Refractive Changes Still Occur After Foldable Iris-Fixated pIOL Implantation
Patients implanted with foldable iris-fixated phakic intraocular lenses may experience annual changes in refractive error, visual acuity, and axial length, making the devices a long-term, but not permanent solution.
Shape-Changing, Presbyopia-Correcting IOL Avoids Contrast Sensitivity Loss
The device is not associated with increased rates of dysphotopsias, according to the report.
Foldable Anterior Chamber Phakic IOL Deemed Stable in 10-Year Study
Research shows the devices’ effectiveness in patients with high myopia, astigmatism.
Toric IOLs Correct Astigmatism Similar to Spherical Lenses Plus PRK
Study suggests sharp refractive control in 2-step phacoemulsification plus PRK, but similar outcomes and fewer risks with 1-step toric IOL implantation.
Patients Report High Satisfaction With Trifocals, EDOF IOLs
Investigators say the EDOF lens may be preferable for optimal uncorrected near visual acuity.
Phakic IOLs Maintain Stability, Predictability After 15 Years
Foldable phakic intraocular lens produced refractive stability at 15 years, but study advises at least 3 mm anterior chamber depth to implant pIOL.
No Significant Increase in Trabeculectomy Failure Following Clear-Cornea Phaco
However, researchers note “clinically relevant differences” in glaucoma procedure success rates for patients with a history of the refractive procedure.
Blue Light-Filtering IOLs Do Not Interfere With Sleep
Concerns about circadian rhythm interruptions due to long-term blue light filtration are not borne out in an investigation.
Multifocal IOLs Do Not Preclude Pars Plana Vitrectomy
Patients with epiretinal membranes still saw improvements in their vision at various distances after surgery, even if they had prior trifocal implants.
Large Study Supports Refractive Procedure, Implant for Presbyopia
Bilateral refractive lens exchange with trifocal intraocular lens appears to be a safe and effective treatment for presbyopia.
Bilateral EDOF Lenses Provide Good Performance at Various Distances
The amount of optical phenomena among patients was low, according to the report.
Ocular Biometry May Shift After ICL Implants
A study shows a statistically significant increase of 0.1 mm in axial length after posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation.
Eye Tilt Behind Most Incomplete Capsulotomies
The femtosecond laser-assisted surgical complication was also associated with air bubbles or ocular secretions at the interface and white cataracts, a report shows.
Trial: Toric IOL With Anchor-Wing Haptics is Effective and Stable
Toric IOL provides beneficial visual outcomes, rotational stability, and patient satisfaction in a 12-month trial.
Nd:YAG Laser Capsulotomy Does Not Alter IOL’s Axial Position
Researchers utilize advanced imaging to evaluate IOL movement before and after a laser treatment.
ICL Implants an Option for Residual Myopia Following Refractive Surgery
The lenses are a safe choice to restore lost visual acuity originally achieved by PRK or LASIK.
Fewer Nd:YAG Capsulotomies Necessary for Patients With Entirely Hydrophobic IOLs
Lenses with only hydrophobic surface materials are not as effective in preventing posterior capsule opacification, a study shows.
Phacoemulsification More Efficient With Larger Diameter Tips
According to a study, 19 G tips performed better than 20 and 21 G tips.
Extended Depth-of-Focus IOLs Produce Milder Halos Than Other Lenses
Patients reported the EDOFs are better for night driving than panfocals or trifocals.
