PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the iol-AMD technology (London Eye Hospital Pharma, London, UK), which includes two injectable, hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) in a pilot study of patients diagnosed as having cataract and dry age-related macular degeneration. METHODS The cataract surgery and IOL implantation were performed after a preoperative evaluation using the...

PURPOSE To assess the response time associated with visual performance (VP) tasks in the presence of defocus in different presbyopic populations. METHODS 58 eyes between the ages of 35 and 50 years were studied. Subjects were categorized as pre-presbyopic (35-39 years), early-presbyopic (40-45 years), and mid-presbyopic (46-50 years). VP measurements obtained monocularly included distance and...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical outcomes after the implantation of a new trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) combined with Enhanced depth of focus (EDOF) technology. METHODS The study enrolled 80 eyes of 40 patients who underwent cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of a diffractive trifocal IOL (Reviol Tri-ED) designed with a combination of enhanced depth of focus. Mean a...

PURPOSE To evaluate the distance, intermediate and near visual acuity of patients with bilateral cataract operated on both eyes corrected for distance in one eye and for near in the fellow eye, as well as, their stereo acuity and their general satisfaction. SETTINGS Hospital de Olhos de São Paulo and Complexo Hospitalar Padre Bento - Guarulhos - São Paulo - Brazil. METHODS This is a prospec...

PURPOSE The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize and appraise the evidence of the benefits of presbyopic correction on the cornea for visual function. SUMMARY Comprehensive search was conducted in MEDLINE using keywords like "presbylasik", "presbyopic refractive surgery", "corneal pseudoaccommodation" and "corneal multifocality". We reviewed corrected and uncorrected visual acuitie...

Abstract In children with Down syndrome (DS) development of visual, motor and cognitive functions is atypical. It unknown whether the visual impairments in DS aggravate their lag development. Visual impairment developmental lags adaptive behaviour executive were assessed 104 DS, 2–16 years, by comparing behaviour, acuity (distant near) scores against published age-matched norm typically develop...

PURPOSE To evaluate the visual outcomes of patients with a new diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS A trifocal diffractive Fine Vision IOL (Physiol, Liege, Belgium) was implanted after microincision cataract surgery (MICS) in 40 eyes of 20 patients with bilateral cataract. The monocular and binocular visual performance and the refractive status were assessed, as well as the de...
