PURPOSE: To compare the refractive power profile, subjective depth-of-field and objective optical quality of two advanced monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) designed to improve intermediate vision. METHODS: This prospective study evaluated forty-six eyes of twenty-three patients, aged 54-68 years, binocularly implanted with two monofocal enhanced intraocular lenses (IOLs), the Tecnis Eyhance and the Physiol Isopure. Subjective through-focus visual acuity curves were obtained by placing trial lenses in front of the eye while wearing its best spherical-cylindrical correction for distance...

PURPOSE: To propose a minimum specification dataset to characterize liquid ocular endotamponades (OEs), namely silicone oil (SO), heavy SO (HSO), perfluorodecalin (PFD), and perfluoro-octane (PFO), in terms of physicochemical properties, purity and available evidence of safety, in line with ISO16672:2020. METHODS: An evidence-based consensus using the expert panel technique was conducted. Two facilitators led a committee of 11 European experts. Facilitators prepared a dataset for each compound including the list of specifications relevant for the safety, identified by the group members on the basis of expertise and a comprehensive literature review...

PURPOSE: To identify the specific clinical and angiographic variables that determine the success of intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) in a patient with retinoblastoma. METHODS: Medical records from patients undergoing intra-arterial chemotherapy for the treatment of retinoblastoma between January 2015 and June 2020 within a large academic ocular oncology practice were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics were recorded together with clinical, ocular, and angiographic variables such as the diameter of the ophthalmic artery (OA), angle of ophthalmic artery takeoff, and branching pattern of ophthalmic vasculature...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of nondamaging subthreshold laser therapy in Korean patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC). METHODS: This retrospective interventional case series included 31 patients (31 eyes) with cCSC who underwent nondamaging laser therapy using Endpoint Management (EpM) software. Since a barely visible burn of the test spot was defined as 100% pulse energy, 30% pulse energy with a 200-μm spot was titrated to treat the macular area based on EpM settings...

PURPOSE: To explore the role of choroidopathy in diabetic retinopathy (DR) by investigating the correlation between alterations of choroidal vessel and photoreceptors during the early stage of DR. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional comparison of diabetic patients without DR (NDR group; n=16) and those with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR group; n=39). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of choroidal vessel alterations and photoreceptor structures were evaluated using the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and adjusted ellipsoid zone (EZ) reflectivity, respectively...

BACKGROUND: Pars plana vitrectomy is the standard treatment for several vitreoretinal diseases. Continuous improvements in ophthalmic surgical techniques have led to excellent postoperative recovery of the anatomic structure of the fundus. However, postoperative visual outcomes are not always satisfactory. METHODS: A literature search of articles published before 31 December 2022 was conducted on PubMed using the following keywords: "diabetic retinopathy," "rhegmatogenous retinal detachment," "idiopathic epiretinal membrane," "idiopathic macular hole," "vitrectomy," "optical coherence tomography," "optical coherence tomography angiography," "microstructure," "microstructural," "hemodynamic," "hemodynamics," and "microcirculation...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of residual astigmatism on the optical and visual performance of an enhanced-monofocal isofocal intraocular lens (EM Isopure, BVI medical, Belgium) compared to a monofocal one (Micropure, BVI medical, Belgium). METHODS: Laboratory investigation and prospective, comparative and randomized clinical study. Optical quality was assessed on an optical bench for 2.0, 3.0, and 4.5 mm pupils. The effect of residual astigmatism was investigated from through-focus images recorded with increasing amounts of regular positive astigmatism induced with a deformable mirror...

PURPOSE: This is, to our knowledge, the first network meta-analysis aiming to compare all treatment modalities for myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV). METHODS: After the electronic databases were searched, two independent reviewers screened titles, abstracts, full-texts, and extracted information. Primary endpoints were change in visual outcome and central retinal thickness. We used a network meta-analysis to compare treatment outcomes in the early (≤ 6 months) and late (> 6 months) phase...
