PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of intraoperative wavefront aberrometry versus optical biometry alone for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in eyes undergoing cataract surgery with monofocal IOL implantation. METHODS Preoperative data were obtained with the IOLMaster. Intraoperative aphakic measurements and IOL power calculations were obtained in some patients with the optiwave refract...

background: free-living amoebae (fla) including acanthamoeba spp. and hartmannella spp. are the causative agents of serious corneal infection especially within contact lens wearers. thus contact lenses and their storage case could be a suitable niche for potentially pathogenic amoebae. the main objective of the present study was to evaluate the contamination of contact lenses to free living amo...

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...

purpose: to compare rose-k and conventional rgp contact lenses in terms of visual acuity, visual function and comfort in keratoconus patients. method: fifty-four patients with keratoconus were randomly fitted with rose-k and conventional rgp contact lens (wohlk contact lens), by one experienced ophthalmologist using a standard (three touch point) approach. general and demographic information, k...

purpose : to evaluate the near visual performance of an accommodative intraocular lens (iol) tetraflex, in comparison to a standard monofocal foldable iol in cataract surgery. setting: eye research center , farabi eye hospital , department of ophthalmology, tehran university of medical sciences, iran . methods : forty six eyes of 23 patients with cataract underwent phacoemulsification and accom...

introduction: microbial keratitis is an infective process of the cornea with a potentially and serious visual impairments. contact lenses are a major cause of microbial keratitis in the developed countries especially among young people. therefore, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the frequency and microbiological characteristic of clk in patients referred to the emergency depart...
