Innovative intraocular lens loading magnified

Intraocular lens calculation for aspheric intraocular lenses.

PURPOSE To evaluate the possible benefits of biometry and ray-tracing intraocular lens (IOL) calculation for aspheric aberration-correcting IOLs. SETTING Private eye clinic in Germany. DESIGN Retrospective consecutive case series. METHODS Eyes with 3 different aberration-correcting IOLs were reviewed. Before surgery, the axial length, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, crystalline...

Anterior Segment Intraocular Lens

Currently, posterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) correct totally or partially spherical aberrations. In this article we present the visual results of a prospective multicentre study evaluating the Micro AY IOL correcting 0.11μm of spherical aberration, which is a good compromise between optimal vision and a consistent depth of focus. We evaluated 124 eyes that were operated on using bi-ma...

Piggyback intraocular lens implantation.

The piggyback method of implanting two intraocular lenses in one eye has been successfully expanded to address pseudophakic refractive error in normal eyes and eyes that have undergone post-penetrating keratoplasty. Piggyback implantation has been combined with the use of newly available minus-power lenses to provide appropriate power for a cataract patient with keratoconus, as well as to corre...

Lens vacuoles during phakic intraocular lens implantation

Lens damage during phakic intraocular lens implantation is a major complication. A case of a patient who developed lens vacuoles during toric implantable collamer lens (ICL) removal from her right eye and insertion of a new non-toric ICL due to persistent rotation of the former is presented in this work. As this event is very uncommon when implanting phakic intraocular lenses, the performed sur...
