Abstract
PURPOSE Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the major complication of visual impairment after cataract surgery. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the development of many diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore the role and molecular mechanism of circ_0000099 in PCO. METHODS SRA01/04 cells were treated with TGF-β2 to establish a PCO cell model. The expression of circ_0000099, miR-223-3p, and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA was determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Western blot assay was used to analyze the protein expression. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were analyzed by (4-5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), 5-ethynyl-2 '-Deoxyuridine (EdU), transwell, and wound healing tests. The circ_0000099/miR-223-3p/CTGF relationship was verified by dual luciferase reporter gene and RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. RESULTS TGF-β2 treatment promoted SRA01/04 cell proliferation invasion, migration, and EMT. Circ_0000099 expression was increased in POC patients and TGF-β2-treated SRA01/04 cells.Knockdown of circ_0000099 suppressed TGF-β2-induced proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT in SRA01/04 cells. miR-223-3p was identified as the target of circ_0000099, and miR-223-3p inhibitor might partly abolish the repression of circ_0000099 silencing on TGF-β2-triggered SRA01/04 cell disorders. MiR-223-3p directly targeted CTGF. Knockdown of CTGF suppressed TGF-β2-induced SRA01/04 cell injury. Circ_0000099 can regulate CTGF expression by targeting miR-223-3p. CONCLUSIONS Circ_0000099 silencing might relieve TGF-2-induced SRA01/04 cell injury by the miR-223-3p/CTGF axis, providing new avenues for the prevention and treatment of PCO.

Campos N. Clinical Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction of an Enhanced Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens Targeted for Mini-Monovision. Clin Ophthalmol 2024; 18:1607-1613. [PMID: 38855014 PMCID: PMC11162236 DOI: 10.2147/opth.s459868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To assess the clinical outcomes, the rate of spectacle independence, and patient satisfaction of an enhanced depth of focus (EDOF) LuxSmart™ IOL targeted for mini-monovision in patients who had undergone bilateral cataract surgery. Methods Twenty patients underwent bilateral LuxSmart IOL implantation with the non-dominant eye targeted for -0.50 diopters. Best-corrected distance (CDVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) at 66 cm, uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) at 40 cm, and defocus curve were assessed. Patient-reported visual function was inquired by Catquest-9SF, and the rate of spectacle independence in all daily-life activities was calculated. The presence of photic phenomena was evaluated. A p-value lower than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The mean IOL power was +21.50 ± 4D (16.5-26D), and all were non-toric. Thirty-seven (92.5%) eyes were within ±0.5D of predicted target. The postoperative MRSE was 0.06 ± 0.42D and -0.45 ± 0.22D in dominant and non-dominant eyes. Every patient achieved distance binocular vision better than 0.1 logMAR. The non-dominant eyes showed lower CDVA (p<0.001). The UIVA was higher in non-dominant eyes (p<0.001). Binocular uncorrected near visual acuity was 0.12 ± 0.1, and uncorrected near visual acuity was higher in non-dominant eyes (p<0.001). LuxSmart IOL provided a sustained visual acuity of 0.3 logMAR or better between +1.00D and -2.50D. A total of 25% of patients reported frequent halos and glare. Despite achieving higher degrees of satisfaction, seven patients (35%) denied total spectacle independence in their daily-life activities, particularly for activities requiring continuous near vision. Conclusion This study shows that LuxSmart EDOF IOL in mini-monovision strategy performs well for distance and intermediate vision. Although visual acuity for near also achieved very good results, the considerable rate of spectacle dependence, in particular for near, and the rate of photic phenomena do not support this IOL to be safely implanted in patients desiring spectacle independence at time of cataract surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the accuracy of formulas for calculating intraocular lens power in eyes after myopic laser refractive surgery or radial keratotomy. DESIGN Bayesian network meta-analysis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Data Base of Systematic Reviews, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched for retrospective and prospective clinical studies published from January 1, 2012, to August 24, 2022. The outcome measurement was the percentage of eyes with a predicted error within the target refractive range (±0.50 diopter [D] or ±1.00 D). RESULTS Our meta-analysis includes 24 studies of 1172 eyes after myopic refractive surgery that use 12 formulas for intraocular lens power calculation. (1) A network meta-analysis showed that Barrett true-K no history, the optical coherence tomography (OCT) formula, and the Masket formula had a significantly higher percent of eyes within ±0.50 D of the goal than the Haigis-L formula, whereas the Wang-Koch-Maloney formula showed the poor predictability. Using an error criterion of within ±1.00 D, the same 3 formulas performed slightly better than the Haigis-L formula. Based on performance using both prediction error criteria, the Barrett true-K no history formula, OCT formula, and Masket formula showed the highest probability of ranking as the top 3 among the 12 methods. (2) A direct meta-analysis with a subset of 4 studies and 5 formulas indicated that formulas did not differ in percent success for either the ±0.5 D or ±1.0 D error range in eyes that had undergone radial keratotomy. CONCLUSIONS The OCT, Masket, and Barrett true-K no history formulas are more accurate for eyes with previous myopic laser refractive surgery, whereas no significant difference was found among the formulas for eyes that had undergone radial keratotomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical outcomes of new hydrophobic trifocal intraocular lens with hydroxyethyl methacrylate in the Korean population. METHODS This prospective, multicenter, and observational study evaluated the clinical outcomes of 80 eyes of 40 patients with age-related cataract underwent cataract surgery using CNWT (Clareon PanOptix). Assessment included monocular and binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (at 60cm), near visual acuity (at 40 and 33 cm), uncorrected defocus curves, questionnaires evaluating photic phenomena, spectacle independence, and spectacle free satisfaction. RESULTS At postoperative 3 months, mean uncorrected binocular visual acuities were 0.04, 0.04, 0.03 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) at far, intermediate, and near distances, respectively. All patients achieved uncorrected binocular visual acuity of 0.2 logMAR or better. Monocular and binocular defocus curve indicated a mean visual acuity of 0.2 logMAR or better at the defocus range of +1.0 to - 3.0 diopters (100 to 33 cm) and +1.0 to - 3.5 diopters (100 to 28 cm). High spectacle independence was observed at all distances, with 37.5% patients reporting photic phenomena. CONCLUSIONS The Clareon PanOptix intraocular lens has shown positive clinical outcomes, providing a viable option for cataract surgery. These lenses effectively address patients' visual needs, especially in intermediate and near distance tasks, reducing dependence on glasses.

Abstract
PURPOSE To discuss factors influencing corneal aberrations that might influence the optical quality after intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS PubMed and Scopus were the main resources used to search the medical literature. An extensive search was performed to identify relevant articles concerning factors influencing the level of corneal aberrations as of August 27, 2023. The following keywords were used in various combinations: corneal, aberrations, defocus, astigmatism, spherical aberration, coma, trefoil, quadrafoil, intraocular lens, and IOL. RESULTS Conclusive evidence is lacking regarding the correlation between age and changes in corneal aberrations. Patients with astigmatism have greater corneal higher-order aberrations than those with minimal astigmatism, particularly concerning trefoil and coma. Increased levels of corneal higher-order aberrations are noted following contact lens wear, in patients with dry eye disease, and with pterygium. Increased higher-order aberrations have been reported following corneal refractive surgery and for 3 months following trabeculectomy; regarding intraocular lens surgery, the results remain controversial. CONCLUSIONS Several factors influence the level of corneal higher-order aberrations. Multifocal and extended depth-of-focus IOLs can share similarities in their optical properties, and the main difference arises in their design and performance with respect to spherical aberration. Preoperative evaluation is critical for proper IOL choice, particularly in corneas with risk of high levels of aberrations. [J Refract Surg. 2024;40(6):e420-e434.].

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the tolerance to refractive errors of a new purely refractive extended depth of focus (EDF) intraocular lens (IOL) using preclinical and clinical metrics. METHODS Preclinical evaluation included computer simulations of visual acuity (sVA) and dysphotopsia profile of different IOL designs (refractive EDF, diffractive EDF, multifocal, standard, and enhanced monofocals) using an appropriate eye model with and without ±0.50 D defocus and/or +0.75 D of astigmatism. Patients bilaterally implanted with a refractive EDF (Model ZEN00V) or an enhanced monofocal (Model ICB00) IOL from a prospective, randomized study were included. At the 6-month postoperative visit, uncorrected and corrected distance vision (UDVA and CDVA), visual symptoms, satisfaction and dependency on glasses were evaluated in a subgroup of patients with absolute residual refractive error of >0.25 D in one or both eyes. RESULTS In the presence of defocus and astigmatism, sVA was comparable for all except the multifocal IOL design. The refractive EDF was more tolerant to myopic outcomes and maintained a monofocal-like dysphotopsia profile with defocus. Binocular logMAR UDVA was -0.03 ± 0.08 for ZEN00V and -0.02 ± 0.11 for ICB00. 100% ZEN00V and 97% ICB00 patients did not need glasses and were satisfied with their distance vision. Monocular CDVA, contrast sensitivity and visual symptoms were also similar between both groups. CONCLUSIONS The clinical outcomes of the refractive EDF IOL demonstrated high quality distance vision and dysphotopsia comparable to a monofocal IOL, even in the presence of refractive error, thus matching the design expectations of the EDF IOL.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the outcomes of the Tecnis Eyhance ICB00 IOL, designed to enhance intermediate vision, to a conventional Tecnis Monofocal ZCB00 IOL. Methods This retrospective analysis compared two cohorts of patients undergoing lens replacement surgery with bilateral implantation of the Tecnis ICB00 or the Tecnis ZCB00 IOL (383 patients in each group). Monocular and binocular uncorrected distance (UDVA), intermediate (UIVA; 66cm), and near (UNVA; 40cm) visual acuities, refractive predictability, and patient-reported outcomes were compared. A sub-analysis of patients with the Eyhance IOL was performed to compare patients who achieved bilateral emmetropia to those with mini-monovision. One-month postoperative outcomes were analyzed. Results Both groups had comparable UDVA outcomes. On average, both monocular and binocular UIVAs were approximately one Snellen line better in patients implanted with Eyhance IOL (monocular UIVA: ICB00 0.23 ± 0.18 logMAR, ZCB00 0.33 ± 0.19 logMAR; binocular UIVA: ICB00 0.18 ± 0.18 logMAR, ZCB00 0.26 ± 0.20 logMAR, p < 0.01). Likewise, the mean UNVA was also one Snellen line better with the ICB00 model (monocular UNVA: ICB00 0.51 ± 0.20 logMAR, ZCB00 0.61 ± 0.18 logMAR; binocular UNVA: ICB00 0.42 ± 0.19 logMAR, ZCB00 0.51 ± 0.22 logMAR, p < 0.01). There was no difference between the two groups in overall satisfaction or visual phenomena. A subgroup of patients who achieved mini-monovision with Eyhance IOL had, on average, one Snellen line better UIVA and UNVA compared to patients with bilateral emmetropia. Conclusion Patients receiving the enhanced monofocal IOL had better intermediate and near vision compared to those receiving the conventional monofocal IOL, with similar levels of patient-reported photic phenomena in both groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the quality of images of gratings placed in a model eye viewed through an extended depth of focus (EDoF) intraocular lens (IOL) to that of diffractive bifocal IOL or monofocal IOL. DESIGN Experimental laboratory investigation. METHODS Nondiffractive wavefront shaping EDoF (CNAET0, Alcon Laboratories), echelette-designed EDoF (ZXR00V, Johnson & Johnson Vision), diffractive bifocal IOL with low power addition (SV25T, Alcon Laboratories), or monofocal IOL (CNA0T0, Alcon Laboratories) was placed in a fluid-filled model eye. A United States Air Force Resolution Grating Target was glued to the posterior surface of the model eye and viewed through a flat or a wide-angle contact lens. The contrast of the gratings viewed through the EDoF or multifocal IOLs was compared to that through the monofocal IOL. A wavefront analyzer was used to measure the spherical power of the central 4.5 mm optics of the EDoF, multifocal, and monofocal IOLs. The distribution of the dioptric power and the dioptric power map were compared. RESULTS The gratings observed through the flat contact lens with CNAET0, ZXR00V, or SV25T were slightly blurred when viewed through the multifocal optics. The blurred area was in the circumferential area of CNAET0, the central area of SV25T, and the peripheral area of ZXR00V. The mean contrast was 0.258 ± 0.020 for CNAET0, 0.227 ± 0.025 for ZXR00V, and 0.221 ± 0.020 for SV25T for the 16.0 cyc/mm grating. The contrast was significantly lower for ZXR00V (P = .004) and SV25T (P = .004) than 0.303 ± 0.015 for CNA0T0 but the differences were not significant for CNAET0. For the wide-angle contact lens, the contrast for CNAET0 was 0.182 ± 0.009, for ZXR00V was 0.162 ± 0.011, and for SV25T was 0.163 ± 0.007 for the 16.0 cyc/mm grating, and none was significantly different from 0.188 ± 0.012 for CNA0T0. The dioptric variations of CNAET0 indicated a ring-shaped area of higher power corresponding to the circumferential blurred zone observed through the flat contact lens. CONCLUSIONS The wavefront shaping and echelette-designed EDoF-IOLs reduce the contrast of the grating more than the monofocal IOL when viewed through the flat contact lens. The degree of reduction depended on the design of the extended-focus optics. The difference was less through the wide-angle contact lens.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate short-term visual and refractive outcomes after implantation of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in cataract patients with phacoemulsification (PHACO) and femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Shanghai Aier Eye Hospital, China. DESIGN A retrospective, observational study. METHODS Patients who underwent cataract surgery combined with Acrysoft IQ PanOptix trifocal IOL implantation were enrolled and divided into three groups: PHACO group, LAstig-FLACS group (astigmatism less then 1D) and HAstig-FLACS group (astigmatism more than 1D). Logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity of uncorrected distance (UDVA), intermediate (UIVA), near visual (UNVA), defocus curve, surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) were evaluated in 1 months postoperatively and wavefront aberrations were evaluated in 6 months. RESULTS 101 eyes of 60 patients were included with 31 eyes in PHACO group, 45 eyes in LAstig-FLACS group and 25 eyes in HAstig-FLACS group. Significant difference was found of internal Strehl Ratio (SR) between PHACO and LAstig-FLACS group (P = 0.026). In PHACO group, 79.31%, 86.21%, 72.41% of eyes gain visual acuity LogMAR 0.1 or more in UDVA, UIVA and UNVA, while 83.72%, 93.02%, 93.02% of those in LAstig-FLACS group and 92.00%, 84.00%, 76.00% in HAstig-FLACS group. CONCLUSIONS Panoptix diffractive trifocal IOL provides satisfied visual outcome in no matter FLACS or PHACO. Besides, trifocal IOL implantation via FLACS can provide a better accumulative visual acuity outcome at all distance than PHACO in 1 month. Femtosecond laser assisted limbal relaxing incisions (FLLRIs) is an excellent way to reduce a patient's corneal astigmatism.

METHODS Optical quality of a monofocal IOL (AcrySof IQ SN60WF; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., USA) and a trifocal IOL (AcrySof IQ PanOptix; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., USA) was assessed using an in vitro optical bench (OptiSpheric IOL R&D; Trioptics GmbH, Germany). At apertures of 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm, modulation transfer function (MTF) at spatial frequency of 50 lp/mm, MTF curve and the United States Air Force (USAF) resolution test chart of the two IOLs were measured and compared at their focus with different degrees of decentration and tilt. Optical quality at infinity, 60 cm and 40 cm and the through-focus MTF curves were compared when the two IOLs were centered at apertures of 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm. Spectral transmittance of the two IOLs was measured by the UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV 3300 PC; MAPADA, China). RESULTS The SN60WF and the PanOptix filtered blue light from 400 to 500 nm. Both IOLs at the far focus and the PanOptix at the intermediate focus showed a decrease in optical quality with increasing decentration and tilt. The PanOptix demonstrated enhanced optical quality compared to the previous gradient at the near focus at a decentration range of 0.3-0.7 mm with a 3.0 mm aperture, and 0.5 mm with a 4.5 mm aperture, whereas other conditions exhibited diminished optical quality with increasing decentration and tilt at the focus of both IOLs. When the two IOLs were centered, the SN60WF had better optical quality at infinity, while the PanOptix had better optical quality at 60 cm and 40 cm defocus. The optical quality of the SN60WF exceeded that of the PanOptix at far focus, with a 3 mm aperture decentration up to 0.7 mm and a 4.5 mm aperture decentration up to 0.3 mm; this observation held true for all tilts, irrespective of aperture size. As both decentration and tilt increased, the optical quality of the SN60WF deteriorated more rapidly than that of the PanOptix at the far focal point. CONCLUSIONS The SN60WF showed a decrease in optical quality with increasing decentration and tilt. Optical quality of the PanOptix at the near focus increased in some decentration conditions and decreased in some conditions, while it showed a decrease at the other focuses with increasing decentration. While tilt only had a negative effect on optical quality. When both IOLs were centered, the PanOptix provided a wider range of vision, while the SN60WF provided better far distance vision. At the far focus, the SN60WF has better resistance to tilt than the PanOptix, but the optical quality degrades more quickly when decentered and tilted.

Abstract
It is important to be able to measure the range of clear focus in clinical practice to advise on presbyopia correction techniques and to optimise the correction power. Both subjective and objective techniques are necessary: subjective techniques (such as patient reported outcome questionnaires and defocus curves) assess the impact of presbyopia on a patient and how the combination of residual objective accommodation and their natural DoF work for them; objective techniques (such as autorefraction, corneal topography and lens imaging) allow the clinician to understand how well a technique is working optically and whether it is the right choice or how adjustments can be made to optimise performance. Techniques to assess visual performance and adverse effects must be carefully conducted to gain a reliable end-point, considering the target size, contrast and illumination. Objective techniques are generally more reliable, can help to explain unexpected subjective results and imaging can be a powerful communication tool with patients. A clear diagnosis, excluding factors such as binocular vision issues or digital eye strain that can also cause similar symptoms, is critical for the patient to understand and adapt to presbyopia. Some corrective options are more permanent, such as implanted inlays / intraocular lenses or laser refractive surgery, so the optics can be trialled with contact lenses in advance (including differences between the eyes) to better communicate with the patient how the optics will work for them so they can make an informed choice.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess long-term clinical results following bilateral Tecnis Symfony ZXR00 intraocular lens implantation with mini-monovision. METHODS The medical records of cataract patients who underwent bilateral implantation of ZXR00 with intended mini-monovision (target refraction of -0.3 diopters [D] in dominant eye and -0.6 D in nondominant eye) between April 2019 and March 2021 were assessed. Postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance VA (CDVA), uncorrected intermediate VA (UIVA), uncorrected near VA (UNVA), and rate of spectacle dependence for near distance were investigated at 3 months and 2 years after surgery. RESULTS This study included 61 patients (122 eyes) with average age of 61.8 ± 7.7 years. At 2 years postoperatively, binocular logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution UDVA, UIVA, UNVA, and CDVA were 0.086 ± 0.094, 0.056 ± 0.041, 0.140 ± 0.045, and 0.012 ± 0.024, respectively. The monocular manifest refraction spherical equivalent was -0.31 ± 0.38 in the dominant eye and -0.53 ± 0.47 in the nondominant eye at 3 months postoperatively, and -0.38 ± 0.43 in the dominant eye and -0.61 ± 0.54 in the nondominant eye at 2 years postoperatively. Eight out of 61 patients (13.1%) needed glasses 3 months after surgery, and nine out of 61 patients (14.8%) needed glasses 2 years after surgery. CONCLUSIONS The bilateral implantation of ZXR00s with mini-monovision allows for a good VA at wide range of distance from far to near, thereby resulting in high rate of spectacle independence. These results have held up well even after 2 years after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) on visual acuity (VA) after implantation of a diffractive multifocal intraocular lens (mIOL). SETTING Eye Clinic, Okayama, Japan. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS This study evaluated 475 eyes of 475 patients who underwent cataract surgery with a TECNIS Multifocal ZLB00 lens implant between November 2017 and October 2019. Patient eyes were classified into the complete PVD group (PVD group) or the control group with no PVD/partial PVD (non-PVD group) and divided into 3 age categories: 65 to 69, 70 to 74, and 75 to 79 years. The postoperative VA of the PVD and non-PVD groups was compared between and within groups by age. RESULTS Distance-corrected near VA (DCNVA) was significantly worse in the PVD group than in the non-PVD group in all age categories ( P ≤ .029). In the PVD group, both corrected distance VA (CDVA) and DCNVA were significantly worse in the 75 to 79 years age group than in the 65 to 69 and 70 to 74 years age groups ( P ≤ .034). CDVA and DCNVA in the non-PVD group did not differ significantly between age categories. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that complete PVD worsens near VA in eyes with a diffractive mIOL. Furthermore, eyes with complete PVD may show an age-related decline in both CDVA and DCNVA. In particular, eyes ≥75 years of age with complete PVD have a poor visual prognosis and should be given careful consideration when deciding whether to implant a diffractive mIOL.

Abstract
Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is currently the most effective clinical treatment for cataracts. Nevertheless, due to the growth of the eye axis in patients with congenital cataracts during the process of growth and development, the progressive incapacity of an IOL with a fixed focus does not meet the demands of practical usage, leading to the occurrence of ametropia. This work describes an innovative class of an IOL bulk material that offers good biosafety and light-controlled refractive index adjustment. Acrylate materials were synthesized for the preparation of IOLs by free radical polymerization of ethylene glycol phenyl ether methacrylate (EGPEMA), hydrophilic monomer 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy) ethyl acrylate (EA), and functional monomer hydroxymethyl coumarin methacrylate (CMA). Under 365/254 nm ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, the coumarin group could adjust the polymer material's refractive index through reversible photoinduced dimerization/depolymerization. Meanwhile, the potential for the IOL use is enabled by its satisfactory biosafety. Such a light-induced diopter adjustable IOL will be more appropriate for implantation during cataract surgery since it will not require the correction needed for ametropia and will offer more accurate and humane treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the complications that resulted in the explantation or secondary intervention with foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs). SETTING University setting, Salt Lake City, Utah. DESIGN Survey study. METHODS For the 25th consecutive year, surgeons were surveyed regarding complications associated with foldable IOLs requiring explantation or secondary intervention over the 2022 calendar year. These forms were made available online using the ASCRS and ESCRS websites and a fax-on-demand service. Surgeons completed 1 survey for each foldable IOL requiring explantation or secondary intervention. Further analysis determined complication trends related to specific IOL styles, materials, and types over the past 16 years (2007 to 2022). RESULTS 103 completed surveys were returned in 2022 contributing to a total of 1627 tabulated surveys since 2007. In the 2022 survey, dislocation/decentration continued to be the most common complication overall. Glare/optical aberrations was a common complication associated with multifocal IOLs continuing a 16-year trend. In addition, hydrophilic acrylic IOLs as well as some silicone lenses in eyes with asteroid hyalosis demonstrated calcification as the most common complication necessitating explantation. CONCLUSIONS Dislocation/decentration remains the leading cause of explantation in most IOL types. Glare/optical aberrations continue to be an associated complication of multifocal IOLs suggesting this ongoing issue has yet to be resolved with this type of IOL. In addition, calcification of hydrophilic acrylic lenses and silicone lenses is a rare event but continues to occur.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the rate and characteristics of cataract surgery candidates suitable for multifocal intraocular lens implantation among patients undergoing preoperative evaluation in a public hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS Screening was performed based on the patient's medical records, comprehensive ophthalmic examination, optical biometry (Zeiss, IOL Master 700) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Heidelberg, OCT Spectralis) in accordance with the relevant indications and contraindications mentioned in the pertinent literature. Patients were included in the present study if they were eligible for bilateral cataract surgery. The exclusion criteria were the presence of central nervous system or motility issues, prior refractive surgery, the presence of astigmatism greater than 1 dioptre and/or the presence of important ocular comorbidities in either eye. RESULTS The study evaluated 1200 consecutive patients. Four hundred thirty-two patients (36%) were not eligible for bilateral surgery and were excluded from the study. Of the 768 patients included in the present study, 346 (45.1%) were considered suitable candidates. Four hundred twenty-two patients (54.9%) were excluded for one or both eyes. Among them, 121 (28.7%) were excluded because of retinal disease, 120 (28.4%) because of regular astigmatism (> 1.0 D of corneal astigmatism), 32 (7.5%) because of pseudoexfoliation or zonular instability, and 30 (7.1%) because of glaucoma or ocular hypertension; in addition, 90 (21.3%) patients were excluded for multiple reasons. Suitable candidates were significantly younger (70 and 75 years, respectively) (p < 0.001). After being informed about the potential risks and benefits of MOIL implantation, 212 of 346 (83.8%) eligible patients provided consent. CONCLUSION Close to half of cataract patients in a public hospital were eligible for MOIL implantation, and the majority of patients would proceed to surgery. The most prevalent contraindication was macular disease.

Abstract
Biomedical implants are crucial in providing support and functionality to patients with missing or defective body parts. However, implants carry an inherent risk of bacterial infections that are biofilm-associated and lead to significant complications. These infections often result in implant failure, requiring replacement by surgical restoration. Given these complications, it is crucial to study the biofilm formation mechanism on various biomedical implants that will help prevent implant failures. Therefore, this comprehensive review explores various types of implants (e.g., dental implant, orthopedic implant, tracheal stent, breast implant, central venous catheter, cochlear implant, urinary catheter, intraocular lens, and heart valve) and medical devices (hemodialyzer and pacemaker) in use. In addition, the mechanism of biofilm formation on those implants, and their pathogenesis were discussed. Furthermore, this article critically reviews various approaches in combating implant-associated infections, with a special emphasis on novel non-antibiotic alternatives to mitigate biofilm infections.

Abstract
PURPOSE Limitations of existing diffractive multifocal designs for presbyopia correction include discrete foci and photic phenomena such as halos and glare. This study aimed to explore a methodology for developing refractive extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) lenses based on a periodic power profile. METHODS The proposed design technique employed an optical power profile that periodically alternated between far, intermediate and near distances across the pupil radius. To evaluate the lens designs, optical bench testing was conducted. The impact on visual performance was assessed using a spatial light modulator-based adaptive optics vision simulator in human subjects. Additionally, the effects of pupil size change and lens decentration on retinal image quality were examined. A comparative performance analysis was carried out against a typical diffractive trifocal design and a monofocal lens. RESULTS The proposed design method was found to be effective in uniformly distributing light energy across all object distances within the desired depth of focus (DoF). While trade-offs between overall image quality and DoF still exist, the EDoF lens design, when tested in human subjects, provided a continuous DoF spanning over 2.25 D. The results also revealed that the EDoF design had a slightly higher dependence on changes in pupil size and lens decentration than the diffractive trifocal design. CONCLUSION The proposed design method showed significant potential as an approach for developing refractive EDoF ophthalmic lenses. These lenses offer a continuous DoF but are slightly more susceptible to variations in pupil size and decentration compared with the diffractive trifocal design.

AIM To investigate the difference in the initial surgical results between a new monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with enhanced intermediate vision and the standard monofocal IOL in patients with retinal disease. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with retinal disease who underwent cataract surgery due to accompanying cataracts. Types of retinal diseases were investigated and best-corrected distant visual acuity, distant uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), intermediate UCVA, near UCVA, and spherical equivalent were recorded at each visit. The surgical results were investigated at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after surgery. RESULTS Seventeen eyes treated with a new monofocal IOL enhanced for intermediate vision (ICB00 group) and 18 eyes treated with the standard monofocal IOL (AAB00 group) were included in this study. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics, including the type of underlying retinal disease, between the groups. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of distant, intermediate, or near UCVA at day 1 and week 1 after surgery. However, at 1 month after surgery, the ICB00 group showed a significantly better intermediate vision improvement than the AAB00 group (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Even in patients with cataract accompanied by retinal disease, the use of the ICB00 IOL showed significant improvement in intermediate vision compared to the use of the AAB00 (standard monofocal) IOL. The ICB00 IOL might be a good option for patients with cataract and retinal disease in the era of increased intermediate vision needs in daily life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Tecnis Eyhance ICB00 and Tecnis Eyhance Toric DIU) has been developed to enhance intermediate vision while avoiding the disadvantages of multifocal IOLs. Although many studies have demonstrated the improvement of intermediate visual acuity with enhanced monofocal IOLs, it is not known specifically for which patients these IOLs should be recommended or avoided. In this study, we aim to find out which ocular parameters affect vision performance and photic phenomenon of ICB00 or DIU at different distances. METHODS Patients who underwent cataract surgery with ICB00 or DIU, performed by a single surgeon, were included. Before surgery, the patients' age, gender, axial length, anterior chamber depth, spherical aberration Z (4,0), vertical coma, horizontal coma, angle kappa (κ), angle alpha (α), and other ocular parameters were investigated. One month after surgery, uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA at 40 cm), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA at 66 cm), uncorrected distance logMAR visual acuity (UDVA), IOL decentration, and quality of vision (QoV) questionnaires were conducted. RESULTS A total of 43 patients (58 eyes) were included. The results of the univariate linear regression analyses showed a negative correlation between spherical aberration and logMAR UNVA and UIVA (p = 0.003, β=-0.51 and p = 0.018, β=-0.23, respectively) and a positive correlation between angle α and logMAR UIVA (p = 0.036, β = 0.19). Deeper anterior chamber depth (ACD) was associated with poorer total QoV (p = 0.018, β = 14.43), particularly in glare, halo, blur, and fluctuation perception. A higher degree of IOL decentration tended to decrease UNVA and UIVA (Pearson correlation coefficient, r = 0.336 and r = 0.221, respectively); however, no significant effect was observed on UDVA (Pearson correlation coefficient, r = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS In enhanced monofocal IOLs, a higher level of spherical aberration is associated with better performance in UNVA and UIVA, whereas a larger angle α has a negative impact. A deeper ACD negatively affects the QoV.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare visual performance and photic visual disturbances of patients implanted with 2 different extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) using mini-monovision. SETTING Ambulatory surgical center at the University of São Paulo in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. DESIGN Prospective, examiner-masked, randomized clinical trial. METHODS Patients were assigned to either a bilateral Symfony (SYM) or Vivity (VIV) IOL group, with 1 eye targeted for myopia (-0.75 diopter [D]). Defocus curve, contrast sensitivity (Pelli-Robson), Patient-Reported Spectacle Independence Questionnaire, and Quality of Vision questionnaire were recorded at 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS A total of 126 patients finished the follow-up: group SYM: n = 60 and group VIV: n = 66. Regarding near visual acuity, 80% of patients in the SYM group and 84% of patients in the VIV group achieved J2 or better on the near-planned eye ( P = .3840). No significant differences were found between groups for distance visual acuity, defocus profiles, PRISC, contrast sensitivity, or reading speed ( P > .05). Notably, significant between-group differences were observed for bothersome visual disturbances ( P = .0235), with 45% of patients in the SYM group with a score of 0 for bothersome disturbances compared with 66% in the VIV group. CONCLUSIONS Mini-monovision using these EDOF IOLs was well-tolerated in the patient cohort. No significant differences were found for visual performance tests between the VIV and SYM groups. However, the data suggest that Vivity IOL is associated with a lower probability of bothersome visual disturbances compared with Symfony IOL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the equivalent K-readings and total keratometry zones that is optimally suitable for calculating the IOL spheroequivalent according to 7 formulas. METHODS The study included 40 patients (40 eyes) who underwent uneventful femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange (RLE) with implantation of a trifocal diffractive IOL (PanOptix, Alcon inc.). Targeted emmetropia was achieved in all patients, no distance and near correction was needed. Retrospective IOL calculations were performed utilizing 7 formulas (SRK/T, Holladay 1 and 2, Haigis, Hoffer Q, Barrett Universal 2, Olsen) and Pentacam keratometry data: Holladay equivalent K-readings, total optical power by ray tracing (TCRP) centered on the apex and pupil in 10 zones (from 0.5 to 5 mm in 0.5 mm increments). For each formula/zone/map combination: postoperative predicted refraction (PPRs), mean absolute errors (MAEs), and median absolute errors (MedAEs) were analyzed. RESULTS According to EKR, the Haigis formula showed the lowest error in the central zones up to 3.5 mm, the TCRP zone for Holladay I and II formulas 4.0-4.5 mm, for HofferQ and SRK/T formulas 4.5-5.0 mm, and for Olsen and Barrett II Universal-5 mm. CONCLUSION The use of keratometry data (EKR, TCRP) in the formulas adapted to SimK, with the correct choice of the evaluation zone of keratometric data, will increase the chance of hitting the refractive target.

Abstract
The NIMO TEMPO (Lambda-X, Nivelles, Belgium) is a novel, user-friendly and compact device designed for in vitro optical analysis of refractive and diffractive intraocular lenses (IOLs). This device analyzes the IOL wavefront and generates a synthetic eye model for numerical computation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the precision of this innovative device. Intra- and inter-observer variability were calculated using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) after conducting ten measurements of eight different IOL models, with each measurement being repeated by three distinct operators (resulting in a total of 30 measurements for each IOL). The device demonstrated satisfactory intra- and inter-observer variability in evaluating IOL power and modulation transfer function (MTF) profiles, with values of 0.066 and 0.078 diopters for IOL power and 0.018 and 0.019 for MTF measurements, respectively. Furthermore, this hybrid optical and numerical in vitro IOL wavefront analyzer appears to have several advantages over conventional optical bench devices. It reduces the need for operator manipulation, and allows for numerical modeling of various optical environments, including cornea models and apertures. In conclusion, this novel metrology device designed for refractive and diffractive IOLs appears to provide a satisfactory precision, making it a promising tool in the field of IOL metrology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation is a popular treatment option for cataract surgery patients who desire spectacle independence. This study aimed to understand patient perception and outcomes with PCIOLs by analyzing patient social media posts. METHODS This was a non-interventional retrospective study that used predefined search strings to identify publicly available social media data discussing patient perceptions and outcomes with seven PCIOLs (three trifocal, one multifocal with continuous range of vision, and three extended depth-of-focus [EDOF] PCIOLs). Relevant posts were searched from Reddit, YouTube, and Facebook and patient forums Patient.info, Medicine.net, Optiker-Forum, and Medizin Forum from September 2020 to October 2022 in four languages (English, German, French, and Spanish). RESULTS A total of 2237 posts were included, all in English, with 68% of posts identified on Patient.info. The themes most discussed by patients were quality of vision (69% of total posts), patient experience after PCIOL implantation (30%), patient perception before PCIOL implantation (26%), and visual disturbances (24%). Most discussed PCIOLs were Vivity® (58% of total posts), PanOptix® (38%), Synergy® (26%), and Symfony® (13%). Patient perception of PCIOLs was most frequently influenced by healthcare professionals, online reading, and online videos (31%, 18%, and 15% of posts, respectively). A total of 215 posts (10% of total) discussed glasses use after PCIOL surgery: for EDOF and trifocal/multifocal PCIOLs, 37% and 56% of posts discussing glasses use stated being glasses free, respectively. A total of 537 posts discussed visual disturbances: halos/rings (66%) and starbursts (36%) were the most discussed visual disturbances for all lens types. Being glasses free after PCIOL implantation appeared to be a key driver of patient satisfaction. CONCLUSION Social media provides a rich source of information on patient perception, experience, and overall satisfaction of PCIOLs that can be used to complement and guide the collection of further evidence generated through controlled trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the possible correlation between patients' personality traits and subjective perception of quality of vision (QoV), after multifocal intraocular lens (mIOL) implantation. METHODS patients who had bilateral implantation of a non-diffractive X-WAVE or a trifocal lens were assessed 6 months postoperatively. Patients answered the NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI-20) questionnaire ("Big Five five-factor personality model") to examine their personality. Six months following surgery, patients were asked to fill a QoV questionnaire where they graded the frequency of 10 common visual symptoms. Primary outcomes were to evaluate the correlation between personality scores and the reported frequency of visual disturbances. RESULTS The study comprised 20 patients submitted to bilateral cataract surgery, 10 with a non-diffractive X-WAVE lens (AcrySof® IQ Vivity) and 10 with a trifocal lens (AcrySof® IQ PanOptix). Mean age was 60.23 (7.06) years. Six months following surgery, patients with lower scores of conscientiousness and extroversion reported a higher frequency of visual disturbances (blurred vision, P = .015 and P = .009, seeing double images P = .018 and P = .006, and having difficulties focusing, P = .027 and P = .022, respectively). In addition, patients with high neuroticism scores had more difficulty focusing (P = .033). CONCLUSIONS In this study, personality traits such as low conscientiousness and extroversion and high neuroticism significantly influenced QoV perception 6 months after bilateral multifocal lens implantation. Patients' personality questionnaires could be a useful preoperative assessment test to a mIOL.

Abstract
To demonstrate the results of ray tracing higher- and lower-order aberrations in pseudophakic eyes with rotationally asymmetrical segment multifocal lenses, total high- and low-order aberrations, measured by root mean square value (RMS), refraction, uncorrected distance and uncorrected near visual acuity (UCDVA and UCNVA), and tear break-up time, were measured at scotopic size in 42 eyes of patients implanted with bifocal refractive Mplus15/Mplus30 IOL with +1.5 dpt near addition (42 eyes of patients implanted with Mplus15)/+3.0 dpt near addition (91 eyes of patients implanted with Mplus30), and 107 eyes of control group. No significant differences were noticed between the examined groups concerning UCDVA, UCNVA, and tear break-up time (p < 0.001). Coma and total high-order aberrations were significantly higher for the Mplus30 lens in comparison to the Mplus15 lens and the control group (Coma, Trefoil p < 0.001, Secondary Astigmatism p = 0.002). The spherical aberrations were significantly higher in the lower-addition lens (p = 0.016) in comparison to the control group and to the higher-addition lens group (p < 0.001). Both intraocular lens models were successful at reaching refractive aim, good distance, and near function with the lower higher-order aberrations for the low-addition lens.

Abstract
Purpose The optical function of a novel refractive-diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) was tested in vitro to provide preclinical metrics that predict postoperative performance and may guide patient selection. Methods Fundamental optical characteristics of a trifocal hydrophobic-acrylic IOL with a C-loop haptic configuration (AT ELANA 841P, Carl Zeiss Meditec) were assessed using a fully automated optical test device under both monochromatic and polychromatic conditions combined with increased or compensated spherical aberration (SA). The area under the modulation transfer function (MTFa) was calculated across a defocus range from +1D to -3.5D and used to simulate visual acuity (VA). A polychromatic point spread function (PSF) was employed to assess the light distribution and identify photic phenomena. Results The highest MTFa values were obtained under monochromatic conditions using an SA-neutral corneal model. Nevertheless, after introducing SA and polychromatic light, the IOL performance remained good. Simulated VA values were 0.00 logMAR for distance, 0.1 logMAR at 100 cm, and progressively improving to 0.05 logMAR at 40 cm from the intermediate point. The light-spread analysis confirmed halos around the PSF center, which is a characteristic of trifocal technology. Conclusion AT ELANA 841P demonstrated good optical performance across various distances, independently of spectral and SA conditions, resulting in good simulated VA. Although light spread resembles standard trifocal IOLs, clinical studies are essential to confirm these laboratory results.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate computationally the optical performance of AcrySof IQ Vivity extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) in post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) eyes. SETTING Visual Optics and Biophotonics Laboratory, Madrid, Spain. DESIGN Experimental study. METHODS Computer pseudophakic eye models were implemented using reported post-LASIK corneal aberrations (refractive corrections from -7.5 to +4.5 diopters [D]) and virtually implanted with monofocal (AcrySof IQ) or EDOF (AcrySof IQ Vivity) IOLs. Retinal image quality was quantified through visual Strehl (VS). The depth of focus (DOF) was calculated from the through-focus VS curves. Halos were estimated from the light spread in the image of a pinhole. Those quantitative parameters were obtained for 5.0 and 3.0 mm pupil diameters. RESULTS Simulated virgin eyes showed VS of 0.89/0.99 with monofocal IOLs and 0.74/0.52 with EDOF IOLs for 5.0/3.0 mm pupils at best focus. VS decreased with induced spherical aberration (SA) by 25% and with induced SA + coma by 61% on average (3.0 mm pupils). The DOF was 2.50 D in virgin eyes with EDOF IOLs, 1.66 ± 0.30 and 2.54 ± 0.31 D ( P < .05) on average in post-LASIK eyes for 3.0 mm pupils, monofocal and EDOF IOLs, respectively. Halos were more sensitive to SA induction for 5.0 mm pupils, and induction of positive SA (myopic LASIK) resulted in reduced halos with the EDOF when compared with the monofocal IOLs, by 1.62 (SA) and 1.86 arc min (SA + coma), on average. CONCLUSIONS Computer post-LASIK pseudophakic eye models showed that the DOF was less dependent on the presence of SA and coma with EDOF IOLs and that halos were reduced with EDOF IOLs compared with the monofocal IOL for a range of SA.

Short-term clinical outcomes after implantation of monofocal intraocular lens with enhanced intermediate function in eyes with epiretinal membrane. Sci Rep 2023; 13:18018. [PMID: 37865699 PMCID: PMC10590442 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-44839-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Our study evaluated the clinical outcomes after implantation of a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with enhanced intermediate function in eyes with epiretinal membrane (ERM). Patients with preexisting ERM who underwent cataract surgery with implantation of monofocal IOL with enhanced intermediate function were included retrospectively. According to the ERM grade and central subfield thickness (CST) obtained from preoperative optical coherence tomography, patients were divided into non-fovea-involving and fovea-involving ERM groups. At 1 month after surgery, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), contrast sensitivity, defocus curve, and satisfaction questionnaire were evaluated. Postoperative clinical findings were compared with age-matched controls without ERM. A total of 50 patients' eyes (28 and 22 in the non-fovea-involving and fovea-involving ERM groups, respectively) were compared with 42 control eyes. One month post-surgery, significant differences in UDVA, CDVA, and CST (corrected P was < 0.001, = 0.001, and < 0.001, respectively) were observed between the fovea-involving ERM and control group; however, no significant differences in UIVA and UNVA were observed between the two groups. Contrast sensitivity showed inferior results in the fovea-involving group without significance. Photic phenomena were reported less in the fovea-involving group than in the non-fovea-involving group. More than 70% of patients in both ERM groups were satisfied. Implantation of monofocal IOL with enhanced intermediate function could be a good option for patients with ERM that need intermediate vision.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e35544. [PMID: 37832110 PMCID: PMC10578709 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Most previous studies on the effects of multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOL) on Humphrey visual field (HVF) used presbyopic corrective lens (PC). There has been insufficient data from patients with MIOL performing HVF with and without PC. This study aimed to determine the effect of PC on HVF testing in patients with MIOL. This was a prospective, comparative crossover study at the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University between June 2015 and July 2018. Early-stage glaucomatous and non-glaucomatous pseudophakic patients with 2 models of MIOL completed HVF testing with and without PC. Mean deviation (MD), pattern standard deviation (PSD), and reliability indices (fixation losses, false positives, and false negatives) were compared. Ninety-four eyes of 59 patients were enrolled. After excluding patients with confirmed unreliable visual field, 82 eyes of 51 patients (male, 22; female, 29) with a mean age of 65.4 years were included in the study. Forty-nine eyes were non-glaucoma and 33 eyes were early-stage glaucoma. Forty-four eyes received TECNIS ZM900 and 38 eyes received Acrysof IQ ReSTOR SN6AD1. The overall MD standard deviation was -3.5 (2.1) with PC and -3.1 (2.1) without PC (P = .01). The overall PSD standard deviation was 2.8 (1.5) with PC and 2.7 (1.5) without PC (P = .93). The reliability indices were not statistically significantly different with and without PC. There was a good intraclass correlation (ICC) of MD (ICC = 0.87) and PSD (ICC = 0.88) with and without PC. Eyes with TECNIS ZM 900 had significantly better MD when performing HVF without PC (mean difference -0.7, P < .01), but not with Acrysof IQ ReSTOR SN6AD1 (mean difference -0.1, P = .74). Pseudophakic eyes with MIOL may not require PC during HVF testing regardless of the MIOL model. Although eyes with TECNIS ZM900 performed HVF without PC resulted in a significantly better MD value compared with PC, the difference was not clinically significant.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the impact of tear film on postoperative visual acuity after cataract surgery to implant an intraocular lens (IOL). Methods Tear break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer I test, objective scatter index (OSI), and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA), and near visual acuity (UCNVA) were collected 6 months after cataract surgery. Results Fifteen eyes with monofocal (Mo-) IOLs and 15 eyes with multifocal (Mu-) IOLs from 30 subjects were included. The Mu-IOL group exhibited higher baseline OSI (1.92 ± 0.69, P < 0.001). Negative correlations-both groups: tear film-related OSI (TF-OSI) and TBUT/Schirmer I test; Mo-IOL: TBUT and logMAR UCDVA-and positive correlations-both groups: TF-OSI and baseline OSI, baseline OSI/TF-OSI and logMAR UCDVA; Mu-IOL: baseline OSI/TF-OSI and logMAR UCIVA/UCNVA-were found. Linear regression showed associations between TF-OSI and TBUT (Mo-IOL: R2 = 0.455, P = 0.006; Mu-IOL: R2 = 0.454, P = 0.006)/Schirmer I test (Mo-IOL: R2 = 0.527, P = 0.002; Mu-IOL: R2 = 0.266, P = 0.049). Multiple regression showed associations between baseline OSI (Mo-IOL: R2 = 0.309, P = 0.032; Mu-IOL: R2 = 0.305, P = 0.033)/TF-OSI (Mo-IOL: R2 = 0.332, P = 0.025; Mu-IOL: R2 = 0.523, P = 0.002)/TBUT (Mo-IOL only: R2 = 0.315, P = 0.029) and logMAR UCDVA. Conclusions TF-OSI reflects the UCDVA performance in eyes with IOLs and facilitates a better understanding of the effects of the tear film. Translational Relevance TF-OSI offers a developmental and objective approach to assessing the changing visual performance caused by tear film after cataract surgery and IOL implantation in clinical practices.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the optical quality and higher order aberrations of four different refractive extended depth of focus intraocular lens (EDOF IOL) models (Lentis Comfort [Teleon Surgical BV], MiniWell (SIFI), LuxSmart [Bausch & Lomb], and AcrySof IQ Vivity [Alcon Laboratories, Inc]) and a monofocal IOL (Tecnis ZCB00; Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc). METHODS An optical metrology instrument (OptiSpheric IOL PRO2; Trioptics GmbH) was used to study image quality metrics of the different IOLs. The modulation transfer function (MTF) was measured at pupil sizes 1 to 5 mm in 1-mm steps. Area under the MTF and simulated visual acuity were calculated for different pupil diameters. Wavefront aberrations were measured with the SHS Ophthalmic device (Optocraft GmbH), which features a Hartmann-Shack sensor. RESULTS All EDOF lenses yielded a simulated far visual acuity of 0.00 logMAR (20/20 Snellen) or better. At the 0.20 logMAR visual acuity level, the EDOF IOLs showed an increased depth of focus of at least 0.75 diopters compared to the monofocal IOL. Pupil dependency was more pronounced with the MiniWell, LuxSmart, and Vivity, whereas the Lentis showed a more consistent behavior at different apertures. The wavefront measurement revealed increased central aberrations for the MiniWell, LuxSmart, and Vivity IOL compared to the monofocal control. CONCLUSIONS All EDOF IOLs demonstrated increased depth of focus while maintaining good simulated visual acuity at the far focus. Pupil dependency differed between the IOL models. The wavefront analysis revealed the complex design of the different EDOF IOLs with several zones with varying aberrations. [J Refract Surg. 2023;39(10):668-674.].

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare long-term visual function after implantation of diffractive extended depth-of-focus (EDF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) using echelett optics and monofocal IOLs with the same platform. METHODS In this prospective comparative case series, diffractive EDF or monofocal IOLs were implanted binocularly and followed up for 2 years. At the last visit, distance-corrected binocular visual acuities were measured at distances of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 2, 3, and 5 m. Photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity was also examined. Dynamic visual function was evaluated in terms of functional visual acuity (FVA), standard deviation of visual acuity (SDVA), visual maintenance ratio (VMR), mean response time, and number of blinks. The outcomes were compared between the two IOLs, and the influence of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) on contrast sensitivity and FVA was examined. RESULTS Binocular visual acuity of eyes with EDF IOLs was better at distances of 0.5 and 0.7 m than that of eyes with monofocal IOL (P < 0.026). There were no differences in binocular visual acuity at other distances, contrast sensitivities, or dynamic visual functions. The influence of PCO on the visual functions was not found in eyes with EDF IOLs. CONCLUSION Up to 2 years postoperatively, eyes with diffractive EDF IOLs sustained superior intermediate visual acuity together with visual function comparable to that of eyes with monofocal IOLs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish consensus among experts in lens and refractive surgery to guide general ophthalmologists on issues related to presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs). DESIGN A modified Delphi method to reach a consensus among experts. METHODS A steering committee formulated 105 relevant items grouped into four sections (preoperative considerations, IOL selection, intraoperative considerations, and postoperative considerations). The consensus was defined as ≥ 70% of experts agreeing with the evaluation of a statement. RESULTS Ten experts participated and completed all rounds of questionnaires (100% response rate). Of 68 items considered in the preoperative considerations, consensus was achieved in 48 (70.6%). There was a lack of consensus over IOL selection, the experts only agreed on the importance of the patient's habits for the optical IOL design selection. Of the 14 considerations related to intraoperative issues, the experts reached a consensus on 10 (71.4%). The postoperative considerations section reached the highest consensus in 10 items of 13 (76.9%). CONCLUSIONS Key recommendations for a diffractive multifocal IOL were a potential postoperative visual acuity > 0.5, a keratometry between 40-45 diopters, a pupil >2.8 mm under photopic conditions and <6.0 mm under scotopic conditions, a root mean square of higher order corneal aberrations <0.5 µm for 6-mm pupil size, while monofocal or non-diffractive IOLs should be considered for patients with coexisting eye disorders. A lack of agreement was found in the issues related to the IOL selection.

Abstract
Multifocal diffractive optical elements (MDOEs), which produce arbitrary light distribution, are widely used in lightweight and compact optical systems. MDOEs that are combined with multiple functions tend to have complex step structures, limiting their applications. We propose a facile method named continuous variable curve with multi-subperiods (CVCMS) to design adjustable multifocal single-layer diffractive optical elements. Through the analysis, the model achieved arbitrary diffraction efficiency distribution with an improved smooth continuous phase profile in each diffractive ring while retaining the periodicity. To display the high design freedom of the method, we utilized this method to design and discuss a broadband multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) focused on the optimization of far focal point. Finally, the method was compared with other multifocal design methods. The results show that the CVCMS method achieved adjustable multifocal design with better performance and smoother profile than other MDOE design techniques. The proposed model can be applied to multifocal ophthalmic lens designs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the levels of habituation and its influence on outcome satisfaction in patients who underwent bilateral multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS A total of 24 patients underwent bilateral multifocal IOL implantation surgery with the AcrySof IQ PanOptix trifocal diffractive IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) following cataract extraction or for refractive purposes. Data were collected 3 and 6 months after surgery, which included subjective refraction, corrected and uncorrected visual acuity (distance, intermediate, near), a contrast sensitivity test, simulation with the Halo & Glare Simulator (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG), two visual quality surveys, and a slit-lamp examination by an ophthalmologist. RESULTS All patients were spectacle independent for distance vision and 92% (n = 22) needed no visual aid for near vision. Minor visual acuity improvement was detected between both examinations at monocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (P = .025). Improvements of presence, size, and intensity of visual disturbances were not statistically significant, but overall patient satisfaction (P = .009) and Weber-Contrast sensitivity under mesopic conditions (P = .029) increased significantly. CONCLUSIONS Diffractive multifocal IOLs are a stable treatment for presbyopia and/or cataract with a high spectacle independence rate. Visual disturbances caused by their optics do not decrease significantly between 3 and 6 months after surgery. Habituation and neuroadaptation play a significant role in patient satisfaction and contrast sensitivity during and possibly beyond that period. [J Refract Surg. 2023;39(8):510-517.].

Abstract
The word "elective" refers to medications and procedures undertaken by choice or with a lower grade of prioritization. Patients usually use elective medications or undergo elective procedures to treat pathologic conditions or for cosmetic enhancement, impacting their lifestyle positively and, thus, improving their quality of life. However, those interventions can affect the homeostasis of the tear film and ocular surface. Consequently, they generate signs and symptoms that could impair the patient's quality of life. This report describes the impact of elective topical and systemic medications and procedures on the ocular surface and the underlying mechanisms. Moreover, elective procedures performed for ocular diseases, cosmetic enhancement, and non-ophthalmic interventions, such as radiotherapy and bariatric surgery, are discussed. The report also evaluates significant anatomical and biological consequences of non-urgent interventions to the ocular surface, such as neuropathic and neurotrophic keratopathies. Besides that, it provides an overview of the prophylaxis and management of pathological conditions resulting from the studied interventions and suggests areas for future research. The report also contains a systematic review investigating the quality of life among people who have undergone small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Overall, SMILE refractive surgery seems to cause more vision disturbances than LASIK in the first month post-surgery, but less dry eye symptoms in long-term follow up.

Abstract
This study compares the efficacy, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of three intraocular implants (IOL): Tecnis Synergy IOL, AcrySof IQ PanOptix Trifocal, and Tecnis Symfony EDOF IOL. Participants achieving 20/20 or better uncorrected binocular visual acuity were as follows: Synergy-67% distance, 64% intermediate, and 47% near; PanOptix-73% distance, 73% intermediate, and 50% near; and Symfony-63% distance, 75% intermediate, and 22% near. Symfony demonstrated superior intermediate visual acuity compared to Synergy (p = 0.0182) for those achieving 20/25 or better. Both Synergy and PanOptix showed superiority over Symfony for near visual acuity (p < 0.0001). Halos were statistically more common in Synergy participants compared to PanOptix (p = 0.0013) and Symfony (p < 0.0001). Each trial lens outperformed its monofocal IOL in terms of independence from glasses or contacts, with Synergy and PanOptix showing statistical significance over Symfony. Comparing contrast sensitivities and defocus curves was challenging due to data variance and as such, standardization of United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) data reporting is key for better comparison of outcomes among different IOL platforms.

J Ophthalmol 2023; 2023:8814627. [PMID: 37362313 PMCID: PMC10289873 DOI: 10.1155/2023/8814627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of the study is to evaluate the visual and patient-reported outcomes of patients undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) who were not primarily good candidates for multifocal IOL implantation. Methods Retrospective analysis of data from 30 eyes (23 patients) undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of one of two EDOF IOLs (follow-up: 37.9 ± 16.2 months) and prospective observational study including 106 eyes (78 patients) implanted with one of 6 different EDOF models (follow-up: 8.0 ± 7.7 months). Patients recruited had one of the following conditions: monofocal IOL implanted in the fellow eye, previous corneal refractive surgery, mild and nonprogressive maculopathy or glaucoma, age > 75 years, amblyopia, or previous vitrectomy. Results In the retrospective phase, significant improvements were found in uncorrected distance (UDVA), corrected distance (CDVA), and corrected near visual acuity (CNVA) (p ≤ 0.013), with a nonsignificant trend to improvement in uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA). A total of 90% of patients were completely to moderately satisfied with the outcome achieved. In the prospective phase, significant improvements were found in UDVA, CDVA, UNVA, and CNVA (p ≤ 0.032), with a total of 85.5% of patients being completely to moderately satisfied (dissatisfaction 3.3%). In both phases, extreme difficulties were only reported by a limited percentage of patients for performing some near vision activities. Conclusions EDOF IOLs seem to be a viable option for providing an efficient visual rehabilitation with good levels of patient satisfaction and spectacle independence associated in patients that are not primarily good candidates for multifocal IOL implantation.

Abstract
With the development of refractive corneal surgery, excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has become a common refractive surgery procedure. However, post-LASIK patients are at increased risk of developing cataracts as they age and often require IOL implantation. The choice of IOLs is particularly important for these patients, who have smaller residual refractive error and have higher requirements for post-cataract vision recovery and visual quality than the general population. Multifocal IOLs are widely used in clinical practice for patients with high visual acuity needs, such as cataract patients after refractive keratomileusis, due to their advantages of providing excellent near and distance visual acuity; however, compared to monofocal IOLs, multifocal IOLs can lead to postoperative problems related to visual quality such as increased higher order aberrations and decreased contrast sensitivity. Therefore, whether multifocal IOLs have advantages for post-LASIK cataract patients, such as improving the visual quality of such patients, has attracted attention. In this paper, we analyze the current status of research on the implantation of multifocal IOLs in post-LASIK cataract patients by domestic and foreign experts, review and summarize the relevant literature, and propose further discussion in the context of the actual situation of postoperative visual quality and vision recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate visual performance and quality of life after bilateral implantation of 2 extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses (EDOF IOLs). SETTING Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Medicine and Science of Ageing, University "G. d'Annunzio" Chieti-Pescara, Italy, and Ophthalmic Unit, Department of Neurosciences, Biomedicine and Movement Sciences, University of Verona, Italy. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. METHODS 60 eyes of 30 patients with senile cataract were enrolled in this study. Patients underwent phacoemulsification and bilateral implantation of the Mini WELL IOL in the dominant eye and the Mini WELL PROXA IOL in the nondominant eye within a month. The main outcome measures over a 3-month follow-up period were uncorrected and corrected visual acuity at different distances (33 cm, 60 cm, and 4 m), defocus curve, contrast sensitivity, and patient satisfaction (evaluated by mean of the National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality-of-Life instrument-42 questionnaire). RESULTS Binocular uncorrected visual acuity at 90 days was 0.03 ± 0.11 logMAR for long distance, 0.05 ± 0.10 logMAR for intermediate distance, 0.03 ± 0.08 logMAR at 40 cm, and 0.06 ± 0.08 logMAR at 33 cm. Statistically significant differences between the 2 EDOF IOLs in favor of Mini WELL PROXA IOL were observed for uncorrected near visual acuity at 40 and 33 cm ( P < .001 and P < .001, respectively) and for distance-corrected near visual acuity at 40 cm ( P < .001). Significant differences between the 2 IOLs in the defocus curves were reported. CONCLUSIONS In this small pilot study, bilateral implantation of Mini WELL IOL and Mini WELL PROXA IOL achieved good quantity and quality of vision.

Abstract
Background Enhanced depth-of- focus intraocular lenses (EDOF IOL) have filled the gap between monofocal and multifocal intraocular implants with optical qualities of monofocal lenses and usually minor dysphotopsias typical for multifocal lenses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate visual outcomes after bilateral implantation of a new EDOF IOL in patients with requirements for perfect near and intermediate vision. Methods The study included 15 patients (29 eyes as one was amblyopic) with bilateral implantation of LUXSMART EDOF IOL (Bausch & Lomb) with a targeted myopia (between -0.25 and -0.50D) in both eyes. Monocular corrected and uncorrected visual acuity for far, intermediate and near as well as refractive outcomes were evaluated at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the surgery. Additionally, binocular visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and defocus curve were measured at the final follow-up visit. At 12 months' visit patients completed a questionnaire evaluating patient satisfaction, spectacle independence and presence of dysphotopsias. Results Binocular uncorrected visual acuities at 12 month's visit were 0.13 ± 0.16, 0.06 ± 0.08, 0.07 ± 0.09 and 0.15 ± 0.09 logMAR for far distance, 80 cm, 66 cm and 40 cm respectively. Corrected binocular visual acuities at 12 months were 0.00 ± 0.00, 0.05 ± 0.07, 0.05 ± 0.06, 0.13 ± 0.16 respectively for distance, 80 cm, 66 cm and 40 cm. Automated refraction spherical equivalent at 12 months' visit stood at -0.70 ± 0.48D, which was 0.46D less than calculated biometric target, however spherical equivalent of subjective refraction at 12 months equaled -0.49 ± 0.46D, which was closer to preoperative biometric target. Defocus curve had gentle shape without peaks typical for monofocal IOLs. Binocular contrast sensitivity results were superior to average results for that age group and equaled 1.78 ± 0.16 logMAR without correction and 1.81 ± 0.13 logMAR with correction. Spectacle independence for near and intermediate distances was achieved in all patients and for far distance in 73.3% of patients. Burdensome dysphotopsias were not reported in any case. Conclusions EDOF IOLs targeted bilaterally at low myopia can provide excellent near and intermediate visual acuity and independence of any optical correction in majority of cases. This approach can be used in selected patients who are focused on stationary activities.

Visual and patient-reported outcomes of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens in highly myopic eyes: a prospective multicenter study. EYE AND VISION (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2023; 10:19. [PMID: 37020245 PMCID: PMC10077756 DOI: 10.1186/s40662-023-00336-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the visual and patient-reported outcomes of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in highly myopic eyes. METHODS Patients with planned cataract removal by phacoemulsification and implantation of a trifocal IOL (AT LISA tri 839MP) were enrolled in the prospective, multicenter cohort study. Patients were allocated into three groups according to their axial length (AL): control group, AL < 26 mm; high myopia group, AL 26-28 mm; extreme myopia group, AL ≥ 28 mm. At 3 months post-surgery, data for 456 eyes of 456 patients were collected, including visual acuity, defocus curve, contrast sensitivity (CS), visual quality, spectacle independence, and overall satisfaction. RESULTS After surgery, the uncorrected distance visual acuity improved from 0.59 ± 0.41 to 0.06 ± 0.12 logMAR (P < 0.001). In all three groups, about 60% of eyes achieved uncorrected near and intermediate visual acuity of 0.10 logMAR or better, but significantly fewer eyes in the extreme myopia group achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity of 0.10 logMAR or better (P < 0.05). Defocus curves revealed that the visual acuity was significantly worse in the extreme myopia group than others at 0.00, - 0.50, and - 2.00 diopters (P < 0.05). CS did not differ between the control and high myopia groups but was significantly lower in the extreme myopia group at 3 cycles per degree. The extreme myopia group also had greater higher-order aberrations and coma, lower modulation transfer functions and VF-14 scores, more glare and halos, worse spectacle independence at far distance, and consequently lower patient satisfaction than others (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In eyes with a high degree of myopia (AL < 28 mm), trifocal IOLs have been shown to provide similar visual outcomes to those in non-myopic eyes. However, in extremely myopic eyes, acceptable results may be obtained with trifocal IOLs, but a reduced level of uncorrected distance vision is expected.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study was performed to compare the optical performance of a multizonal presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (IOL) and a conventional trifocal model. METHODS The optical quality and simulated visual acuity (VA) of 570 Precizon Presbyopic NVA (OPHTEC BV) and AcrySof IQ PanOptix (Alcon) were compared. The Precizon features a refractive design consisting of alternating optical zones that converge the incident light into two principal foci and a transitional zone for intermediate vision. By contrast, the PanOptix applies a diffractive (non-apodized) profile to achieve trifocality. Simulated VA was derived from the modulation transfer function. Chromatic aberration effects were also studied. RESULTS The diffractive and multizonal-refractive lenses yielded comparable simulated VAs at far focus (0.00 logMAR). All curves showed a reduction in expected VA with an increase in negative defocus. At - 1.0 D, the multizonal-refractive IOL's VA dropped by 0.05 logMAR, but for the diffractive model, it was one line (0.11 logMAR). The multizonal-refractive lens's VA prediction at the secondary peak was 0.03 logMAR-minimally better than the 0.06 logMAR of the diffractive lens at - 2.5 D. The refractive lens exhibited a 24% decrease in polychromatic optical quality due to material dispersion. The performance of PanOptix was more substantially affected, showing a 44% loss at 50 lp/mm at far, with minimal effects at other distances. CONCLUSION The multizonal-refractive lens does not fall short of the established trifocal IOL, and it can be used to extend the visual range of pseudophakic patients. Although the multizonal-refractive lens has lower material dispersion, the diffractive model corrects chromatism beyond far focus.

Abstract
The term STODS (Surgical Temporary Ocular Discomfort Syndrome) has been coined to describe the ocular surface perturbations induced by surgery. As one of the most important refractive elements of the eye, Guided Ocular Surface and Lid Disease (GOLD) optimization is fundamental to success in achieving refractive outcomes and mitigating STODS. Effective GOLD optimization and the prevention/treatment of STODS requires an understanding of the molecular, cellular, and anatomic factors that influence ocular surface microenvironment and the associated perturbations induced by surgical intervention. By reviewing the current understanding of STODS etiologies, we will attempt to outline a rationale for a tailored GOLD optimization depending on the ocular surgical insult. With a bench-to-bedside approach, we will highlight clinical examples of effective GOLD perioperative optimization that can mitigate STODS' deleterious effect on preoperative imaging and postoperative healing.

Abstract
94 million people are blind or visually impaired globally, and cataract is the most common cause of blindness worldwide. However, most cases of blindness are avoidable. Cataract is associated with decreased quality of life and reduced life expectancy. Most cases of cataract occur after birth and share ageing and oxidative stress as primary causes, although several non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors can accelerate cataract formation. In most patients, phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation is the preferred treatment and is highly cost-effective. There has been an increase in the use of comprehensive cataract surgical services, including diagnoses, treatment referrals, and rehabilitation. However, global inequity in surgical service quality is still a limitation. Implementation of preoperative risk assessment, risk reduction strategies, and new surgical technologies have made cataract surgery possible at an earlier stage of cataract severity with the expectation of good refractive outcomes. The main challenge is making the service that is currently available to some patients accessible to all by use of universal health coverage.

Abstract
Purpose: Regression of the refractive outcome is a major concern of LASIK procedures mainly in presbyopic patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy of the pharmacological treatment of presbyopia performed with Benozzi's method, in combination with hyperopic LASIK surgery in presbyopic population. Methods: A nonrandomized case series was developed, including presbyopic patients who underwent bilateral "Hyperopic LASIK surgery" and were pharmacologically treated with Benozzi's Method from January 2011 to August 2018, with at least 2 years of follow-up, at two private ophthalmological clinics of Argentina. Main outcomes were spherical equivalent (SE), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA). Measurements were evaluated at baseline and postoperative at 1 month (without Benozzi's treatment), 2 months (starting with Benozzi's treatment), and 2 years. The SE stability across the time was statistically compared. Results: A total of 84 eyes of 42 patients, with a mean age at the time of the surgery of 51.07 ± 4.5 (42-59), were found following 2 years of follow-up. Patients have improved and maintained UDVA, achieving Jaeger 1 in the second postoperative month, which was maintained up to the last year of follow-up. Refractive stability across the time is observed comparing first month after surgery with the last year of follow-up, without statistical significant difference (p: 0.11). Conclusion: Hyperopic presbyopic patients that underwent LASIK surgery and 1 month after surgery started with the pharmacological treatment of presbyopia (Benozzi's method) results in excellent UNVA and UDVA that is stable over time without refractive regression.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the depth of focus of four latest non-diffractive extended range of vision IOLs on the optical bench. Such comparison had not been done before. METHODS We assessed and compared the through focus modulation transfer function (MTF) of the following novel IOLs with a nominal power of 22 D: Acrysof Vivity, LuxSmart Crystal, RayOne EMV and Tecnis Eyhance. An ISO-2 model eye was applied with apertures of 3 and 4.5 mm with monochromatic light of 546 nm. Measurements were done on OptiSpheric IOL PRO 2 optical bench. RESULTS For the aperture of 3 mm, Eyhance and RayOne EMV showed the most pronounced peak in MTF with only little enlarged depth of power. Vivity and LuxSmart showed two peaks of about 1.7 D respectively 1.3 D depth of focus, yet reduced MTF and with maxima differently located. For 4.5 mm, MTF values for Eyhance and particularly for RayOne EMV dropped. For Vivity and LuxSmart, only the peak for the secondary focus decreased. CONCLUSION Vivity and LuxSmart showed a larger depth of focus for our measuring conditions than Eyhance and RayOne EMV. Correspondingly, the peak MTF was best for Eyhance and RayOne ERV with small aperture. With the larger aperture, RayOne EMV considerably lost performance.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been an overwhelming influx of different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) as treatment for presbyopia. The extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) technology creates a single elongated focal point to enhance depth of focus, in contrast to the multiple foci of multifocal (MF) lenses. In this way, the EDOF lenses aim to reduce photic phenomena, glare, and halos, which have been reported in MF IOLs. A potential disadvantage of this is a blur due to decreased retinal image quality when the amount of the aberrations is increased excessively. Multifocality and EDOF characteristics are not exclusive of each other. Frequently, EDOF IOLs are combined with MF optical designs, a bifocal IOL may exhibit EDOF characteristics, likewise an aspheric monofocal IOL or a diffractive or refractive trifocal IOL. Thus, EDOF lenses are commonly subjected to confusion. A wide range of different types of EDOF lenses are available on the market to surgeons. In this practical update, we aim to clarify what is a true EDOF lens, classify the different types of the EDOF lenses based on their optical principle and review their recently reported outcomes. Comprehensive patient examination and selection, combined with knowledge of the most updated options and adequate patient counseling, can avoid dissatisfaction and yield the desired outcomes.
