Current Opinion in Ophthalmology 2008, 19:357–362 Purpose of review Corneal refractive procedures have become increasingly popular over the past decade allowing patients to have excellent uncorrected visual acuity and spectacle independence. As these individuals mature, many will eventually undergo cataract surgery. With the advances in modern cataract surgery and lens implant technology, parti...

BACKGROUND To systematically evaluate the visual performance of aspheric AcrySof IQ and spherical AcrySof Natural intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Potential randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that involved implanting AcrySof IQ and AcrySof Natural were searched from PubMed, Web of science, EMBASE, Chinese Science and Technology Periodicals Databas...

This 30-year-old patient had a high myopia and with-the-rule astigmatism. Her best-corrected-visual-acuity was 20/20 with -6.75 -2.50 x 10. cornea an asymmetric bowtie, we were concerned laser vision correction. We then decided to implant toric phakic intraocular lens (Visian ICL® toric) and, 1 week after surgery, she J1 uncorrected. Note the central anterior vaulting of away from crystalline l...

PURPOSE The aim of the study is to evaluate the visual acuity and patient satisfaction at varied distances under photopic and mesopic lighting conditions in patients bilaterally implanted with aspheric diffractive multifocal one-piece intraocular lenses. METHODS In this retrospective-prospective study, 16 patients with a mean age of 66.2±9.2 years (range: 50-81 years) who had undergone bilate...
