PURPOSE To assess the Artisan intraocular lens to correct myopia in phakic eyes. SETTING European multicenter study sponsored by Ophtec BV, Groningen, The Netherlands. METHODS In this prospective multicenter clinical study, the Artisan lens was implanted in 518 eyes between September 1991 and October 1999. The power of the lenses ranged from -5.0 to -20.0 diopters (D). Follow-up examination...

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the Nigerian slit gong is reported. It is shown that in tuning the gong the artisan ensures that the frequencies of the two lowest mechanical resonances are nearly coincident with the frequencies of two of the acoustic resonances of the internal cavity. Four possible tuning parameters are identified and the effects of changing these parameters ar...

PURPOSE To psychophysically measure spherical and irregular aberrations in patients with various types of myopia correction. SETTING Laboratory of Experimental Ophthalmology, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands. METHODS Three groups of patients with low myopia correction (spectacles, soft contact lens, and Intacs) and 4 groups with high myopia correction (spectacles, rigid c...

On April 3 2006, the SysMLTM Merge Team (SMT), chaired by Sanford Friedenthal of Lockheed Martin Corp, submitted draft SysMLv1.0 to the OMG (Object Management Group) for adoption. The SysML specification was in response to the joint Request for Proposal issued by the OMG and INCOSE (the International Council on Systems Engineering) for a customized version of UML 2 designed to address the speci...

UNLABELLED We present 3 cases with oculocutaneous albinism in which a high refractive error was optically corrected by implantation of an Artisan iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens, with a follow-up of 8 to 14 years. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.

METHODS: Retrospective analysis of data from patients who underwent toric iris-fi xated pIOL (Artifl ex® and Artisan®) implantation in Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Central between 2009 and 2013. Th e main parameters evaluated were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), manifest refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), central endothelial cell count (ECC) and complicat...

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the iris claw phakic intraocular lens (Artisan; Ophtec BV, Groningen, The Netherlands) in patients with high myopia. METHODS Between May 1999 and July 2001, 93 Artisan phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) were implanted in 60 patients affected by high myopia. All patients underwent 24-month follow-up. The power of the lenses ranged from -7.5 to -22.0...

purpose: to report clinical outcomes of crystalline lens extraction and iris claw artisan intraocular lens (iol) implantation in patients with lens subluxation secondary to marfan syndrome.  methods: this retrospective study enrolled 14 eyes of 12 marfan patients with lens subluxation who underwent crystalline lens removal and artisan iol implantation. pre- and post-operative data, including pa...

This study aims to map out the challenges of existing design collaborations in craft sectors and delineate different types value associated with artisan designer collaboration. A systematic literature review was undertaken, examining peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2000 2022. The results indicate three levels sustainable created from designer-artisan collaboration, which includ...
