BACKGROUND With recent advances in technology and introduction of new intraocular lens (IOL) models, surgeons today have the opportunity to choose from various optical designs, which can influence the postoperative quality of vision. In our laboratory study, we compared the optical quality of three different IOLs that use the identical platform and are produced by the same manufacturer. The stu...

Background: The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation aspheric IOL with steep-axis incision for correcting mild moderate corneal astigmatism in cataract patients.

PURPOSE To compare the contrast sensitivity of an intraocular lens (IOL) with a modified prolate anterior surface (Tecnis Z9000, Pfizer), with 2 standard spherical IOLs (Sensar AR40e Opti-Edge IOL, AMO and AcrySof Natural SN60AT IOL, Alcon). METHODS In this prospective study, 98 eyes of 71 patients received 1 of 3 IOLs at random. After 6 months, best corrected visual acuity, pupil size and co...

AIM To prospectively investigate changes in the area of the anterior capsule opening, and intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt after implantation of a hydrogel IOL. METHODS 100 patients underwent implantation of a hydrogel IOL in one eye and an acrylic IOL implantation in the opposite eye. The area of the anterior capsule opening, and the degree of IOL decentration and tilt were measu...

Background: Opacification of ophthalmic devices has been previously reported in silicone scleral buckle, Molteno implant, and intraocular lens opacification. However, there is no report on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lens (IOL) calcification. Objective: Report the clinical feature, histopathologic and spectrophotometer analysis of opacified three-piece PMMA IOL. Method: A 60-year...

We experienced a case of intraocular lens (IOL) luxation with the capsular bag after vitrectomy. The case was a 66-year-old female in whom an IOL was implanted one year after surgery for giant tear retinal detachment using silicone oil. Four years after the implantation surgery, the patient suffered subluxation of the IOL with the capsular bag. Examinations of the luxated IOL with the capsular ...

PURPOSE To evaluate refractive results with a low-cylinder-power toric intraocular lens (IOL) and the effect of preoperative corneal astigmatism orientation on results. SETTING Private practice, Jackson, Michigan, USA. DESIGN Comparative case series. METHODS This retrospective review of clinical records comprised patients with 0.75 to 1.38 diopters (D) of preoperative corneal astigmatism ...

PURPOSE To assess the safety and outcome of single-piece posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) implantation in the ciliary sulcus following posterior capsular rupture during cataract surgery. METHODS Patients with posterior capsular rupture during cataract surgery with a single-piece acrylic IOL implanted into the ciliary sulcus were studied. Complete ocular examinations were performed ...

PURPOSE Intraocular lymphoma (IOL) frequently coexists with primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL). We sought to determine the efficacy of high-dose methotrexate (MTX) alone in patients with IOL. We also sought to determine whether micromolar levels of MTX could be achieved in the aqueous and vitreous humor of the eye after i.v. administration of the drug. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Nine pat...

PURPOSE To evaluate the benefit of various surgical methods to address pseudophakic negative dysphotopsia. SETTING Private practice, Los Angeles, California, USA. DESIGN Interventional case series. METHODS The following 4 surgical methods were used to treat negative dysphotopsia: secondary piggyback intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, reverse optic capture, in-the-bag IOL exchange, and i...
