PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy and safety of the glasses-free three-dimensional (3D) display and conventional optical microscope in Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL; STAAR Surgical) surgery. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial enrolled 51 eyes of 26 patients who received ICL surgery. After random allocation, patients received surgery under either a glasses-free 3D display (16 eyes) or a conventional optical microscope (35 eyes). The surgical duration, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intraocular pressure, vault, postoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), and complications were evaluated...

PURPOSE: To evaluate visual performance, spectacle independence, and quality of vision of new intraocular lenses (IOLs) for presbyopia correction with an aspheric inverted meniscus optical design (ArtIOLs; Voptica SL) in patients undergoing bilateral cataract surgery. METHODS: In this prospective study, 60 eyes from 30 patients implanted bilaterally with Art40 and Art70 IOLs were included. These new IOLs were designed with an inverted meniscus shape to improve the peripheral performance and with aspheric surfaces to induce different amounts of negative spherical aberration in each IOL model...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the medium-term impact of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) on air-puff tonometry (APT) and how it may be corrected. METHODS: In this controlled prospective study, 69 eyes from 69 patients treated with SMILE for high myopia (mean: -7.22 diopters) were included. Central corneal thickness (CCT), spherical equivalent refraction (SEQ), corneal power, and intraocular pressure (IOP) (assessed by APT) were measured before and 3 months after surgery...

PURPOSE: To describe an approach using sequential excimer laser ablation of the stromal surface of the corneal flap with or without subsequent excimer ablation to the stromal bed to reduce presbyopic inlay-associated corneal haze. METHODS: Twelve patients who underwent KAMRA inlay (Acufocus) explantation due to corneal haze were included. The mean interval between explantation and the primary surgery (phototherapeutic keratotomy [PTK] to corneal flap) was 16.2 ± 29...

PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy, safety, predictability, and stability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the treatment of presbyopia. METHODS: The databases of CNKI, VIP, Wan-Fang, CBM, Chinese Clinical Registry, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched until March 2023. The authors chose the studies of LASIK in the treatment of presbyopia. Outcomes were efficacy, safety, predictability, and stability...

PURPOSE: To investigate the influence of lenticule extraction on subjective symptoms and objective biomarkers of dry eye and to clarify relationships between markers and find indicators for subjective symptoms after lenticule extraction. METHODS: Right eyes of myopic patients undergoing lenticule extraction surgery (n = 35) were examined preoperatively and 5 and 90 days postoperatively using established clinical dry eye examination methods (tear film break-up time [BUT], Schirmer test, lissamine green and fluorescein staining, and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire)...

PURPOSE: To explore the diffusion depth and green light corneal cross-linking efficacy of different rose bengal (Rb) infiltration times in rabbit eyes. METHODS: Twenty-eight fresh rabbit eyes were deepithelialized and infiltrated in 0.1% Rb solution for 2 to 30 minutes. Corneal frozen sections were cut and Rb diffusion depth was observed under the confocal microscope. A further 36 rabbits were randomly divided into eight groups according to the type of treatment (control, Rb infiltration only without irradiation, rose bengal/green light [RGX] for different infiltration times, or riboflavin/ultraviolet radiation [UVX])...

PURPOSE: To assess the clinical and aberrometric outcomes of a new Implantable Collamer Lens (EVO Viva ICL; STAAR Surgical) to correct moderate to high myopia and presbyopia. METHODS: The study included 80 eyes of 40 patients who had bilateral EVO Viva ICL implantation. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, refraction, presbyopic add power, binocular through-focus visual acuity, total ocular spherical aberration (SA), coma aberration, and root mean square of ocular higher order aberrations (RMS HOAs) (i-Trace Aberrometer; Tracey Technologies) for a 4...

PURPOSE: To compare the dynamic vault range (the difference in the central vault height from scotopic to photopic light condition) after implantation of the ICL/TICL (STAAR Surgical) and Eyecryl phakic/Eyecryl phakic toric intraocular lens (IOL) (Biotech Healthcare). METHODS: This retrospective study included patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism eligible for phakic IOL implantation with either the ICL/TICL or Eyecryl phakic/Eyecryl phakic toric IOL. Vault changes in varying light conditions (scotopic, mesopic, and photopic) were assessed using an anterior segment optical coherence tomography-based tomographer and dynamic vault range (DVR) was compared between the two groups...

PURPOSE: To study the distribution of spherical aberration (SA) in astigmatic corneas in a cataract population and the relationship between magnitude of corneal astigmatism and fourth-order corneal SA. METHODS: Data routinely collected using a Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam; Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH) were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with a minimum age of 60 years were included. Total corneal SA (from anterior and posterior corneal surface) was obtained for a 6-mm cor-neal area aligned with the pupil center...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the levels of habituation and its influence on outcome satisfaction in patients who underwent bilateral multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS: A total of 24 patients underwent bilateral multifocal IOL implantation surgery with the AcrySof IQ PanOptix trifocal diffractive IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) following cataract extraction or for refractive purposes. Data were collected 3 and 6 months after surgery, which included subjective refraction, corrected and uncorrected visual acuity (distance, intermediate, near), a contrast sensitivity test, simulation with the Halo & Glare Simulator (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG), two visual quality surveys, and a slit-lamp examination by an ophthalmologist...

PURPOSE: To investigate clinical characteristics and tear film biomarkers of patients with chronic dry eye disease (DED) following femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK). METHODS: Patients were divided into the chronic DED after FS-LASIK (n = 36), DED without FS-LASIK (n = 39), and normal control (without FS-LASIK; n = 34) groups. Dry eye, pain, and psychological-related symptoms were evaluated using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory Modified for the Eye (NPSI-Eye), and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) questionnaires...
