purpose: to describe a case with a rare complication of posterior chamber intraocular lens (pc-iol) implantation in a patient who had undergone extracapsular cataract extraction (ecce) two years before case report: a 80-year-old diabetic woman presented with an exposed pc-iol in her left eye with a history of mechanical trauma. slit-lamp examination revealed an extruded pc-iol lied on the anter...

purpose: to compare the effect of implantation of a single-piece hydrophilic foldable acrylic intraocular lens (iol) with rectangular optic edge and a single-piece polymethyl methacrylate (pmma) iol with rounded optic edges on posterior capsular opacification )pco(. methods: this randomized clinical trial study comprised 74 eyes with senile cataract in an otherwise normal eye in patients older ...

PURPOSE To compare rates and severity of complications between infants undergoing cataract surgery with and without intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. DESIGN Prospective randomized clinical trial. METHODS A total of 114 infants were enrolled in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study, a randomized, multi-center (12) clinical trial comparing the treatment of unilateral aphakia in patients under...

PURPOSE To describe the clinical and pathological features of a case of hydrogel intraocular lens (IOL) calcification. CASE REPORT A 48-year-old man underwent explantation of a single-piece hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens in his left eye because of decreased visual acuity and milky white opalescence of the IOL. The opacified lens was exchanged uneventfully with a hydrophobic acrylic IOL....

This article reviews clinical and optical data for three unique lens designs: the ReSTOR diffractive intraocular lens (IOL), the Vision Membrane, and the ReZOOM refractive multifocal IOL.

PURPOSE To study in situ the intraocular position of the Artisan iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) (model 203) (Ophtec) in phakic hyperopic eyes using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). METHODS Echograms of the anterior chamber were taken preoperatively and 24 to 317 days postoperatively in 4 eyes implanted with the Artisan IOL (power +4.0 to +6.0 diopters). The preoperative anterior chamber dept...

Background: The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation aspheric IOL with steep-axis incision for correcting mild moderate corneal astigmatism in cataract patients.

BACKGROUND Despite growing number of intraocular lens power calculation formulas, there is no evidence that these formulas have good predictive accuracy in pediatric, whose eyes are still undergoing rapid growth and refractive changes. This study is intended to compare the prediction error and the accuracy of predictability of intraocular lens power calculation in pediatric patients at 3 month ...

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...
