BACKGROUD The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) has been used widely for refractive errors, We performed this prospective randomized comparative study to compare postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and vaults of the eyes implanted with conventional ICL and central hole ICL. METHODS This study evaluated 44 eyes of 22 patients who underwent central hole ICL implantation in one eye and conven...

PURPOSE To assess the reliability of school teachers for vision screening of younger school children and to study the pattern of vision problems. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, trained school teachers screened 5,938 school children aged 3 to 8 years for vision and ocular disorders. Children were cross screened by professionals to assess the reliability of the teachers in vision screen...

In the first part of this chapter, the optical condition of astigmatism is defined. The main causes and available classifications of ocular astigmatism are briefly described. The most relevant optical properties of image formation in an astigmatic eye are analysed and compared to that of an emmetropic eye and an eye with spherical ametropia. The spectacle prescription and axis notation for asti...

We present a review of keratorefractive and intraocular approaches to managing residual astigmatic and spherical refractive error after cataract surgery, including laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), arcuate keratotomy, intraocular lens (IOL) exchange, piggyback IOLs, and light-adjustable IOLs. Currently available literature suggests that laser vision correc...

A series of surgical interventions - relaxing corneal incisions, intraocular lens, and intrastromal rings - were used to correct a case of extreme ametropia in a thin cornea after a penetrating keratoplasty in an 18-year-old patient who presented with a -10.25 -8.50 × 120 preoperative refraction and 20/200 best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). After a series of surgical procedures, the patient's...

Implantation of phakic refractive lenses PRL® (Phakic Refractive Lens; IOLTech/Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) is one of the options available for the correction of moderate to high myopia, although there are few reports on the outcomes. In those cases where a corneal laser-assisted surgical procedure is not indicated because of the great amount of tissue to be removed, small optical zone...

Background: Refractive error is defined as a status of refraction. They happen when the shape your eye keeps light from focusing correctly on retina (a light-sensitive layer tissue in back eye). errors are most common type vision problem but many don’t know that they could be seeing well.Methods: This study was cross sectional hospital-based 197 children carried out ophthalmology department Era...
