BACKGROUND Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a common long-term complication of cataract surgery. Intraocular lens design and material have been implicated in influencing the development of PCO. This study evaluated the association of hydrophobic and hydrophilic intraocular lenses on preventing PCO. METHODS Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases were searched until Au...

The appearance of images through a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) was simulated. The optical transfer function (OTF) of a model eye containing the multifocal lens was measured and divided by the OTF of the model eye with a monofocal IOL. This ratio was used to filter digital images, generating simulations that represent the retinal images seen through a multifocal intraocular lens when viewe...

We report three cases of extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation in two patients with anterior megalophthalmus. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of intraocular lens implantation in this rare condition.

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...
