Immediate Sequential Bilateral Implantable Collamer Lens Surgery Is Safe and Effective.

PURPOSE: To assess the clinical outcomes and safety profiles of patients who underwent immediate sequential bilateral phakic lens surgery. METHODS: This retrospective multicenter study included 254 consecutive patients (508 eyes) who underwent bilateral same-day Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) (STAAR Surgical) surgery. The authors focused on 1-year postoperative clinical outcomes and adverse events. RESULTS: In the initial cohort, 176 patients (352 eyes) met inclusion criteria. Of these, 335 eyes underwent myopic ICL placement, and 17 eyes received a hyperopic ICL. Notably, 87% of eyes achieved ±0.50 diopters (D) and 95% achieved ±1.00 D of the intended refraction. One year postoperatively, 78% of eyes demonstrated optimal vaulting (250 to 750 µm), with a significant 19% reduction in vaulting observed over the 12 months (P < .001). Only minor adverse events, including early cataract formation (1 case), secondary toric ICL rotation (3 cases), and ICL exchange due to inappropriate vaulting (6 cases), were noted. CONCLUSIONS: The findings corroborate the safety and efficacy of immediate sequential bilateral phakic lens surgery and indicate its potential as a treatment option. The low incidence of minor adverse events further reinforces its favorable safety profile. [J Refract Surg. 2024;40(5):e313-e320.].

Intraoperative Performance and Early Postoperative Outcomes Following Phacoemulsification With Three Fluidic Systems: A Randomized Trial.

PURPOSE: To compare intraoperative performance and early postoperative outcomes following phacoemulsification with two systems using active fluidics and one using gravity-based fluidics. METHODS: In this prospective randomized trial, 200 eyes were randomized to the traditional and Active Sentry groups (n = 80 eyes each) where the Centurion Vision System was used with traditional or Active Sentry (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) hand-pieces, respectively, or the Infinit group (n = 40 eyes) where the Infiniti Vision System (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) was used. Within the traditional and Active Sentry groups, there were two subgroups with low (30 mm Hg) or high (55 mm Hg) intraocular pressure (IOP) used. Outcome measures compared were: cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), percentage change in central corneal thickness (CCT) at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month, anterior chamber cells at 1 day and 1 week, rate of rise and fall of IOP following occlusion break, corneal endothelial cell density (ECD), and macular thickness 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS: CDE was significantly lower in group II compared to the traditional group (2.96 ± 1.4 vs 4.14 ± 2.2, P = .001). With 30 mm Hg IOP, the Active Sentry group had significantly less percentage change in CCT at 1 week postoperatively compared to the traditional handpiece group (0.01% vs 0.02%, P = .008). Incidence of anterior chamber cells less than grade 2 on day 1 was significantly higher in the Active Sentry group (82.9% vs 52%, P = .03). Percentage change in ECD was significantly lower in the Active Sentry group (-0.957 vs -0.98%, P = .005). Significantly faster rise of IOP to baseline following occlusion break was seen in the Active Sentry group. CONCLUSIONS: The use of Active Sentry handpiece was associated with lower CDE, less postoperative increase in CCT, fewer anterior chamber cells, and faster rise of IOP following occlusion break.

A comparative study of two phakic posterior chamber implantable lenses.

This study aimed to compare the postimplantation clinical outcomes of 2 types of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs): Visian™ implantable collamer lenses (ICL; EVO+ V5; Staar Surgical, Monrovia, CA) and an implantable phakic contact lens (IPCL) (IPCL V2.0, Care Group Sight Solution, India) to correct high myopia and myopic astigmatism. This retrospective study included patients who had undergone phakic IOL implantation performed by a single surgeon between March 2021 and March 2022. Preoperative assessments included slit-lamp examination, fundus examination, spherical equivalent, uncorrected distant visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA), specular microscope parameters, and optical quality analysis system parameters. Postoperative assessments after 1 year included slit-lamp examination to detect adverse effects and spherical equivalent, UDVA, CDVA, specular microscope, optical quality analysis system, and anterior-segment optical coherence tomography. Eighty eyes from 42 patients (47 eyes from 24 patients in the ICL group and 33 eyes from 18 patients in the IPCL group) were included. No statistically significant differences were observed between the 2 groups regarding preoperative parameters. At 1-year postoperatively, the mean UDVA in the ICL and IPCL groups was 0.019 ±â€…0.040 logMAR and 0.019 ±â€…0.041 logMAR, respectively. The mean CDVA was 0.001 ±â€…0.008 logMAR and 0.001 ±â€…0.007 logMAR in the ICL and IPCL groups, respectively, showing no statistically significant differences. The postoperative parameters did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. The visual acuity and refractive results of both groups were excellent, and both groups exhibited similar efficacy and safety profiles.

[Evaluation of the accuracy of modern intraocular lens calculation formulas when optical biometry is not possible]. / Otsenka tochnosti sovremennykh formul rascheta intraokulyarnykh linz pri nevozmozhnosti vypolneniya opticheskoi biometrii.

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the accuracy of modern intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas using axial length (AL) data obtained by ultrasound biometry (UBM) compared to the third-generation SRK/T calculator. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 230 patients (267 eyes) with severe lens opacities that prevented optical biometry, who underwent phacoemulsification (PE) with IOL implantation. IOL power calculation according to the SRK/T formula was based on AL and anterior chamber depth obtained by UBM (Tomey Biometer Al-100) and keratometry on the Topcon KR 8800 autorefractometer. To adapt AL for new generation calculators - Barrett Universal II (BUII), Hill RBF ver. 3.0 (RBF), Kane and Ladas Super Formula (LSF) - the retinal thickness (0.20 mm) was added to the axial length determined by UBM, and then the optical power of the artificial lens was calculated. The mean error and its modulus value were used as criteria for the accuracy of IOL calculation. RESULTS: A significant difference (p=0.008) in the mean IOL calculation error was found between the formulas. Pairwise analysis revealed differences between SRK/T (-0.32±0.58 D) and other formulas - BUII (-0.16±0.52 D; p=0.014), RBF (-0.17±0.51 D; p=0.024), Kane (-0.17±0.52 D; p=0.029), but not with the LSF calculator (-0.19±0.53 D; p=0.071). No significant differences between the formulas were found in terms of mean error modulus (p=0.238). New generation calculators showed a more frequent success in hitting target refraction (within ±1.00 D in more than 95% of cases) than the SRK/T formula (86%). CONCLUSION: The proposed method of adding 0.20 mm to the AL determined by UBM allows using this parameter in modern IOL calculation formulas and improving the refractive results of PE, especially in eyes with non-standard anterior segment structure.

[Outcomes of extended depth of focus intraocular lenses implantation]. / Rezul'tat implantatsii intraokulyarnykh linz s rasshirennoi glubinoi fokusa.

Extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) are the latest IOL designs. In recent years, several models of EDOF IOLs have become available in Russia, two of which (Tecnis Symfony and Acrysof IQ Vivity) are implanted in our clinic. Comparative studies devoted to the results of implantation of the new EDOF IOLs are rare in the available literature. PURPOSE: This article compares the outcomes of implantation of two EDOF IOLs in patients with presbyopia and/or cataract. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The prospective study included 60 patients (81 eyes) after implantation of EDOF IOL Tecnis Symfony (32 patients, 45 eyes; group 1) or EDOF IOL AcrySof IQ Vivity (28 patients, 36 eyes; group 2). The mean follow-up period was 3.9±1.3 months. RESULTS: All groups showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA), intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA), and distance visual acuity (UCDVA) at the maximum follow-up time compared to preoperative values. In group 1, the best corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA) increased from 0.61±0.10 to 0.82±0.16 at the maximum follow-up time, and in group 2 - from 0.58±0.08 to 0.67±0.12 (p>0.05). Both groups showed a significant increase in best corrected intermediate and distance visual acuity (BCIVA and BCDVA) at the maximum follow-up time. The increase in the indicator compared to the preoperative period was not significant in both groups (p>0.05). The frequency of side optical phenomena was low in both groups. No significant differences were found between the groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: This study presents a comparative analysis of the results of implantation of two different EDOF IOLs. Both lenses were comparable in most of the studied parameters, including providing good distance and intermediate vision, functional near vision, as well as a low frequency of side optical phenomena. In all cases the patients were satisfied with the results of the surgical intervention.

Lens subluxation combined with parry-romberg syndrome: case report.

BACKGROUND: Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare progressive degenerative disorder of unknown etiology. Here we report a rare case of PRS combined with lens subluxation in Eye and ENT hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai. To our knowledge, it is the first reported case of PRS combined with lens subluxation that has been managed surgically with phacoemulsification and CTR placement and IOL implantation in Shanghai. CASE PRESENTATION: A 60-year-old woman was referred for "right visual blur for 2 years" and had persistent right facial paralysis of unknown etiology since the age 12. She had right facial muscle atrophy and paralysis. Eye examination also showed the right eyelid pseudoptosis, enophthalmos, age-related cataract combined with lens subluxation existed in the right eye. The patient was diagnosed as age-related cataract and lens subluxation in the right eye and progressive hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome). We conducted a combined phacoemulsification, IOL and CTR implantation and pupilloplasty surgery for the patient under general anesthesia and the postoperative UCVA was 20/30 and remained for 1 year's follow up. CONCLUSIONS: Here we reported a rare case of PHA combined with lens subluxation in China. After appropriate eye surgery, the patient achieved satisfying vision result in the right eye.

Comparison of complications of intrascleral fixation according to the extent of vitrectomy.

BACKGROUND: Intraocular lens (IOL) fixation is performed after intraoperative anterior or total vitrectomy. This study aimed to compare the intraoperative and postoperative complications of these two techniques. METHODS: This retrospective study included 235 eyes that underwent intrascleral fixation surgery at our hospital between July 2014 and January 2021. The eyes were classified into the anterior vitrectomy group (A-vit group; 134 eyes) and the pars plana vitrectomy group (PPV group; 101 eyes). The age, preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity, observation period, preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure, and the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications were assessed. RESULTS: Intrascleral fixation was performed more frequently in the PPV group, and a significant difference was observed between the eyes with a history of vitrectomy and eyes with scleral buckles (p = 0.00041). In terms of the incidence of postoperative complications following intrascleral fixation, the incidence of low intraocular pressure postoperative was higher in the PPV group than that in the A-vit group, and a significant difference was observed between the two groups (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The visual outcome and complications following intrascleral fixation did not differ according to the extent of vitreous excision.

Visual Outcomes According to Age After Bilateral Implantation of Trifocal Intraocular Lenses.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of age on visual outcomes after the bilateral implantation of trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS: A total of 290 patients (580 eyes) who underwent bilateral implantation of a trifocal IOL were enrolled in this retrospective case-control study. Patients were divided into five age groups: 45 to 49, 50 to 54, 55 to 59, 60 to 64, and 65 years and older. Postoperative monocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA, respectively), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), binocular distance-corrected defocus curve, spectacle dependence for near and distance vision, and patient satisfaction scores were compared among the five groups. RESULTS: The 45 to 49 years group had significantly better mean UDVA (0.02 ± 0.05 logMAR) and UNVA (0.02 ± 0.04 logMAR) than the 65 years and older group (0.06 ± 0.09 and 0.09 ± 0.09 logMAR; P = .029 and P < .001; respectively). However, no significant differences were observed in the mean CDVA among the groups. Binocular visual performance of the 45 to 49 years group was better than that of the 65 years and older age group at defocuses of +1.00, +0.50, -1.00, and -3.00 D. No significant differences were observed in spectacle dependence for near and distance vision or in patient satisfaction scores among the five groups. CONCLUSIONS: Bilateral implantation of trifocal IOLs can provide excellent near and distance vision in both young and older patients. However, UDVA and UNVA revealed considerably worse results in the older group, although no significant difference was observed in CDVA and postoperative refractive errors by age.

Enhancing the Automated Detection of Implantable Collamer Lens Vault Using Generative Adversarial Networks and Synthetic Data on Optical Coherence Tomography.

PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy of incorporating Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and synthetic images in enhancing the performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for automated estimation of Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) vault using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). METHODS: This study was a retrospective evaluation using synthetic data and real patient images in a deep learning framework. Synthetic ICL AS-OCT scans were generated using GANs and a secondary image editing algorithm, creating approximately 100,000 synthetic images. These were used alongside real patient scans to train a CNN for estimating ICL vault distance. The model's performance was evaluated using statistical metrics such as mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2) for the estimation of ICL vault distance. RESULTS: The study analyzed 4,557 AS-OCT B-scans from 138 eyes of 103 patients for training. An independent, retrospectively collected dataset of 2,454 AS-OCT images from 88 eyes of 56 patients, used prospectively for evaluation, served as the test set. When trained solely on real images, the CNN achieved a MAPE of 15.31%, MAE of 44.68 µm, and RMSE of 63.3 µm. However, with the inclusion of GAN-generated and algorithmically edited synthetic images, the performance significantly improved, achieving a MAPE of 8.09%, MAE of 24.83 µm, and RMSE of 32.26 µm. The R2 value was +0.98, indicating a strong positive correlation between actual and predicted ICL vault distances (P < .01). No statistically significant difference was observed between measured and predicted vault values (P = .58). CONCLUSIONS: The integration of GAN-generated and edited synthetic images substantially enhanced ICL vault estimation, demonstrating the efficacy of GANs and synthetic data in enhancing OCT image analysis accuracy. This model not only shows potential for assisting postoperative ICL evaluations, but also for improving OCT automation when data paucity is an issue. [J Refract Surg. 2024;40(4):e199-e207.].

Differences Between Simulated Keratometry and Total Corneal Power in Eyes With Keratoconus and a Formula to Improve IOL Power Calculation Results.

PURPOSE: To compare simulated keratometry (SimK) and total corneal power (TCP) in keratoconic eyes, to determine whether the differences are systematic and predictable and to evaluate an adjusted TCP-based formula for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation. METHODS: In a consecutive series of keratoconic eyes, measurements of SimK, TCP, posterior keratometry, and anterior and posterior corneal asphericities (Q-values) were retrospectively collected. The difference between SimK and TCP was linearly correlated to the biometric parameters. In a separate sample of keratoconic eyes that had undergone cataract surgery, IOL power was calculated with the Barrett Universal II, Hoffer QST, Holladay 1, Kane, and SRK/T formulas using the SimK and an adjusted TCP power. The respective prediction errors were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 382 keratoconic eyes (271 patients) were enrolled. An increasing overestimation of SimK by TCP was detected from stage I to III, with a significant correlation between the SimK and TCP difference and SimK in the whole sample (P < .0001, r2 = 0.1322). Approximately 7% of cases presented an underestimation of SimK by TCP. IOL power calculation with the adjusted TCP improved outcomes, achieving a maximum of 80% of eyes with a prediction error within ±0.50 diopters with the Hoffer QST, Holladay 1, and Kane formulas. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, SimK overestimated TCP. Such a difference could not be predicted by any variable. The proposed TCP-adjustment formula (TCPadj = TCP + 0.56 diopters) in keratoconic eyes for IOL power calculation might be valuable for improving refractive outcomes.

Effectiveness of toric intraocular lens implantation for correcting irregular corneal astigmatism in cataract eyes.

A retrospective cohort study was conducted to observe the correction effect of Toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in cataract eyes with specific types of irregular corneal astigmatism. Thirty-four eyes with either the "asymmetric bow-tie" pattern (Type I) or the "angled bow-tie" pattern (Type II) were included. Corneal topography was assessed using Pentacam HR, and changes in preoperative corneal astigmatism, visual acuity, manifest refraction, and objective visual quality were measured and compared. The average uncorrected distance visual acuity improved significantly from 0.86 ± 0.40 logMAR to 0.22 ± 0.15 logMAR (P < 0.001). Preoperative corneal astigmatism of 2.05 ± 0.90 D was corrected to a postoperative residual astigmatism of 0.78 ± 0.57 D (P < 0.001), with 32% of eyes within 0.50 D. The residual astigmatism prediction errors in Type I and Type II cases were (0.97 ± 0.68 D) and (0.66 ± 0.37 D), respectively (P = 0.100). The mean spherical equivalent prediction error in Type II cases (0.07 ± 0.36 D) was significantly smaller than that in Type I cases (- 0.29 ± 0.52 D) (P = 0.030). This study concludes that Toric IOL implantation effectively corrects specific types of irregular corneal astigmatism in cataract surgery. Eyes with the "angled bow-tie" pattern show higher accuracy in refractive predictions compared to eyes with the "asymmetric bow-tie" pattern.

An analysis of the factors involved in IOL decentration after phacoemulsification using CASIA 2 anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the magnitude of IOL transversal shift (ITS) after phacoemulsification and to analyse the factors contributing to IOL decentration and ITS. METHODS: 94 consecutive patients who underwent cataract surgery and IOL implantation was enrolled. Each patient underwent anterior segment optical coherence tomography with CASIA 2 (Tomey, Nagoya, Japan) to assess crystalline lens decentration, thickness and diameter seven days preoperatively and at one and sixty days postoperatively. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis were performed to evaluate the determinants of ITS and final decentration. RESULTS: The preoperative crystalline lens diameter was associated with the ITS and with the IOL final decentration. A positive association between the final IOL decentration and the first post-surgical day decentration was found (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Greater crystalline lens diameter was associated with greater decentration and with greater ITS. Day-one IOL decentration seems to be the main determinant of final IOL decentration.

[Effects of different types of intraocular lens implantation on patient's visual quality and function after phacoemulsification].

Objective: To explore the effects of different types of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation on patient's visual quality and function after phacoemulsification. Methods: The clinical data of patients with monocular cataract who underwent phacoemulsification in the Department of Ophthalmology, People's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University between December 2021 and May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the types of IOL, the patients were divided into monofocal group, bifocal group and depth of focus extension group. Three months later, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA), best corrected intermediate visual acuity (BCIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA) and best corrected near visual acuity (BCNVA) were detected. Contrast sensitivity and total wavefront aberration were measured by visual function analyzer. Satisfaction with visual quality was evaluated by hospital-made satisfaction questionnaire. Results: A total of 92 patients were included, with 31 males and 61 females, and their age was (61.8±5.2) years. There were 43, 28 and 21 cases in monofocal group, bifocal group and depth of focus extension group, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found in clinical baseline data among the three groups. UCIVA, UCDVA, BCIVA and BCDVA in depth of focus extension group were 1.01±0.13, 0.92±0.18, 1.21±0.19 and 1.20±0.23, respectively, which were higher than those in monofocal group (0.62±0.12, 0.74±0.13, 1.02±0.17, 1.07±0.19, respectively) and bifocal group (0.67±0.15, 0.78±0.14, 1.01±0.16, 1.01±0.18, respectively), while absolute value of spherical equivalent [(-0.42±0.07) D] was lower than that in the other two groups [ (-0.49±0.05) D and (-0.45±0.08) D] (both P<0.05). UCNVA and BCNVA in bifocal group were 0.91±0.18 and 1.25±0.18, which were higher than those in depth of focus extension group (0.63±0.24 and 1.19±0.17) (both P<0.05). There were no significant differences in contrast sensitivity among the three groups under day vision or between monofocal group and bifocal group under night vision (all P>0.05), but the contrast sensitivity was higher in depth of focus extension group under night vision (3.0, 6.0, 12.0 c/d) than other two groups (all P<0.05). The score of ocular discomfort was the highest in bifocal group, followed by depth of focus extension group and monofocal group (both P<0.05). The score of visual interference in bifocal group was lower than that in monofocal group and depth of focus extension group (both P<0.05). The scores of subjective feeling in bifocal group and depth of focus extension group were higher than that in monofocal group (both P<0.05). The reading score was the highest in bifocal group, followed by depth of focus extension group and monofocal group (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in total low-order aberration among the three groups (P=0.472). The total aberration and higher-order aberration [(0.74±0.35) µm and (0.41±0.12) µm] were the highest in monofocal group, followed by bifocal group [(0.61±0.21) µm and (0.22±0.09) µm] and depth of focus extension group [(0.46±0.13) µm and (0.06±0.09) µm] (all P<0.05). Conclusions: IOL implantation with depth of focus extension can enhance visual range, night vision and contrast sensitivity, and thus effectively improve postoperative visual quality and function in cataract patients. The bifocal IOL can better improve the patient's UCNVA and BCNVA, resulting in high satisfaction with visual quality.

Visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after implantations of three types of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses that have undergone corneal refractive surgery.

This prospective, non-randomized, comparative study aimed to compare the visual outcomes and patient satisfaction after implantations of three presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs) after myopic refractive surgery. It was conducted from January 2020 to December 2021 in Shanghai Heping Eye Hospital. Patients were divided into three groups based on the type of IOL implanted. The visual acuity, refractive stability, high-order aberrations, objective visual quality, spectacle independence, and visual function index 14 questionnaire scores of the three groups were compared. This study included 78 eyes of 39 patients: 26 eyes with 839MP, 26 eyes with MF30, and 26 eyes with ZXR00. Uncorrected distance visual acuity improved significantly for all three groups. For a pupil diameter of 4.0 mm, the spherical aberrations of the three groups were 0.33 ± 0.16 µ, 0.50 ± 0.08 µ, and 0.39 ± 0.10 µ, respectively. The spectacle independence for distance vision was over 90% in each group; for near vision, it was only 25% for the ZXR00 group. All three types of presbyopia-correcting IOLs improved visual quality in post-LASIK or PRK patients. However, the high incidence of photic phenomena after presbyopia-correcting IOL implantation in patients who have undergone myopic LASIK should not be neglected.

Comparative efficacy and safety of all kinds of intraocular lenses in presbyopia-correcting cataract surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

PURPOSE: To assess the efficacy and safety of various intraocular lenses (IOLs), including standard monofocal, bifocal, trifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), and enhanced monofocal IOLs, post-cataract surgery through a network meta-analysis. METHODS: A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted to identify relevant studies from the past 5 years. Parameters such as binocular visual acuities, spectacle independence, contrast sensitivity (CS), and optical quality were used to evaluate efficacy and safety. Data from the selected studies were analyzed using Review Manager 5.4 and STATA 17.0 software. RESULTS: Twenty-eight Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) comprising 2465 subjects were included. Trifocal IOLs exhibited superior uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) compared to monofocal IOLs (MD: -0.35; 95% CI: -0.48, -0.22). Both trifocal (AcrySof IQ PanOptix IOLs group MD: -0.13; 95% CI: -0.21, -0.06) and EDOF IOLs (MD: -0.13; 95% CI: -0.17, -0.09) showed better uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) than monofocal IOLs. Trifocal IOLs ranked highest in spectacle independence at various distances (AT LISAtri 839MP group: SUCRA 97.5% for distance, 80.7% for intermediate; AcrySof IQ PanOptix group: SUCRA 83.0% for near). CONCLUSIONS: For cataract patients who want to treat presbyopia, trifocal IOLs demonstrated better visual acuity and spectacle independence at near distances. Different types of trifocal IOL characteristics differ. EDOF and enhanced monofocal IOLs have improved visual quality at intermediate distances.Therefore, It is very important to select the appropriate IOLs based on the lens characteristics and patient needs.

Determination of progressive endothelial cell loss after posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation.

Comments about endothelial cell loss after posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens are provided, with a particular emphasis on the importance of determining progressive postoperative cell density reduction, excluding that related to surgical trauma.
