Optical and visual performance of diffractive intraocular lens implantation after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis

2008

To evaluate the optical and visual quality in eyes with diffractive intraocular lenses (IOLs) after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA [distance]) at 12.5%, 25.0%, and 100% contrasts under photopic and mesopic conditions; best distance-corrected near acuity; corneal total higher-order aberrations (HOAs); and optical quality by modulation transfer function (MTF) were measured after myopic LASIK in eyes with a spherical AcrySof ReSTOR SN60D3 IOL or an aspheric Acri.LISA 366D IOL and phakic eyes (control).Under photopic conditions at 100% contrast, the BCVA was 0.1 logMAR or better in all g…

Visual and Refractive Outcomes in Hyperopic Pseudophakic Patients Implanted with the Acri.LISA 366D Multifocal Intraocular Lens

2009

Our purpose was to assess the visual quality after bilateral implantation of the Acri.LISA 366D intraocular lens (IOL; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) in patients with hyperopia. We did a prospective and nonrandomized study. One hundred and seventy eyes of 85 patients had bilateral implantation of the Acri.LISA 366D IOL. The patients were divided into 2 groups: low to moderate hyperopia (IOL power, 21 to 24.5 diopters [D]) and high hyperopia (IOL power, 25 to 36 D). Monocular and binocular best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), best distance-corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA), binocular best distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (VA), and distance contrast sensitivity …

Phakic intraocular lenses to correct high myopia

2003

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of using phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) to correct high myopia by comparing 3 IOL models: Adatomed, Staar, and Artisan. Setting: La Fe University Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology, and the Fundacion Oftalmologica del Mediterraneo, Valencia, Spain. Methods: In this prospective comparative study, a phakic IOL was implanted in 217 highly myopic eyes (118 patients). Fifty-nine eyes received an Adatomed IOL, 21 eyes a Staar IOL, and 137 eyes an Artisan IOL. The mean preoperative spherical equivalent was −15.39 diopters (D) ± 2.83 (SD), −16.00 ± 5.05 D, and −16.17 ± 2.75 D in the Adatomed, Staar, and Artisan groups, respectively. The …

AbstractMyopia, currently at epidemic levels in East Asia, is a leading cause of untreatable visual impairment. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in adults have identified 39 loci associated with refractive error and myopia. Here, the age-of-onset of association between genetic variants at these 39 loci and refractive error was investigated in 5200 children assessed longitudinally across ages 7–15 years, along with gene-environment interactions involving the major environmental risk-factors, nearwork and time outdoors. Specific variants could be categorized as showing evidence of: (a) early-onset effects remaining stable through childhood, (b) early-onset effects that progressed furthe…

<p>Visual And Refractive Outcomes In Hyperopic Pseudophakic Patients Implanted With A Trifocal Intraocular Lens</p>

2019

Purpose To assess visual and refractive results after bilateral implantation of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in patients with hyperopia. Methods In a retrospective nonrandomized study, 196 eyes of 98 patients had bilateral implantation of a trifocal IOL. The Barrett Universal II formula was used for IOL power calculation. Eyes were divided into two groups for their analysis: low-moderate, with IOL power ranging from 22 to 26 D, and high, with IOL power ranging from 25 to 34 D. Refractive error was used to assess predictability, and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity values were used to assess efficacy and safety of the surgery.
