PURPOSE To describe the results of cataract extraction with toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in patients with preexisting astigmatism from three corneal conditions (keratoconus, postkeratoplasty, and postpterygium surgery). METHODS Cataract patients with topographically stable, fairly regular (although sometimes very high) corneal astigmatism underwent phacoemulsification with implan...

BACKGROUND/AIM Acrylic lens size and shape may influence the rate of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and need for Nd:YAG capsulotomy. The aim of this study is to compare the Nd:YAG capsulotomy rate of the three piece acrylic/PMMA AcrySof MA series lens with the one piece acrylic AcrySof SA series lens. METHODS 434 eyes of 329 patients who had cataract extraction and implantation of one ...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Acrysof Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) implantation in cataract surgery for the correction of regular corneal astigmatism. Methods: Twenty eyes of 16 patients with cataract and regular corneal astigmatism of 1.00-4.00 diopter (D) underwent surgery. Depending on the amount of corneal astigmatism, an Acrysof Toric IOL of type SN...

OBJECTIVES To describe the refractive outcome of toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation by comparing the postoperative refractive astigmatism with the preoperative keratometric astigmatism target. METHOD In a university department of a publicly funded hospital, 38 eyes of 29 patients underwent routine cataract surgery with insertion of a toric implant (SN60TT AcrySof Toric). Surgically ind...

PURPOSE To evaluate astigmatism correction, visual performance, intraocular lens (IOL) position, and wavefront error after implantation of toric IOLs in patients with cataract. METHODS This prospective study comprised 30 eyes of 30 patients with cataract who were candidates for phacoemulsification and implantation of the AcrySof toric IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). Mean preop...

purpose: to evaluate the safety, efficacy, stability and predictability of posterior chamber collagen copolymer phakic intraocular lens (piol) implantation to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism in keratoconus-affected patients. methods: uncorrected (ucva) and best-corrected (bcva) distance visual acuity, refraction and complications were evaluated in 22 keratoconic eyes of 14 patients who un...

Author(s): Schallhorn, Julie M | Abstract: PurposeTo review and compare the results of unpublished premarket approval studies for recent multifocal extended depth focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses.MethodsLenses without previously published pre-market trials were identified clinical patient-reported outcomes reviewed compared.ResultsLenses included DFT/DAT (Acrysof Vivity) EDOF lens, TFNT/TFAT (Pa...

BACKGROUND We report the case of a 40-year-old female patient treated with implantation of the Acrysof® IQ ReSTOR® lens (Alcon, Fort Worth, Tex., USA) with overlaying Acrysof EXpand® minus piggyback lens (Alcon). METHODS The patient had high myopia and was diagnosed with presbyopia and bilateral posterior subcapsular cataract. She desired to be spectacle-free and opted to undergo bilateral pl...

AIM To compare the visual outcomes (distance and near) in patients opting for three different types of monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) (Matrix Aurium, AcrySof single piece, and AcrySof IQ lens). METHODS The present study is a cross-sectional analysis of secondary clinical data collected from 153 eyes (52 eyes in Matrix Aurium, 48 in AcrySof single piece, and 53 in AcrySof IQ group) undergoin...
