To determine the contribution of posterior corneal astigmatism to total and error in estimating from anterior measurements only using a dual-Scheimpflug analyzer.Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.Case series.Total was calculated ray tracing, simulated keratometry, astigmatism, changes with age were analyzed. Vector analysis used assess produced by only.The study analyzed 715 corneas 435 consecutive patients. The mean magnitude -0.30 diopter (D). steep...
To evaluate the impact of posterior corneal astigmatism on outcomes with toric intraocular lenses (IOLs).Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.Case series.Corneal was measured using 5 devices before and 3 weeks after cataract surgery. Toric IOL alignment recorded at surgery slitlamp postoperatively. The actual calculated based refractive postoperatively effective power Holladay 2 formula. prediction error as difference between by each device astigmatism. Vector...
To evaluate the accuracy of refractive prediction 4 intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in eyes with axial length (AL) greater than 25.0 mm and to propose a method optimizing AL improve accuracy.Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA, Department Ophthalmology, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.Case series.Refractive errors Holladay 1, Haigis, SRK/T, Hoffer Q were evaluated consecutive cases. Eyes randomized group used develop by...
(1). To investigate the distribution of anterior corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs, 3rd to 6th orders) in population; (2). evaluate symmetry between right and left eyes individuals; (3). study variations with aging.Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.Using CTView program (Sarver Associates, Inc.), HOAs were computed from central 6.0 mm zone topographic maps (Humphrey Atlas, Carl Zeiss, Inc.) 228 134 subjects (mean age 50 years +/- 17 (SD); range 20 79...
Calculating the surgically induced refractive change following ocular surgery is important for evaluating results of keratorefractive procedures, smaller incisions and various wound closures cataract surgery, effect suturing techniques suture removal corneal transplant surgery. We present a ten-step method calculating spherical- cylindrical-induced in manner suitable programmable calculator or personal computer. Several applications are given including (1) adding overrefraction to spectacle...
Purpose: To explore the distribution of ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs, 3rd to 6th orders) in population, evaluate symmetry between right and left eyes each subject using a Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor, study differences aberration as function age. Setting: Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Methods: Ocular HOAs were examined across 6.0 mm pupil 532 306 subjects (mean age 41 years ± 10 [SD] [range 20 71 years]; mean WaveScan spherical equivalent...
We performed phacoemulsification or planned extracapsular cataract extraction on posterior polar cataracts in 31 eyes of 22 patients and experienced eight cases capsular rupture (26%). Capsular occurred during removal the opacity cleaning capsule after had been removed. believe that excessive adherence to unusual thinness predisposed these rupture.
To evaluate and compare the accuracy of formulas methods for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power eyes with an axial length (AL) greater than 26.0 mm.Ein-Tal Eye Center, Tel-Aviv, Israel.Retrospective case series.The postoperative refraction results in myopic AL over mm were compared predicted refractions calculated using standard (Holladay 1, SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Haigis) optical IOL constants, User Group Laser Interference Biometry AL-adjustment method new-generation (Barrett Universal II,...
