Abstract
INTRODUCTION We performed a prospective, single-center, cohort study in order to evaluate the effects of vitrectomy with epiretinal membrane (ERM) peel on optical quality in patients with primary ERM. METHODS Thirty patients treated for primary ERM by vitrectomy with ERM peel were included from our tertiary university hospital ophthalmology department. The main study outcome was variation in optical quality parameters measured using the HD Analyzer™ between pre-operative and two-month post-operative evaluations in operated eyes. Optical quality parameters comprised point spread function (PSF) width at 10% and 50%, objective scatter index (OSI), and modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff. Contralateral non-operated eyes were used as an internal control for measurement reproducibility. RESULTS Mean PSF width at 10% (42.22 vs 27.37 arc/min; p = 0.0002) and mean OSI (3.32 vs 2.32; p = 0.0003) were significantly improved between pre- versus post-operative evaluations. Mean PSF width at 50% and mean MTF cutoff showed no changes. Subgroup analysis according to crystalline lens status gave similar results demonstrating that improvements in mean PSF width at 10% and OSI were not lens-related. Non-operated eyes showed no changes in any of the parameters analyzed. CONCLUSION Reduced light scattering measured by OSI indicates improved optical quality following vitrectomy with ERM peel among patients with primary ERM. OSI measurement could thus be a new parameter of interest in the pre-operative assessment of primary ERM and other pre-vitrectomy assessments.

Abstract
Background The aim of our case control study was to evaluate the impact of glistening and tear film quality on visual performance after implantation of two different hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs). Materials and methods In our retrospective study we included cataract patients operated between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2012, with follow-up controls between January 2016 and December 2019. Z-Flex 860FAB (Medicontur) and AcrySof IQ SN60WF (Alcon) monofocal IOLs were implanted during standard phacoemulsification. Best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) and contrast sensitivity were monitored over the post-operative period of up to 6 years. Glistening was evaluated semi-quantitatively with slit-lamp biomicroscopy and quantitatively using Pentacam HR (Oculus). Using HD Analyzer OQAS (Visiometrics), total intraocular light diffusion was interpreted with the objective scatter index (OSI) and tear film quality was evaluated with the tear film related objective scatter index (TF-OSI). Results 26 eyes implanted with the Z-Flex and 25 eyes with the AcrySof IQ IOLs were included in the analysis. The slit-lamp evaluation of patients with the Z-Flex IOL (0.57 ± 0.60) revealed significantly less glistening (p<0.0001), compared to the AcrySof IQ group (1.82 ± 0.90), and these observations were confirmed by the Pentacam HR analyses, as well (Z-Flex group: 35.1 ± 1.63, Acrysof IQ: 39.6 ± 3.69, p<0.0001). TF-OSI differed between the two sets of patients remarkably (1.53 ± 1.03 vs. 2.51 ± 1.76 for AcrySof IQ and Z-Flex groups, respectively, p = 0.043). Both groups of patients provided similar results of BCDVA and contrast sensitivity. Conclusion Glistening and tear film quality both contribute to visual performance outcomes after cataract surgery. In our study the advantage of less glistening in the Z-Flex IOL might have been masked by the adverse effects of the more pronounced tear film insufficiency of these patients, compared to the AcrySof IQ group. Among other factors, tear film quality should also be taken into consideration when comparing the impact of glistening on visual quality of patients implanted with different IOLs.

Abstract
The Optical Quality Analysis System (OQAS, Visiometrics) provides objective measurements of image formed onto retina, by combining quantification of ocular media transparency and of optical aberrations. In order to evaluate its contribution in the assessment of age-related cataract, we conducted a monocentric clinical study to determine the relationships between clinical grading of lens opacity, OQAS parameters, and parameters required for cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with ultrasound (called “phacodynamics”). Clinical parameters were: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, expressed as Log of minimal angle resolution (logMAR)) and the lens opacity classification system III (LOCS III) as a gold standard determined by two independent observers who graded total cataract and nuclear, cortical and posterior sub capsular components. The OQAS provided an objective scatter index (OSI), a modulation transfer function (MTF, expressed in cycle per degree (cpd)) and a Strehl ratio (SR) used as an aberration marker. Patients were operated on by the same surgeon using a phacoemulsification machine that provided the cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) and total ultrasound time (US time) necessary to extract the lens. Patients with poor compliance, corneal or retinal diseases impairing OSI, or who required surgical settings variation, were excluded. Twenty-one eyes of 21 patients aged 76±8 years were analyzed. They were 11 pure nuclear, 3 pure cortical, and 7 mixed cataracts. Mean LOCS III and OSI were respectively: 4.86 ±2.03 and 6.12 ±3.07 (mean±SD). Medians (10°-90° percentiles) were: for BCVA 0.30 (0.10–0.70) logMAR, for MTF cutoff 9.31 (1.54–30.57) cpd, for SR 0.071 (0.042–0.146), for CDE 8.04 (5.74–23.29) and for US time 58 (39–116) seconds. LOCS III was significantly correlated (spearman r, rs) with BCVA (rs = 0.561, p = 0.008), CDE (rs = 0.457, p = 0.038) and US time (rs = 0.647, p = 0.002). The three OQAS parameters significantly correlated (all rs ≥ 0.526, p<0.05) with BCVA, and LOCS III grading, but the strongest correlations were found with OSI for cortical components and with MTF for nuclear components: only OSI may be used objectively to assess the effect of cortical components on optical quality, and MTF cutoff—integrating scattering and aberrations—seems the best objective parameter for clinical assessment of nuclear cataracts. The three OQAS parameters were also significantly correlated (rs) with CDE, and with US time only for pure nuclear cataracts: OSI had the strongest correlations with phacodynamics (rs = 0.693, p = 0.022 with CDE and rs = 0.703, p = 0.019 US time). OSI increased with cortical components not requiring higher CDE. When measured in optimal conditions (good compliance, no retinal or ocular surface or tear film diseases), the three OQAS parameters are complementary for objective grading of cataract. In the future, they may help to optimize surgical parameters, especially energy distribution, in femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop and evaluate a cataract quantification method using a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) device (IOLMaster 700). SETTING Hanusch Hospital, Vienna, Austria. DESIGN Prospective multicenter case series. METHODS This study included patients with cataract in at least 1 eye. Two independent examiners performed Lens Opacities Classification System II (LOCS II) grading at the slitlamp independently. Corrected distance visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and SS-OCT measurements were also performed. In addition, the phacoemulsification energy and time were recorded. To develop an objective SS-OCT-based cataract quantification system, all SS-OCT scans were segmented and the local pixel intensity unit of the lens was analyzed using Matlab's grayscale counting. The pixel intensity unit of the lens nucleus (OCT-based cataract quantification system score) was equated to the clinician's subjective nuclear opalescence grading. RESULTS The study evaluated 186 eyes (113 patients). The correlation between the independent examiners' LOCS grading was good (0.91) (P < .01). The correlation between the LOCS grading and OCT-based cataract quantification system score was 0.86 for examiner 1 and 0.76 for examiner 2 (both P < .01). In 24 patients, phacoemulsification time, power, and energy; visual acuity; and contrast sensitivity were available and included in the study. The OCT-based cataract quantification system scores correlated significantly with phacoemulsification time (0.71) and energy (0.64) (both P < .01). CONCLUSIONS Cataract density could be evaluated using an SS-OCT device, and the OCT-based cataract quantification system values correlated with the conventional LOCS II classification. Swept-source OCT measurements allowed quantification and documentation cataract density.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether correlations exist between objective and subjective measures of vision quality as a consequence of cataract and whether this may qualify the Objective Scatter Index as a supplementary means of cataract assessment. METHODS A prospective multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted in 10 centers across France in patients undergoing cataract extraction surgery (lens opacity evaluated with the Lens Opacities Classification System III). A quality of life assessment using the Visual Function Index-14 (VF-14) (14 questions scored from 0 to 4) and measurement of visual acuity and evaluation of the Objective Scatter Index (HD Analyzer, Visiometrics SL, Terrassa, Spain) to assess the alteration of light scatter were used as measures in the study. RESULTS The study included 1,768 eyes of 1,768 patients (mean age: 72.5 years; range: 28 to 93 years). The average OSI score was 4.97 ± 3.13 (range: 0.4 to 20.5). There was good correlation between visual acuity and OSI (r = -0.47, P < .001) and between OSI and VF-14 (r = -0.11, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The results presented in this study confirm that the Objective Scatter Index has sufficient correlations with visual acuity and VF-14 to supplement existing cataract diagnosis in a large population encompassing a broad spectrum of cataract presentations.

Abstract
AIM To study the potential reasons of increased straylight in pseudophakic eyes. METHODS Cross-sectional study. Seventy patients diagnosed as bilateral age-related cataract and implanted with Tecnis ZA9003, Sensar AR40e, SA60AT, XLSTABI ZO or Akeros AO intraocular lens (IOL) were enrolled in this research. Straylight was measured by a C-Quant straylight meter three to four weeks postoperatively. Five different modalities of IOL, including spherical/aspherical optics and hydrophobic/hydrophilic material were tested in this study. Normal as well as dilated pupils were used. The main outcome variable for straylight measurement was the logarithmic straylight parameter, log(s). RESULTS The straylight parameter increased significantly after pupil dilation (P<0.05). Straylight of aspherical IOL was significantly higher after pupil dilation (P<0.05) compared to spherical IOL. In normal pupil, straylight of hydrophobic IOL was significant higher when compared with hydrophilic IOL (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Straylight and visual acuity stand for the different aspects of visual function. Several factors including pupil diameter, optic material, aspherical design of IOL influence intraocular light scattering in pseudophakic eyes. Further investigation was needed to study the impact of optic material and optic surface design on pseudophakic straylight.
