Anisometropia of spherical equivalent and astigmatism among myopes: a 23-year follow-up study of prevalence and changes from childhood to adulthood.
2017
Purpose To study anisometropia of spherical equivalent and astigmatism from the onset of myopia at school age to adulthood. Methods A total of 240 myopic schoolchildren (mean age 10.9 years), with no previous spectacles, were recruited during 1983–1984 to a randomized 3-year clinical trial of bifocal treatment of myopia. Examinations with subjective cyclopedic refraction were repeated 3 years later (follow-up 1) for 238 subjects and thereafter at the mean ages of 23.2 (follow-up 2) and 33.9 years (follow-up 3) for 178 and 134 subjects. After exclusions, the 102 subjects who attended all three follow-ups were included in the analyses. Corneal refractive power and astigmatism and anterior cha…
Visual and optical performance with the ReZoom multifocal intraocular lens
2011
Purpose This study evaluated visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and wavefront aberrations after refractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Methods A prospective study comprising 174 eyes of 87 patients who had bilateral implantation of a multifocal IOL was carried out. A control group of 100 eyes of 50 age-matched patients with a monofocal IOL was used for comparison. Uncorrected and corrected distance and near visual acuity, contrast sensitivity (CS), and wavefront analysis (Hartmann-Shack) was performed 6 months after surgery. Contrast sensitivity was tested for distance and near under mesopic (2 cd/m2) and photopic conditions (90 cd/m2). Results Distance photopic CS was…
Impact of lens material on objective refraction in eyes with trifocal diffractive intraocular lenses
2021
Purpose: Compare subjective (Rx) and objective (ObjRx) refractions outcomes with two autorefractors models and an aberrometer in eyes implanted with a hydrophobic trifocal IOL (FineVision POD F GF, Physiol, Liége, Belgium) and a hydrophilic one (FineVision POD F, Physiol, Liége, Belgium). Methods: Prospective comparative cohort study, with 100 subjects randomly assigned to either the POD F group (n = 50) or the POD F-GF group (n = 50). Postoperative eye examinations at 1-month visit included seven result sets, one for each assessment method: Rx, AR (automated refraction measured with the autorefractor KR8800), WF-P (Zernike-coefficients-based objective refraction, photopic pupil size), WF-M…
Visual quality after diffractive intraocular lens implantation in eyes with previous hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis
2010
To evaluate distance, intermediate, and near visual quality in eyes with diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) implantation after previous hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain.Cohort study.Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) at 12.5%, 25.0%, and 100% contrast levels under photopic and mesopic conditions; uncorrected (UNVA) and distance-corrected (DCNVA) near visual acuity, defocus curves, and corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were measured in eyes that had AcrySof Restor SN60D3 spherical IOL implantation (study group) and in phakic eyes (control group) after hyperopic LASIK.Under photopic conditions at 100% contrast, …
Implantation of a toric poly(methyl methacrylate) intraocular lens to correct high astigmatism
1999
Abstract A 57-year-old man experienced a decrease in visual function because of cataract formation. Corneal astigmatism was 13.4 diopters (D) because he had had a penetrating keratoplasty 27 years before. Cataract surgery was planned, and biometric data for toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were collected for the manufacture of a custom IOL. After phacoemulsification, a toric poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) IOL of +19.0 D spherical and +12.0 D cylindrical power was implanted via a sclerocorneal tunnel incision. Three months postoperatively, corneal astigmatism was 14.3 D and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), 20/25. Postoperative refraction (+1.5 −3.0 × 90) and BCVA remained stab…
Effect of head position on refraction in aphakic and phakic silicone-filled eyes.
1997
BACKGROUND The refraction of the eye is altered significantly after the instillation of silicone oil into the vitreous cavity because of the silicone oil's high refractive index. The degree of the refractive change shows diurnal variation and depends on the patient's head position. PATIENTS AND METHODS To analyze the degree and time course of refractive changes with respect to head position, the authors performed objective refraction in five aphakic and five phakic silicone oil-instilled eyes with attached maculae using an automatic hand-held refractometer. In each patient, 25 measurements were taken at short intervals using a hand-held autorefractometer with the patient in different positi…
Refractive and Visual Results after Implantation of the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL in High and Low Hyperopic Eyes
2009
To assess the differences in refractive and visual results obtained in eyes with high and low hyperopia after implantation of a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).A prospective study was performed on 172 hyperopic eyes implanted with the AcrySof Re-STOR Natural (SN60D3) IOL. Two groups were created, high and low hyperopes (86 eyes in both cases). We analyzed monocular visual acuity for distance and near, with and without distance correction. Photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity (CS) were also assessed. All measurements were performed at 6 months after surgery.Monocular best distance-corrected visual acuity was 0.01+/-0.03 logMAR for low hyperopes and 0.04+/-0.10 logMAR for high hyperope…
Visual Function after Implantation of a Presbyopia-Correcting Trifocal Intraocular Lens
2019
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> To evaluate distance, intermediate, and near visual performance in patients implanted with a trifocal aspheric presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (IOL). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Forty patients were bilaterally implanted with the AcrySofIQ PanOptix IOL after femtosecond laser-assisted lens surgery. Binocular best corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) (4 m), best distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) (40 and 30 cm), best corrected distance intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) (70, 60, and 50 cm), binocular distance contrast sensitivity under photopic conditions (85 cd/m<sup>2</sup>), and defocus curve…
Visual Performance of a Multifocal Toric Soft Contact Lens
2012
PURPOSE To evaluate the visual performance of the Proclear multifocal toric contact lens (CL; CooperVision, US) for both presbyopia and astigmatism correction. METHODS In this crossover study design, 20 presbyopic subjects with astigmatism were fitted in a random order with either Proclear multifocal toric CL or Proclear toric single vision distance CL (DCL) combined with reading spectacles. After 1 month, high-contrast distance visual acuity, near high-contrast visual acuity, distance contrast sensitivity (CS) under photopic and mesopic conditions without and with glare, near CS, defocus curve, and stereopsis were measured. Subjects were then refitted with the alternative correction, and t…
The combination of diffractive and refractive multifocal intraocular lenses to provide full visual function after cataract surgery.
2009
PURPOSE To investigate if implantation of a far dominant refractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in one eye and a near dominant diffractive multifocal IOL in the fellow eye improves range of vision following cataract surgery. METHODS This was a prospective, nonrandomized, case-control study involving 20 patients (40 eyes) scheduled for cataract surgery. Inclusion criteria were bilateral cataracts, minimum age 50 years, availability for follow-up visits, and informed consent. All patients received a far dominant refractive multifocal IOL (ReZoom, Abbott Medical Optics) in their dominant eye and a near dominant diffractive multifocal IOL (Tecnis ZM900, AMO) in their nondominant eye. Preo…
