in view of the rapid expansion of contact lens amongst the users, new dimensions have been added to the domain of ophthalmology: giant papillay conjunctivitis, a disease caused by different kinds of contact lens, appears weeks or months after they are used, although some patients are struck years later. the predominant symptoms are increased awareness of lenses, ocular itching, blurred vision a...

Background: Contact lenses are transparent, thin plastic disks that cover the surface of the cornea. Appropriate lens prescription should be performed properly by an expert to provide better visual acuity and reduce side effects. The lens administration is a multi-stage, complex and time-consuming process involving many considerations. The purpose of this study was to develop a decision support...

In this research work, a multibeam antenna which is a combination of a beamformer network (BFN) and a linear array antenna, has been designed. A Rotman lens has been chosen as beamformer network and Vivaldi antennas have been selected for constructing array antenna. The Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) was used for implementing Rotman lens. After explanation the structure of Substrate integ...

purpose: to evaluate visual function in patients with different types of light-filtering intraocular lenses (iols) methods: in this prospective comparative clinical study cataract patients with different types of iols in khatam-al-anbia eye hospital, mashhad were enrolled and followed for three months postoperatively. corrected distance visual acuity (cdva), color discrimination under photopic ...

purpose: to describe the biometric changes and their effect on intraocular lens (iol) power calculation after trabeculectomy and to compare the accuracy of four formulas namely srk/ii, srk/t, holladay and hoffer q for iol power calculation in these patients. methods: thirty-four eyes of 31 glaucoma patients who were scheduled for primary trabeculectomy were enrolled. a non-contact biometry devi...

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...

purpose: to compare visual outcomes and surgical complications of three phakic intraocular lenses (piols); artisan, artiflex and the implantable collamer lens (icl) for correction of moderate to high myopia. methods: in this historical cohort study, 112 myopic eyes that were operated between 2005 and 2010 and implanted with one of these three piols were evaluated (artisan 40 eyes, artiflex 36 e...

background: silicon hydrogel bandage contact lenses are used to enhance epithelial healing, control surface-generated pain, and prevent epithelial erosions after refractive surgery. considering the importance of faster reepithelialization in preventing complications of photorefractive keratectomy (prk) and the fact that the features and specifications of these commercially-available lenses are ...
