Visual acuity tolerance to residual refractive errors in patients with an apodized diffractive intraocular lens.
2007
To assess visual acuity tolerance to defocus caused by residual refractive errors after clear lens extraction (CLE) with apodized diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain.In this prospective study, 150 eyes of 75 consecutive patients who had bilateral CLE with implantation of an AcrySof ReSTOR Natural IOL (Alcon) were evaluated. The eyes were divided into 2 groups: myopia and hyperopia. Residual refractive errors were analyzed using vector analysis. Monocular and binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity, best corrected distance visual acuity, uncorrected distance near visual acuity, and best distance-corrected near visual a…
Foldable toric intraocular lens for astigmatism correction in cataract patients.
2007
PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of AcrySof toric intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon) implantation to correct preexisting astigmatism in patients having cataract surgery. SETTING: Ophthalmology Service, Donostia Hospital, San Sebastian, Spain. METHODS: This prospective observational study included 30 eyes of 15 consecutive patients with more than 1.00 diopter (D) of preexisting corneal astigmatism having cataract surgery. Bilateral implantation of the AcrySof toric IOL was performed after phacoemulsification. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), residual refractive sphere, residual keratometric and refractive cylinders, and toric IOL axis were measured. RESU…
Outcomes of cataract surgery in diabetic patients: results of the Pan American Collaborative Retina Study Group.
2014
Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the visual and anatomical outcomes after cataract surgery in diabetic patients with different intraoperative therapeutic strategies. Methods: The research design comprised of a multicentric, retrospective, interventional study conducted at 6 centers in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Venezuela. We included 138 diabetic patients with at least 6-month follow-up following phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central subfield thickness were collected at baseline and at 1-, 2-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up. Of these, 42 cases were not treated with any intraoperative coadjuva…
Visual function comparison of 2 aspheric multifocal intraocular lenses
2011
To compare visual function after bilateral implantation of the multifocal Lentis Mplus LS-312 with a nonrotational symmetrical design (copolymer aspheric) or the Acrysof Restor SN6AD1 +3.0 D (hybrid aspheric) intraocular lens (IOL).Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain.Comparative case series.Six months postoperatively, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA), the defocus curve, and photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity with and without glare were measured.The mean CDVA was 0.02 ± 0.06 (SD) with the copolymer aspheric IOL and -0.06 ± 0.05 logMAR with the hybrid aspheric IOL (P=.07) and the mean DCNVA, 0.10 ± 0.06 and -0.0…
Refractive lens exchange with a multifocal diffractive aspheric intraocular lens
2012
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety, efficacy and predictability after refractive lens exchange with multifocal diffractive aspheric intraocular lens implantation. METHODS: Sixty eyes of 30 patients underwent bilateral implantation with AcrySof® ReSTOR® SN6AD3 intraocular lens with +4.00 D near addition. Patients were divided into myopic and hyperopic groups. Monocular best corrected visual acuity at distance and near and monocular uncorrected visual acuity at distance and near were measured before and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS: After surgery, uncorrected visual acuity was 0.08 ± 0.15 and 0.11 ± 0.14 logMAR for the myopic and hyperopic groups, respectively (50% and 46.67% of patients ha…
Correlation of pupil size with visual acuity and contrast sensitivity after implantation of an apodized diffractive intraocular lens
2007
To determine whether pupil size is correlated with visual acuity and contrast sensitivity at all distances in eyes with an apodized diffractive intraocular lens (IOL).Private Clinic, Oviedo, Spain.Six months after surgery, the best corrected distance visual acuity, best distance-corrected near visual acuity, intermediate visual acuity, and distance contrast sensitivity under photopic (85 cd/m2) and mesopic (5 cd/m2) conditions were measured in 670 eyes of 335 consecutive patients who had implantation of the AcrySof ReSTOR Natural IOL (SN60D3, Alcon). Pupil diameters in distance vision were measured using a pupillometer.The logMAR best corrected distance acuity was significantly better with …
Bilateral implantation of the Acri.LISA bifocal intraocular lens in myopic eyes.
2009
Purpose To asses visual quality after bilateral implantation of the Acri.LISA 366D intraocular lens (IOL) (Carl Zeiss Meditec) in patients with high and low–moderate myopia. Methods A total of 304 eyes of 152 patients had bilateral implantation of the Acri.LISA 366D IOL. The patients were divided into 2 groups: low–moderate myopia (IOL power from 15 to 20.5 D) and high myopia (IOL power from 0 to 14.5 D). Monocular and binocular best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA) and best distance-corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA), binocular best distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (BCIVA), and distance contrast sensitivity (OS) under photopic (85 cd/m2) and mesopic (5 cd/m2) conditio…
Direct costs of glaucoma and severity of the disease: a multinational long term study of resource utilisation in Europe
2005
International audience; Background: Resource utilisation and direct costs associated with glaucoma progression in Europe are unknown. As population progressively ages, the economic impact of the disease will increase. Methods: From a total of 1655 consecutive cases, the records of 194 patients were selected and stratified by disease severity. Record selection was based on diagnoses of primary open angle glaucoma, glaucoma suspect, ocular hypertension, or normal tension glaucoma; 5 years minimum follow up were required. Glaucoma severity was assessed using a six stage glaucoma staging system based on static threshold visual field parameters. Resource utilisation data were abstracted from the…
Contrast sensitivity after refractive lens exchange with a multifocal diffractive aspheric intraocular lens
2013
Purpose: To evaluate distance and near contrast sensitivity (CS) under photopic and mesopic conditions before and after refractive lens exchange (RLE) and implantation of the aspheric AcrySof ReSTOR (SN6AD3 model) intraocular lens (IOL) Methods: Sixty eyes of 30 consecutive patients after RLE underwent bilateral implantation with the aspheric AcrySof ReSTOR IOL. The patients sample was divided into myopic [n=15, mean spherical equivalent (SE) -6.87± 2.03 diopters (D)] and hyperopic (n=15, mean SE +4.52±1.14 D) groups.
