Accuracy of the Refractive Prediction Determined by Multiple Currently Available Intraocular Lens Power Calculation Formulas in Small Eyes
I read with interest the recently published paper by Carifi and associates regarding formula accuracy in very small eyes (<21 mm) and some questions arose. Why is the “target refraction” mentioned…
Comparison of Outcomes of Primary Anterior Chamber Versus Secondary Scleral-Fixated Intraocular Lens Implantation in Complicated Cataract Surgeries
We read with great interest the article by Chan and associates evaluating the visual outcomes and complications between patients implanted with primary anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) or secondary scleral-fixated…
Comparison of Contrast Sensitivity and Through Focus in Small-Aperture Inlay, Accommodating Intraocular Lens, or Multifocal Intraocular Lens Subjects
Purpose To compare monocular and binocular mesopic contrast sensitivity and through focus following monocular implantation with KAMRA small-aperture inlay (AcuFocus, Irvine, California, USA) vs binocular implantation with an accommodating or…
Influence of Patient Age at Surgery on Long-Term Corneal Astigmatic Change Subsequent to Cataract Surgery
Purpose To examine whether long-term corneal astigmatic change with age after cataract surgery depends on patient age at the time of surgery, and to evaluate whether this change is different…
Corneal Cross-linking as an Adjuvant Therapy in the Management of Recalcitrant Deep Stromal Fungal Keratitis: A Randomized Trial
Purpose To assess the efficacy of corneal cross-linking (CXL) as an adjuvant to appropriate antifungal therapy in nonresolving deep stromal fungal keratitis. Design Randomized clinical trial. Methods Eyes with culture-positive…
Changes in Keratocyte Density and Visual Function Five Years After Laser In Situ Keratomileusis: Femtosecond Laser Versus Mechanical Microkeratome
Purpose To determine the effects of keratocyte loss on optical properties and vision after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with the flap created with a femtosecond laser or a mechanical microkeratome….
Effects of Dry Eye Therapies on Environmentally Induced Ocular Surface Disease
Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of artificial tears and corticosteroids on mitigating the acute ocular surface response to low-humidity environments. Design Single-group, crossover clinical trial. Methods Twenty subjects with aqueous…
Tear Osmolarity and Ocular Surface Parameters as Diagnostic Markers of Ocular Graft-Versus-Host Disease
Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic value of tear osmolarity and several ocular surface parameters in screening for ocular surface alterations in ocular graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) patients. Design Case-control study. Methods…
