Express 14, 5411 (2006)" have been published on an important question in corneal refractive surgery: to e...
