PURPOSE To show the clinical use of the NIDEK OPD-Scan wavefront aberrometer and OPD-Station software in anterior segment surgery and pathology. METHODS Case examples are presented along with discussion about the relevant clinical data obtained from the OPD-Scan and OPD-Station software. RESULTS Six case examples including cataract surgery, secondary IOL implantation, phakic intraocular len...

BACKGROUND The surgical case of a dropped intraocular lens inside the vitreous cavity constitutes a real challenge for the operating surgeon. Herein, we describe a case series where an alternative optical rehabilitation technique for late intraocular lens-bag complex dislocation has been used. METHODS A modern vitrectomy device was used to remove the capsule with the dropped intraocular lens ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the contrast sensitivity and stereopsis tests in patients who underwent bilateral implantation of multifocal intraocular lens. METHODS Tests of contrast sensitivity using the Pelli-Robson chart and stereopsis evaluation with the Titmus Stereo Test were performed in 20 patients 30-60 days after the bilateral implantation of Acrysof Restor multifocal intraocular lens. RESU...

PURPOSE To determine the efficacy, stability, and predictability of refractive surgery for hyperopia using four different procedures: photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), implantation of a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), and removing the transparent lens with IOL implantation. METHODS We operated on 184 eyes with hyperopia; 56 eyes had less than +2.00 D (lo...

BACKGROUND Phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation has been used to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism, although corneal decompensation can occur after implantation. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) has gained in popularity due to its lower postoperative astigmatism and endothelial loss. Herein, we report the use of FLACS in patients who previously received PIOL implan...
