The main outcome measures uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), near (UNVA), corrected acuity, manifest refraction, complications. One-month, 3-month, 6-month analyzed.The study comprised 9366 eyes 4683 patients. mean...

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To compare the Visian Toric Implantable Collamer Lens (TICL), a toric phakic intraocular lens (IOL), and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in correction of moderate to high myopic astigmatism. METHODS: This prospective, randomized study consisted 43 eyes implanted with TICL (20 bilateral cases) 45 receiving PRK mitomycin C (22 myopia (-6.00 -20.00 diopters [D] sphere) measured at spectacle plane 1.00 4.00 D All patient treatment follow-up occurred Naval Medical Center San...

To evaluate the effect of residual astigmatism on postoperative visual acuity and satisfaction after intraocular lens (IOL) surgery.Private practice, United Kingdom.Retrospective case series.Postoperative data patients who had previously undergone refractive exchange or cataract surgery were used in a multivariate regression model to assess 3 months monocular uncorrected distance (UDVA) patient satisfaction. The analysis was based refraction dominant eye each patient. Odds ratios calculated...

Purpose: To evaluate patient-reported outcomes after implantation of a non-constant aberration-correcting monofocal IOL and explore factors affecting postoperative satisfaction with vision. Methods: This retrospective study comprised patients who underwent cataract surgery bilateral CT LUCIA 621P (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany). Factors vision were evaluated, including patient demographics, clinical non-clinical variables (visual acuities, adverse events, ocular comorbidities, general...

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of 2 types bandage contact lenses (BCLs) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Setting: Navy Refractive Surgery Center, Naval Medical Center San Diego, California, USA. Methods: In this prospective study, 100 patients received PRK in both eyes. Each patient a BCL composed etafilcon A (Acuvue [ACV], Vistakon Inc.) (14.0 diameter, 8.4/8.8 base curve) 1 eye and lotrafilcon (Focus Night & Day [N&D], Ciba Vision) (13.8 8.4/8.6 fellow eye. The was masked to lens...

Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes of LASIK procedures in which flaps were created with a femtosecond laser (IntraLase FS 60Hz, Abbott Medical Optics [AMO]) to mechanical microkeratome (Moria Evo3 One Use-Plus, Moria SA). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 2000 eyes treated 2008 for low myopia and astigmatism (sphere <−3.00 diopters [D]; cylinder ⩽−0.75 D). The first 1000 consecutive that had compared microkeratome. All received wavefront-guided treatments VISX S4 IR...

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of femtosecond-assisted wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) as well higher-order aberrometric changes a population active-duty United States Naval aviators.Navy Refractive Surgery Centers, San Diego, California, Portsmouth, Virginia, USA.Prospective noncomparative 2-site study.In this study LASIK, 3 groups were differentiated according to refractive status: myopia, mixed astigmatism, hyperopia. Uncorrected (UDVA) corrected (CDVA) distance...

Purpose To describe the incidence and risk factors associated with microbial keratitis in a large population of laser vision correction (LVC) patients. Setting Optical Express centers, Glasgow, United Kingdom. Design Retrospective case series. Methods Records were searched to identify all cases presumed after LVC between January 1, 2008, April 2015. Consecutive patients having primary or enhancement during that time served as controls. Data on preoperative age, sex, refraction, procedure,...

To measure real time intraocular pressure (IOP) during keratomileusis and to determine variability of corneal flap thickness by using different suction ring settings.Eight human cadaver eyes, two groups four each, were used. The the UniversalKeratome was applied each eye, same as for a standard automated lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) or laser in situ (LASIK) procedure, create flap. on eye raised one levels, eyes 488 remaining 600 mm Hg. IOP continuously recorded manometer, from application...

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of mitomycin-C (MMC) 0.01% (0.1 mg/mL) in preventing haze formation after wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for higher myopia at 3 exposures.United States Navy Refractive Surgery Center, San Diego, California, USA.Double-masked randomized prospective trial.Sixty-, 30-, 15-second exposures MMC were compared PRK myopia. One eye received (surgical sponge) other a placebo. All eyes 4-month tapering postoperative topical steroid regimen....

To provide an initial retrospective evaluation of early postoperative outcomes after wavefront-guided myopic LASIK using a new-generation Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor.A noncomparative, study 243 eyes 126 patients that underwent primary LASIK, data obtained with new aberrometer (iDesign Advanced WaveScan aberrometer; Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Santa Ana, CA). Visual acuity, refraction, and patient satisfaction were evaluated 1 month surgery.The manifest spherical equivalent was reduced...
