PURPOSE To evaluate the development of visual acuity, dysphotopsia phenomena, and subjective sensations in patients implanted with the Tecnis(®) ZMB00 (Advanced Medical Optics Inc, Santa Ana, CA) multifocal intraocular lens. METHODS In a sample of 70 eyes, distance and near visual acuity, with and without correction, contrast sensitivity, and patient satisfaction, were analyzed at 15, 30, and...

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of cataract surgery using ARTIS ® PL E (Cristalens Industrie, Lannion, France) intraocular lens (IOL) and conventional Tecnis ZCB00 (Johnson & Johnson Vision, Santa Ana, CA, USA) IOL.Methods: This retrospective study examined patients who underwent in-the-bag implantation either an (33 eyes, group A) or (45 B) IOL after phacoemulsification performed...

To compare the clinical outcome of digital and manual marking for toric intraocular lens (IOL) alignment. This is a prospective clinical study that included 60 eyes of 60 patients undergoing cataract surgery with coexisting corneal astigmatism more than 1 diopter (D). The eyes were randomly assigned to either digital image guidance using VERION digital marker (Alcon Laboratories, Ft. Worth, TX)...

BACKGROUND To evaluate lens epithelial cell (LEC) proliferation with two different designs (one-piece or three-piece) of hydrophobic acrylic IOLs with 360° square optic edge using an in vitro culture model of posterior capsule opacification (PCO). METHODS This experimental study was conducted at the Department of NEUROFARBA, Section of Pharmacology, University of Florence, Italy. Human LECs w...

AIMS To evaluate the influence of decentration on optical performance in multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) using eye models. METHODS This study evaluated 4 types of multifocal IOLs (ReSTOR SA60D3, Alcon; TECNIS Multifocal ZM900, AMO; ReZoom, AMO; SFX-MV1, Hoya). The evaluations were based on measurements of the near and far modulation transfer function (MTF) and visualized actual near imag...

PURPOSE To evaluate blue-light attenuation in eyes with a tinted intraocular lens (IOL) or an untinted IOL. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Crete, Crete, Greece. DESIGN Comparative case series. METHODS Patients had lens extraction and implantation of an Acrysof Natural tinted or Tecnis ZA9003 or Softec III untinted acrylic IOL. The luminance ratio of green (530...

PURPOSE To compare the amount of straylight in natural pupils and dilated pupils in pseudophakic eyes 6 weeks and 1 year after cataract extraction. SETTING Laboratory of Experimental Ophthalmology, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands. METHODS This study evaluated patients with bilateral age-related cataract who had cataract surgery with i...
