RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To assess the influence of biometric measurements on the defocus curve after the implantation of enlarged depth-of-focus (EDoF) intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS: Patients who underwent cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of Tecnis Symfony IOL were enrolled. Preoperatively, axial length (AL), corneal keratometry (K), pupil size and corneal aberrations were measured. 1 month after surgery, distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities (VA) were recorded. At 3 months, monocular and binocular corrected contrast sensitivities under photopic and mesopic lighting conditions were measured with CSV-1000E test. At 6-months, the defocus curve between -5.00 to + 3.00 diopters (D) was assessed in steps of 0.50 D, and NEI-RQL-42 questionnaire was administered. RESULTS: One hundred thirty one eyes of 66 patients were included. Binocular logMAR VA better than 0.1 for intermediate vision was obtained in 90% of patients, whereas only 17.7% obtained that result in near vision. The rate of satisfaction was high (96%) and most of them (85.5%) had no or little difficulties in near vision. The mean amplitude of the defocus curve was 2.35D ± 0.73D, and smaller AL, smaller pupils, younger age, and male sex were associated with wider range of clear vision. CONCLUSIONS: Tecnis Symfony IOL enables functional vision at all distances, but demographic variables and preoperative biometric measurements like AL and pupil size influence the postoperative amplitude of the defocus curve. These parameters could be used to predict the performance of EDoF IOLs.

PURPOSE: To evaluate choroidal thickness (CT) and volume in healthy pediatric individuals using enhanced depth imaging spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), as well as its association with age, sex, axial length (AL), and refractive error. METHODS: Ninety-three eyes from 93 healthy pediatric individuals were examined. An Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study grid was applied to analyze CT and volume map in each of its nine sectors. RESULTS: The mean subfoveal CT and volume were 314.22 ± 55.48 µm and 0.25 ± 0.04 mm, respectively. The nasal CT and volume of both the inner and the outer rings were significantly lower than the temporal area of the same ring and lower than the subfoveal choroidal thickness. A significant negative correlation between the subfoveal CT and AL (r = -0.250, P = 0.015) and a significant positive correlation between the subfoveal CT and refractive error (r = 0.238, P = 0.006) were found. The estimation of the variation in the subfoveal CT in relationship to the AL was -13.55 µm per millimeter. The variation in the subfoveal CT with refractive error was 7.52 µm per diopter. The estimation of the variation in the total choroidal volume related to the AL and ametropia was, respectively, -0.2354 mm per millimeter and 0.1412 mm per diopter. CONCLUSION: Healthy pediatric subjects exhibit choroidal differences in refractive error and AL. In the study population, CT and volume show an increase with age after adjusting for AL.

PURPOSE: To compare toric intraocular lens (TIOL) implantation and femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) during phacoemulsification surgery in correction of moderate astigmatism. SETTING: Clinical research study. DESIGN: Prospective randomized comparison study. METHODS: Patients with age-related cataract and moderate preoperative corneal astigmatism of 1.25 to 3.0 diopters (D) were randomized into a TIOL implantation group and an FSAK group with symmetrical paired corneal arcuate keratotomies. The preoperative evaluation included corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), corneal topography, autokeratometry, and ocular biometry. Postoperative examinations were performed at 1 month and 3 months and included CDVA and uncorrected distance visual acuity, manifest refraction, autokeratometry, and corneal topography. Vector analysis of astigmatic changes was performed using the Alpins vector method. RESULTS: This study comprised 75 eyes from 67 patients. The mean residual refractive astigmatism at 3 months was -0.63 ± 0.55 D in the TIOL group and -0.90 ± 0.53 D in the FSAK group ( P = .037) and was ≤1.00 D in 32 eyes (84%) and 25 eyes (64%), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in difference vector, angle of error, magnitude error, or correction index in the 3-month follow-up. The index of success was 0.32 ± 0.33 D in the TIOL group and 0.48 ± 0.29 D in the FSAK group ( P = .029). CONCLUSIONS: TIOL implantation showed better results in correcting moderate astigmatism. Despite this, FSAK is shown to be a safe technique for reducing astigmatism.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose is to compare posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and its impact on vision between Clareon CNA0T0 (Alcon) and Tecnis ZCB00 intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Johnson&Johnson) 1, 6, and 12 months after implantation. METHODS: A prospective observational study was performed at the Nuestra Señora de Gracia Hospital (Zaragoza, Spain). Fifty eyes (50 patients) with Tecnis IOL (group 1) and 60 eyes (60 patients) with Clareon IOL (group 2) were enrolled. One, 6, and 12 months after age-related cataract surgery by five different surgeons, the following tests were performed: mesopic corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), CSV1000-E test, KR-1W wavefront analyzer, OQAS II, Catquest-9SF questionnaire and mydriatic slit-lamp pictures. PCO intensity was quantified and the area of opacification was measured using ImageJ (NIH). RESULTS: Mean age was 71.20 ± 6.79 years in group 1, and 71.73 ± 8.17 years in group 2 (p = 0.72); mean axial length was 23.46 ± 1.14 and 23.53 ± 0.91 mm, respectively (p = 0.72); mean IOL power was 21.69 ± 2.26 D and 21.28 ± 2.44 D, respectively (p = 0.37). One month after surgery there were differences in intensity of PCO (0.73 ± 0.60 and 1.05 ± 0.71, respectively, p = 0.02). Six months after surgery statistical differences were found in VA with 20% CS in mydriatic conditions (0.26 ± 0.21 logMAR (20/36) and 0.18 ± 0.17 logMAR (20/30), respectively, p = 0.04). Twelve months after surgery, no differences were detected between groups. As for the evolution of PCO within the Clareon group, high order aberrations (p < 0.05) and the Strehl ratio (p = 0.02) decreased. CONCLUSION: There are no differences in slit-lamp pictures or visual function between both IOLs during the first 12 months after implantation.
