Cataract surgery has evolved. The goal of the surgeon includes both restoration of vision and refinement of vision. Patients' desire for spectacle independence has driven the market for presbyopia-correcting cataract surgery and development of novel intraocular lens (IOL) designs. The Tecnis(®) Multifocal Intraocular Lens incorporates an aspheric, modified anterior prolate IOL with a diffractiv...

We describe a case of buphthalmos and coexisting cataract undergoing clear corneal phacoemulsification where a routinely available, normal sized lens was implanted using the novel technique of 'Rhexis fixation of IOL'.

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the predictability of the postoperative refraction and refractive changes in pediatric pseudophakia. METHODS Prospective, longitudinal follow-up on patients under the age of 15 years operated on for a cataract with intraocular lens, with 5 continuous years of follow-up. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to age at the time of the surgery: group from 0 to 2 ye...

UNLABELLED This report describes 6 cases in which neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser anterior capsulectomy achieved limited success in treating negative dysphotopsia. In 5 eyes with the Akreos AO MI60L posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL), the dysphotopsia symptoms resolved completely (3 eyes) and partially (2 eyes) depending on the extent of the Nd:YAG laser anterior capsulectomy. In 1 eye wi...

We studied 400 eyes which underwent cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation to compare the predictive accuracy of various IOL power calculation formulae. The new Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK) II formula was more accurate than the original SRK and Binkhorst II formulae. Modification of the A constants used in the SRK II formula to make it 'surgeon specific' ...

The intraocular magnet (IOM) is a new device based on permanent magnetism providing controlled energy for removal of magnetic intraocular foreign bodies. Its use is reported in 11 cases.

A 67-year-old woman with chronic bilateral intraocular inflammation associated with vitreous cells and subretinal pigment epithelium (RPE) infiltrates (A–B) underwent a chorioretinal biopsy in the left eye after three negative vitreous biopsies. Sub-RPE deposits on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (C) corresponded to collections of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells on histopathogy...

Intraocular lens development is driven by higher patient expectations for ideal visual outcomes. The recently US Food and Drug Administration-approved Softec HD(™) lens is an aspheric, hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL). The hydrophilic design of the lens is optimized to address dysphotopsia while maintaining biocompatibility, optical clarity, resistance to damage, and resistance to bio...
