purpose : contrast sensitivity (cs) evaluation by sv–1000e chart in all spatial frequencies after micro incision cataract surgery (mics) and its comparison between two thin lenses after optical correction in natural and glare conditions methods : in this cross sectional study, 100 eyes having mics with dodick arc phacolaser system were evaluated. 50 thinoptx lenses and 50 acrismart lenses were ...

Asymmetric c-lenses are the special cases of asymmetric d-lenses (also called delta lenses) whose updates satisfy a universal property which in many applications ensures “least-change”. There has therefore been hope that symmetric c-lenses might characterize those symmetric dlenses which satisfy a similar universal property. This paper begins an analysis of symmetric c-lenses and their relation...

conclusions: these data demonstrated that the attachment of bacteria to hydrophilic acrylic iols was more than hydrophobic pmma ones independent of the brand. according to these results the bacterial strain might have more hydrophilic properties. augmenting the biomass of biofilm by passing of time demonstrated the key role of time in biofilm formation on the iol surfaces. the differences betwe...

PURPOSE Deprivation of oxygen to the ocular surface during contact lens wear has been implicated in the alteration of sensory function. This study investigates whether increasing oxygen availability through discontinuation of contact lens wear or transfer into highly oxygen transmissible (high Dk/t) lenses leads to a change in corneal or conjunctival sensitivity. METHODS Twenty-seven long-ter...

There are many different types of lenses, but largely they fall into the three classes of the title: set-based, delta-based and edit-based lenses. This paper develops some of the general relationships between those classes. The main results are that a category of set-based lenses is a full subcategory of a category of delta-based lenses determined by sending sets to codiscrete categories; that ...

in view of the rapid expansion of contact lens amongst the users, new dimensions have been added to the domain of ophthalmology: giant papillay conjunctivitis, a disease caused by different kinds of contact lens, appears weeks or months after they are used, although some patients are struck years later. the predominant symptoms are increased awareness of lenses, ocular itching, blurred vision a...

purpose: to compare the effect of different deviation measurement techniques and different lens powers on gradient accommodative convergence to accommodation (ac/a) ratio. methods: we randomly selected 78 eligible students of different majors from zahedan university of medical sciences. following retinoscopy for refractive errors, alternate prism cover test, von graefe and maddox rod without ad...
