Abstract
Purpose To analyze the refractive and visual outcomes following cataract surgery and implantation of a new hydrophobic trifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) in Japanese eyes with different degrees of corneal astigmatism. Methods A total of 66 eyes from 39 patients implanted with a FineVision HP Toric IOL (Beaver-Visitec International Inc) were analyzed retrospectively. The main outcome measures considered were refraction, monocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) at 80 and 66 cm, uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) and distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) at 40 cm. Eyes were evaluated at three months post-surgery. Results Sixty-five eyes (98.48%) were within ±0.50D of spherical equivalent, and all were within ±1.00D (mean: 0.00±0.21D). Moreover, 63 eyes (95.45%) had ≤0.50D of residual astigmatism, and all had ≤1.00D (mean: -0.08±0.23D). Similarly, 58 (87.88%) and 60 eyes (90.91%) had ≥20/20 UDVA and CDVA, respectively, with 65 (98.48%) and 66 eyes (100%) achieving ≥20/25 UDVA and CDVA, respectively. In addition, 28 (42.42%) and 23 eyes (34.85%) had ≥20/25 DCIVA at 80 and 66 cm, respectively, with 49 (74.24%) and 52 eyes (78.79%) achieving ≥20/32 DCIVA at 80 and 66 cm, respectively. Finally, 39 (59.09%) and 40 eyes (60.61%) had ≥20/20 UNVA and DCNVA, respectively, with 58 (87.88%) and 59 eyes (89.39%) achieving ≥20/25 UNVA and DCNVA, respectively. Conclusion Our study shows that implantation of the new hydrophobic FineVision HP Toric IOL results in accurate refractive outcomes, with good visual acuity at different distances, in Japanese eyes.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the refractive and visual outcomes at different distances following cataract surgery with implantation of an omnidirectional aberration-free diffractive trifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL). Methods A total of 24 patients who underwent bilateral implantation with the TrivaT-aAY IOL were analyzed at 3-4 months post-surgery. Refractive error, monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected-distance visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA), uncorrected and corrected-distance intermediate visual acuity (UIVA, CDIVA) at 60 cm, uncorrected and corrected-distance near visual acuity (UNVA, CDNVA) at 40 cm, monocular and binocular defocus curve and rotational stability were measured. Patients also completed the Catquest-9SF questionnaire at the last postoperative visit. Results The postoperative mean values of binocular logMAR CDVA, CDIVA and CDNVA were -0.06±0.06, 0.05±0.07 and 0.07±0.08, respectively. One hundred percent of patients showed a cumulative binocular CDVA ≥20/25, and 95.83% of patients showed a cumulative binocular CDIVA and CDNVA ≥20/32. The mean postoperative spherical equivalent was 0.07±0.26D and 100% and 97.92% eyes were within ±1.00D and ±0.50D, respectively. The mean postoperative refractive cylinder was -0.22±0.29D and 100% and 89.58% eyes showed a value ≤1.00D and ≤0.50D, respectively. The defocus curves showed a wide range of useful vision, with visual acuity values >0.2 logMAR. Mean absolute IOL rotation was 2.19±2.17 degrees and all eyes had a rotation <10 degrees. For the questionnaire, 95.83% of patients reported being quite satisfied to very satisfied with their vision and about 79.17% did not report any difficulty with their vision in their everyday life. Between 83.33% and 95.83% of patients reported no difficulty performing different tasks. No intra- and postoperative complications were reported during the follow-up. Conclusion Our study shows that the TrivaT-aAY IOL provides good visual acuities at all distances and refractive outcomes with excellent rotational stability and with high satisfaction among our patients after its implantation.

Abstract
Purpose To report the refractive and visual outcomes after implantation of a trifocal, diffractive, hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) in Japanese eyes following cataract surgery. Methods A total of 45 eyes implanted with FineVision HP IOLs (Beaver-Visitec International, Inc. USA) were enrolled in this retrospective study. The clinical outcomes assessed after 3-months were refraction and monocular logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR) uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA) at 80 and 66 cm, uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), and distance-corrected near visual acuity (DCNVA) at 40 cm. Results 97.78% of the eyes were within ±0.50D of spherical equivalent and all of them were within ±1.00D (mean: -0.00±0.22 D, with 75.56% within ±0.13D), while 91.11% of the eyes had ≤0.50D residual astigmatism and all of them had ≤1.00D (mean: -0.08±0.24D, with 88.89% ≤0.25D). UDVA and CDVA showed mean values of -0.05±0.07 logMAR and -0.07±0.06 logMAR, respectively. 86.67% and 95.56% of the eyes had ≥20/20 UDVA and CDVA, respectively, with 100% achieving ≥20/25 for both UDVA and CDVA. At 80 cm, the mean monocular logMAR UIVA and DCIVA were 0.18±0.14 and 0.14±0.14, and at 66 cm the values were 0.20±0.15 and 0.19±0.15, respectively. At 80 cm 20% of the eyes had ≥20/25 DCIVA and 60% had ≥20/32 DCIVA. These values changed to 15.56% and 40% of the eyes at 66 cm. In terms of near vision, the mean monocular logMAR UNVA and DCNVA were 0.04±0.10 and 0.03±0.10, respectively. 53.33% of the eyes had ≥20/20 UNVA and DCNVA, with 86.67% achieving ≥20/25 UNVA and DCNVA. Conclusion The FineVision HP trifocal diffractive IOL provided accurate refractive outcomes with good visual acuity at different distances in Japanese eyes.

Abstract
Purpose To assess refractive and visual outcomes post-cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of a bi-aspheric diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). Methods A total of 24 patients who underwent bilateral implantation with the Asqelio Trifocal IOL TFLIO130C were evaluated at the 6 months postoperative mark. Key outcome measures included refractive error, photopic monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA), uncorrected and corrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA, CDIVA) at 60 cm, and uncorrected and corrected near visual acuity (UNVA, CDNVA) at 40 cm. Additionally, monocular and binocular CDNVA were assessed under mesopic conditions. Monocular and binocular defocus curves, and binocular contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions, with and without glare, were measured. Catquest-9SF and visual symptoms questionnaires were also administered. Results Postoperative average values of binocular logMAR photopic CDVA, photopic CDIVA, photopic CDNVA and mesopic CDNVA were -0.01±0.06, 0.03±0.09, 0.02±0.05 and 0.19±0.13, respectively. About 100% of patients showed cumulative CDVA and CDNVA ≥20/25, and CDIVA ≥20/32. The average absolute depth-of-focus was about 4.50D. The average postoperative spherical equivalent was 0.05±0.30D and 100% and 93.75% eyes were within ±1.00D and ±0.50D, respectively. Contrast sensitivity was either within or above normal levels under both photopic and mesopic conditions, both with and without glare, except for 12 cpd under mesopic conditions with glare where the mean falls just below the normal range. Questionnaires revealed that 87.5% of patients were either satisfied or very satisfied with their vision after the surgery, and higher percentages for no difficulty in performing different activities, ranging from 70.83% to 95.83%, were reported. Conclusion This study demonstrates that the bi-aspheric diffractive trifocal IOL yields very good visual performance across distances, fostering high satisfaction levels and minimal difficulties in daily activities.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate intermediate and long-term visual outcomes and safety of a phakic intraocular posterior chamber lens with a central hole (ICL V4c) for myopic eyes. METHODS Retrospective, consecutive case study of patients that uneventfully received a ICL V4c for myopia correction, with a 5-year postoperative follow-up. Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. RESULTS From 241 eyes that underwent ICL implantation, we included 45 eyes with a mean age at surgery of 33 years ± 6 (18-48 years), with a 5 years follow-up. CDVA improved from 0.05logMAR ± 0.15 CDVA preoperatively to - 0.00 ± 0,07 at 5 years and did not change significantly from 3 to 5 years' time (p = 0.266). The mean spherical equivalent (SE) improved from -10.13D ± 3.39 to - 0.45D ± 0.69. The change in endothelial cell count showed a mean decrease of 1.9% per year throughout the follow-up. Safety and efficacy index were 1.16 and 0.78, respectively. Cataract formation was seen in 2 of 241 eyes (0.8%), but in none of the 45 eyes that finished the 5-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Our data show a good intermediate and long-term stability, efficiency, and safety of ICL V4c phakic lenses in myopic eyes comparable to other known literature.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze and report the long-term outcomes in terms of efficacy and safety of eyes implanted with the spherical version of a foldable iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) for the correction of myopia. METHODS Retrospective analysis of the results of 56 eyes of 32 patients (age, 19-45 years) who underwent implantation of the spherical model of the Artiflex pIOL (Ophtec B.V., Groningen, The Netherlands) for the correction of myopia. Visual, refractive, biometric, intraocular pressure (IOP) and corneal endothelial changes were evaluated during a long-term follow-up: 2, 7, 10 and 12 years for more than 50, 30, 20 and 10 eyes, respectively. RESULTS At 4 weeks postoperatively, a significant reduction of manifest sphere and spherical equivalent (SE), with a significant improvement of uncorrected distance visual acuity were found (all p < 0.001). No significant changes were found during the rest of follow-up in sphere (p ≥ 0.072). The percentage of eyes with SE within ± 1.00 D was over 83% during the whole follow-up. A non-significant trend to IOP increase was observed at 4 weeks postoperatively (p = 0.530), with a significant reduction at 1 year after (p = 0.039) and no significant changes during the rest of follow-up (p = 0.180). There was a significant reduction of anterior chamber depth at 4 weeks after surgery (p < 0.001), with no significant changes during the following 9 years of follow-up (p = 0.118). However, an additional significant decrease of this parameter was observed between 10 and 13 years after surgery (p = 0.027). Mean endothelial cell loss changed from 2.01 ± 4.49% at 4 weeks after surgery to 9.11 ± 2.24% at the end of the follow-up. No complications were reported during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Myopia correction with the Artiflex pIOL is an effective and safe procedure in the long term.

Purpose To evaluate the refractive and visual outcomes following cataract surgery and implantation of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a 7.0 mm optical zone. Methods A total of 23 patients who underwent bilateral implantation with the Triva-aXAY IOL were analyzed at 6 months post-surgery. The main outcome measures were refractive error, monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected-distance visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA), uncorrected and corrected-distance intermediate visual acuity (UIVA, CDIVA) at 60 cm, uncorrected and corrected-distance near visual acuity (UNVA, CDNVA) at 40 cm, and binocular defocus curve. Patients also completed the Catquest-9SF questionnaire. Results All eyes were within ±1.00D, and 91.30% of eyes within ±0.50D, with a mean postoperative spherical equivalent of -0.14±0.29D. Similarly, 95.65% of patients showed a binocular UDVA ≥20/25, compared to 100% for CDVA, and the mean binocular UDVA and CDVA were 0.02±0.06 and 0.00±0.05 logMAR, respectively. At intermediate vision, 65.22% of patients showed a binocular UIVA ≥20/25, compared to 86.96% for CDIVA, and the mean binocular UIVA and CDIVA were 0.07±0.06 and 0.06±0.06 logMAR, respectively. At near, 95.65% of patients showed a binocular UNVA and CDNVA ≥20/25, with a mean binocular UDNVA and CDNVA of 0.04±0.07 and 0.02±0.05 logMAR, respectively. Finally, 95.65% of patients reported being quite satisfied to very satisfied with their vision and about 74% did not report any difficulty with their vision in their everyday life. Between 65.22% and 100% of patients reported no difficulty performing different tasks. Conclusion Our study shows good visual and refractive outcomes with high satisfaction in patients implanted with the Triva-aXAY IOL with a 7.0 mm optical zone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world and, as such, cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed operations globally. Surgical techniques have changed dramatically over the past half century with associated improvements in outcomes and safety. Femtosecond lasers can be used to perform the key steps in cataract surgery, such as corneal incisions, lens capsulotomy and fragmentation. The potential advantage of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) is greater precision and reproducibility of these steps compared to manual techniques. The disadvantages are the costs associated with FLACS technology. OBJECTIVES To compare the effectiveness and safety of FLACS with standard ultrasound phacoemulsification cataract surgery (PCS) by gathering evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs). SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Trials Register; 2022, Issue 5); Ovid MEDLINE; Ovid Embase; LILACS; the ISRCTN registry; ClinicalTrials.gov; the WHO ICTRP and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website. We did not use any date or language restrictions in the electronic searches for trials. We last searched the electronic databases on 10 May 2022. SELECTION CRITERIA We included RCTs where FLACS was compared to PCS. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Three review authors independently screened the search results, assessed risk of bias and extracted data using the standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane. The primary outcome for this review was intraoperative complications in the operated eye, namely anterior capsule, and posterior capsule tears. The secondary outcomes included corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), quality of vision (as measured by any validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM)), postoperative cystoid macular oedema complications, endothelial cell loss and cost-effectiveness. We assessed the certainty of the evidence using GRADE. MAIN RESULTS We included 42 RCTs conducted in Europe, North America, South America and Asia, which enrolled a total of 7298 eyes of 5831 adult participants. Overall, the studies were at unclear or high risk of bias. In 16 studies the authors reported financial links with the manufacturer of the laser platform evaluated in their studies. Thirteen of the studies were within-person (paired-eye) studies with one eye allocated to one procedure and the other eye allocated to the other procedure. These studies were reported ignoring the paired nature of the data. There was low-certainty evidence of little or no difference in the odds of developing anterior capsular tears when comparing FLACS and PCS (Peto odds ratio (OR) 0.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.40 to 1.72; 5835 eyes, 27 studies) There was one fewer anterior capsule tear per 1000 operations in the FLACS group compared with the PCS group (95% CI 4 fewer to 3 more). There was low-certainty evidence of lower odds of developing posterior capsular tears with FLACS compared to PCS (Peto OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.25 to 1.00; 5767 eyes, 26 studies). There were four fewer posterior capsule tears per 1000 operations in the FLACS group compared with the PCS group (95% CI 6 fewer to same). There was moderate-certainty evidence of a very small advantage for the FLACS arm with regard to CDVA at six months or more follow-up, (mean difference (MD) -0.01 logMAR, 95% CI -0.02 to 0.00; 1323 eyes, 7 studies). This difference is equivalent to 1 logMAR letter between groups and is not thought to be clinically important. From the three studies (1205 participants) reporting a variety of PROMs (Cat-PROMS, EQ-5D, EQ-SD-3L, Catquest9-SF and patient survey) up to three months following surgery, there was moderate-certainty evidence of little or no difference in the various parameters between the two treatment arms. There was low-certainty evidence of little or no difference in the odds of developing cystoid macular oedema when comparing FLACS and PCS (Peto OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.56 to 1.28; 4441 eyes, 18 studies). There were three fewer cystoid macular oedema cases per 1000 operations in the FLACS group compared with the PCS group (95% CI 10 fewer to 6 more). In one study the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) (cost difference divided by quality-adjusted life year (QALY) difference) was GBP £167,620 when comparing FLACS to PCS. In another study, the ICER was EUR €10,703 saved per additional patient who had treatment success with PCS compared to FLACS. Duration ranged from three minutes in favour of FLACS to eight minutes in favour of PCS (I2 = 100%, 11 studies) (low-certainty evidence). There was low-certainty evidence of little or no important difference in endothelial cell loss when comparing FLACS with PCS (MD 12 cells per mm2 in favour of FLACS, 95% CI -40 to 64; 1512 eyes, 10 studies). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: This review of 42 studies provides evidence that there is probably little or no difference between FLACS and PCS in terms of intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative visual acuity and quality of life. Evidence from two studies suggests that FLACS may be the less cost-effective option. Many of the included studies only investigated very specific outcome measures such as effective phacoemulsification time, endothelial cell count change or aqueous flare, rather than those directly related to patient outcomes. Standardised reporting of complications and visual and refractive outcomes for cataract surgery would facilitate future synthesis, and guidance on this has been recently published.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standardization for reporting medical outcomes enables clinical study comparisons and has a fundamental role in research reproducibility. In this context, we present mEYEstro, a free novel standalone application for automated standardized refractive surgery graphs. mEYEstro can be used for single and multiple group comparisons in corneal and intraocular refractive surgery patients. In less than 30 s and with minimal user manipulation, mEYEstro automatically creates the required journal standard graphs while simultaneously performing valid statistical analyses. RESULTS The software produces the following 11 standard graphs; Efficacy: 1. Cumulative uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected visual acuity (CDVA), 2. Difference between UDVA and CDVA, Safety: 3. Change in line of CDVA, Accuracy: 4. Spherical equivalent (SEQ) to intended target, 5. Attempted vs. achieved SEQ, 6. Defocus equivalent (DEQ) accuracy, 7. Refractive astigmatism accuracy, 8. Target-induced astigmatism vs. Surgically-induced astigmatism, 9. Correction index histogram, 10. Angle of error histogram, Stability: 11. SEQ stability over time. Percent proportions, means, standard deviations, Cohen's d effect sizes, and p-values are calculated and displayed on each graph. All graphs can be easily exported as high-resolution TIFF images for figures to use in scientific manuscripts and presentations. CONCLUSIONS mEYEstro software enables clinicians, surgeons, and researchers, to easily and efficiently analyze refractive surgery outcomes using the standardized methodology required by several peer-reviewed ophthalmology journals.

Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep 2022; 29:101792. [PMID: 36632337 PMCID: PMC9826872 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajoc.2022.101792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Implantation of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs) has not been advised for glaucomatous eyes because of the risk of decreased contrast sensitivity with progress of glaucoma. Extended depth-of-focus (EDF) IOLs have been reported to provide comparable postoperative visual function and influence on the visual field to monofocal IOLs. Methods This case series was a retrospective medical record review of 16 eyes of 10 patients who had normal tension glaucoma (NTG) with no central visual field defects and underwent cataract surgery with implantation of diffractive EDF IOLs. At 3 months postoperatively, distance-corrected visual acuities (DCVAs) at distances of 5, 1, and 0.5 m and photopic contrast sensitivity were examined. Automated perimetry using the 30-2 Swedish interactive threshold algorithm was also performed, and the mean variance (MD) values, mean deviation values at the central four points (central MD), and foveal threshold were recorded. Results The mean age of the patients (5 men, 5 women) was 66.5 years. Over 80% of eyes obtained DCVAs of 20/20, 20/20, and 20/25 at 5 m, 1 m, and 0.5 m, respectively. Whereas 5 of 16 eyes were categorized as severe by the Hodapp-Parrish-Anderson classification, postoperative contrast sensitivity was within the normal range, except for 4 eyes at 18 cycles per degree. Conclusions and importance In this case series, the postoperative visual functions of NTG patients with EDF IOLs were almost comparable to those of normal eyes with the same IOLs, which demonstrated that the use of EDF IOLs for controlled NTG eyes would be permissible. While careful patient selection and follow-up for NTG progress are important, further investigations are necessary for confirming the safety and exploring the selection criteria.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety, predictability, and stability of a foldable anterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) (Artiflex) implantation in eyes with more than 10 years of follow-up. SETTING Instituto de Microcirugía Ocular, Barcelona, Spain. DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Patients who underwent Artiflex pIOL implantation during 2008 to 2011 and with more than 10 years of follow-up were included. Variables analyzed were as follows: uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction, spherical equivalent (SE), endothelial cell count (ECC), and intraocular pressure (IOP) preoperatively and at 1 month, 1 year, 5 years, and the final follow-up. Descriptive statistics were performed and results reported following the Standard for Reporting Refractive Surgery Outcomes. RESULTS 76 eyes (40 patients) were analyzed, and the mean follow-up was 10.67 ± 0.64 years. The mean preoperative SE was -8.26 ± 2.47 diopters (D), and the mean preoperative cylinder was -0.95 ± 0.86 D. At the final follow-up, efficacy and safety indices were 0.82 and 1.11, respectively. In total, 58 eyes (76%) achieved a UDVA of ≥20/40. 30 eyes (39%) gained ≥1 line of CDVA, and no eye lost ≥2 lines of CDVA. At the final follow-up, 46 (61%) and 58 (76%) eyes were within ±0.50 D and ±1.00 D of attempted SE correction, respectively. 72 eyes (95%) had ≤1.00 D of postoperative astigmatism, and 46 eyes (61%) were within ±15 degrees from the intended correction axis. At the last visit, a statistically significant myopic progression of -0.56 ± 0.83 D was observed ( P = .01). The mean ECC loss at the final follow-up was 12.2 ± 12.5%. IOP remained stable. Two eyes (2.63%) developed cataract after 10.3 years. CONCLUSIONS Long-term results demonstrated that Artiflex pIOL implantation was effective, predictable, stable, and safe.

Abstract
The current investigation evaluates the efficiency of the trifocal toric Liberty 677MTY intraocular lens (IOL) in correcting preoperative corneal astigmatism in cataract patients demanding spectacle independence. The retrospective evaluation included 28 eyes of 15 patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism of at least 1.0 Dioptre (D). All patients were followed up for one year postoperatively. Residual refractive errors and visual acuities at multiple distances were measured. Binocular visual acuity and contrast sensitivity defocus curves were plotted. Visual functions and patient satisfaction were assessed. The efficiency of astigmatism correction was determined using the vector analysis method. The mean spherical equivalent refraction (SEQ) improved from 2.72 ± 1.62 D to 0.10 ± 0.48 D. The cylindric refraction decreased from 1.18 ± 0.45 D to 0.16 ± 0.31 D. Vector analysis proved efficient astigmatism correction with a centroid of 0.10 ± 0.34 D at 161°. Ninety-two percent of eyes resulted within 0.5 D from the target refraction. Visual acuities were 0.1 logMAR or better from +1.0 to −3.5 D defocus values. Visual tasks could be performed without major difficulties. Our patients were highly satisfied. Refractive and visual outcomes with the investigated presbyopia-correcting toric IOL are predictable and the lens provides excellent trifocal vision.

Abstract
PURPOSE Validating a new nomogram for low to moderate astigmatism (0.75 D to 2.5 D) correction with epithelium- and Bowman-penetrating femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate incisions. METHODOLOGY Prospective, interventional case series at the Augen- und Laserklinik, Castrop-Rauxel, Germany. Cataract patients with low to moderate corneal astigmatism were treated with femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate incisions. Patients with previous refractive corneal treatment were excluded. Outcome assessment was based on manifest refraction, astigmatic vector analysis and visual acuity. RESULTS The study analysed 43 eyes of 33 patients after three months and 35 eyes of 27 patients after 12 months. After 12 months, 100% of all eyes treated had ≤1.0 D and 97% ≤0.5 D of subjective residual astigmatism. Mean residual astigmatism was 0.27 D. 90% of all eyes were within one line of difference between UDVA and CDVA. SEQ Mean Absolute Error was 0.26 D and SEQ. Mean error was -0.08 ± 0.32 D. CI was 0.98 ± 0.2 D, and Index of Success, 0.20 ± 0.18 D. CONCLUSION The Castrop nomogram showed results that are comparable to or better than results presented in the literature for existing nomograms. Our results for astigmatic reduction are comparable to published results for TIOL implantation. It seems to be a predictable and safe measure to reduce manifest astigmatism.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the 1-year outcomes of a randomized trial comparing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and phacoemulsification cataract surgery (PCS). SETTING Moorfields Eye Hospital, New Cross Hospital, and Sussex Eye Hospital, United Kingdom. DESIGN Multicenter, randomized controlled noninferiority trial. METHODS Patients undergoing cataract surgery were randomized to FLACS or PCS. Postoperative assessments were masked. Outcomes included uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), complications, corneal endothelial cell count, and patient-reported outcomes measures. RESULTS The study enrolled 785 participants. A total of 311 of 392 (79%) participants were allocated to FLACS and 292 of 393 (74%) participants were allocated to PCS attended follow-up at 1 year. Mean UDVA was 0.14 (SD = 0.22) for FLACS and 0.17 (0.25) for PCS with difference of -0.03 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (95%, -0.06 to 0.01, P = .17). Mean CDVA was 0.003 (0.18) for FLACS and 0.03 (0.23) for PCS with difference of -0.03 logMAR (95% CI, -0.06 to 0.01, P = .11); 75% of both FLACS (230/307) and PCS (218/290) cases were within ±0.5 diopters (D) refractive target, and 292 (95%) of 307 eyes of FLACS and 279 (96%) of 290 eyes of PCS groups were within ±1.0 D. There were no significant differences between arms for all other outcomes with the exception of binocular CDVA mean difference -0.02 (-0.05 to 0.002) logMAR (P = .036) favoring FLACS. Mean cost difference was £167.62 per patient greater for FLACS (95% iterations between -£14.12 and £341.67). CONCLUSIONS PCS is not inferior to FLACS regarding vision, patient-reported health, and safety outcomes after 1-year follow-up. A difference was found for binocular CDVA, which, although statistically significant, was not clinically important. FLACS was not cost-effective.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes including patient-reported outcome measures in a sample of eyes undergoing bilateral cataract surgery with implantation of a new model of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS This non-randomized prospective case series enrolled 206 eyes of 103 patients undergoing phacoemulsification cataract surgery with bilateral implantation of the TECNIS Synergy IOL (Johnson & Johnson Vision). High and low contrast visual acuity, refractive, defocus curve, and patient-reported visual performance (Catquest-9SF questionnaire) outcomes were evaluated during a 3-month follow-up. RESULTS A total of 96.1% (99 of 103) and 91.3% (94 of 103) of patients achieved binocular postoperative uncorrected distance (UDVA) and near visual acuity (UNVA) of 0.00 logMAR (20/20), respectively. Mean postoperative mesopic UNVA for both eyes was 0.14 ± 0.03 logMAR. Likewise, mean binocular UDVA and UNVA were 0.00 ± 0.03 and 0.04 ± 0.02 logMAR. An almost flat mean defocus curve was obtained, with visual acuities between 0.00 and 0.10 logMAR for most defocus levels in both eyes. A reduction of contrast led to a limited but statistically significant change in UNVA in both eyes (P < .001). The Rasch calibrated scoring of item 2 and the Rasch calibrated mean score of the Catquest-9SF questionnaire increased significantly with surgery (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS This new presbyopia-correcting IOL provides a continuous range of functional focus, with a limited deterioration under mesopic conditions, which is perceived as a satisfactory outcome by the patient if proper patient selection is performed.

Abstract
The accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) calculations is suboptimal for long or short eyes, which results in a low visual quality after multifocal IOL implantation. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the accuracy of IOL formulas (Barrett Universal II, SRK/T, Holladay 1, Hoffer Q, and Haigis) for the Acrysof IQ Panoptix TFNT IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc, Fort Worth, Texas, United States) implantation based on the axial length (AXL) from a large cohort of 2018 cases and identify the factors that are associated with a high mean absolute error (MAE). The Barrett Universal II showed the lowest MAE in the normal AXL group (0.30 ± 0.23), whereas the Holladay 1 and Hoffer Q showed the lowest MAE in the short AXL group (0.32 ± 0.22 D and 0.32 ± 0.21 D, respectively). The Haigis showed the lowest MAE in the long AXL group (0.24 ± 0.19 D). The Barrett Universal II did not perform well in short AXL eyes with higher astigmatism (P = 0.013), wider white-to-white (WTW; P < 0.001), and shorter AXL (P = 0.016). Study results suggest that the Barrett Universal II performed best for the TFNT IOL in the overall study population, except for the eyes with short AXL, particularly when the eyes had higher astigmatism, wider WTW, and shorter AXL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the stability, safety, predictability, and efficacy of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in high myopia. METHODS The study was conducted as a retrospective noncomparative analysis of the records of 495 eyes of 270 patients treated by the ReLEx SMILE technique for a mean spherical myopic error of -12.84 ± 2.47 D (range: -10.0 to -14.0 D) combined with a mean astigmatism of -1.17 ± 1.34 D (up to -4.0 D). The mean LogMAR corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 0.2 ± 0.6. In this study, 225 patients had the bilateral SMILE procedure, whereas 45 patients had a single eye treated with SMILE. RESULTS One month after surgery, the mean refractive error was 20.72 ± 0.88 D (range: +1 to 21.5 D), and the mean postoperative astigmatism was -0.83 ± 1.04 D. The mean LogMAR UDVA was 0.2 ± 0.34. In the last follow-up visit, 3 years after surgery, all the before mentioned parameters were the same or within minimal changes with no statistically significant difference from the earlier results. However, the spherical error demonstrated a significant change from -0.72 ± 0.88 D at 1 month to -1.17 ± 1.01 D at the end of the follow-up. However, this change had an insignificant visual impact. At the end of the follow-up period, approximately 94% of patients had unchanged CDVA or gained one or more lines, 6% lost one line of CDVA, and 1% lost 2 lines. CONCLUSIONS SMILE may be effective and safe, with a stable and predictable outcome for correction of very high myopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate keratotomy combined with cataract surgery in eyes with low-to-moderate corneal astigmatism. SETTING Eyes of York Private Practice Ophthalmology Clinic, York, Pennsylvania, USA. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS This retrospective analysis included case records of patients with preexisting corneal astigmatism ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 diopter (D). Study parameters included corneal astigmatism, refractive astigmatism, and uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities. The results, which were analyzed at 3 months postoperatively, included frequency distribution histograms, vector analysis, and single-angle polar plots. RESULTS The study comprised case records of 189 eyes of 143 patients (56 men and 87 women). The postoperative refractive astigmatism was reduced significantly compared with preoperative corneal astigmatism to 0.14 D ± 0.23 (SD) from 0.92 ± 0.34 D (P < .001). One hundred eighty-one eyes (95.8%) demonstrated postoperative refractive astigmatism of 0.5 D or less. The mean surgically induced change along the preoperative steep axis was -0.59 ± 0.56 D, and the change along the orthogonal axis was 0.01 ± 0.35 D. Postoperatively, 171 eyes (90.5%) had astigmatism angle of error of 15 degrees or less. The postoperative mean UDVA and CDVA were 0.09 ± 0.16 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and 0.02 ± 0.05 logMAR, respectively. One hundred seventy eyes (90%) had a postoperative UDVA of 20/30 or better. The results demonstrated stability at 12 months postoperatively. No intraoperative or postoperative arcuate keratotomy-related events were observed. CONCLUSION The results suggest that femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate keratotomy represents a safe and effective method for astigmatism correction at the time of cataract surgery with demonstrated stability of correction for at least 1 year postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cataract surgery is one of the most common operations. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) is a technique that automates a number of operative steps. OBJECTIVES To compare FLACS with phacoemulsification cataract surgery (PCS). DESIGN Multicentre, outcome-masked, randomised controlled non-inferiority trial. SETTING Three collaborating NHS hospitals. PARTICIPANTS A total of 785 patients with age-related cataract in one or both eyes were randomised between May 2015 and September 2017. INTERVENTION FLACS (n = 392 participants) or PCS (n = 393 participants). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was uncorrected distance visual acuity in the study eye after 3 months, expressed as the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR): 0.00 logMAR (or 6/6 if expressed in Snellen) is normal (good visual acuity). Secondary outcomes included corrected distance visual acuity, refractive outcomes (within 0.5 dioptre and 1.0 dioptre of target), safety and patient-reported outcome measures at 3 and 12 months, and resource use. All trial follow-ups were performed by optometrists who were masked to the trial intervention. RESULTS A total of 353 (90%) participants allocated to the FLACS arm and 317 (81%) participants allocated to the PCS arm attended follow-up at 3 months. The mean uncorrected distance visual acuity was similar in both treatment arms [0.13 logMAR, standard deviation 0.23 logMAR, for FLACS, vs. 0.14 logMAR, standard deviation 0.27 logMAR, for PCS, with a difference of -0.01 logMAR (95% confidence interval -0.05 to 0.03 logMAR; p = 0.63)]. The mean corrected distance visual acuity values were again similar in both treatment arms (-0.01 logMAR, standard deviation 0.19 logMAR FLACS vs. 0.01 logMAR, standard deviation 0.21 logMAR PCS; p = 0.34). There were two posterior capsule tears in the PCS arm. There were no significant differences between the treatment arms for any secondary outcome at 3 months. At 12 months, the mean uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.14 logMAR (standard deviation 0.22 logMAR) for FLACS and 0.17 logMAR (standard deviation 0.25 logMAR) for PCS, with a difference between the treatment arms of -0.03 logMAR (95% confidence interval -0.06 to 0.01 logMAR; p = 0.17). The mean corrected distance visual acuity was 0.003 logMAR (standard deviation 0.18 logMAR) for FLACS and 0.03 logMAR (standard deviation 0.23 logMAR) for PCS, with a difference of -0.03 logMAR (95% confidence interval -0.06 to 0.01 logMAR; p = 0.11). There were no significant differences between the arms for any other outcomes, with the exception of the mean binocular corrected distance visual acuity with a difference of -0.02 logMAR (95% confidence interval -0.05 to 0.00 logMAR) (p = 0.036), which favoured FLACS. There were no significant differences between the arms for any health, social care or societal costs. For the economic evaluation, the mean cost difference was £167.62 per patient higher for FLACS (95% of iterations between -£14.12 and £341.67) than for PCS. The mean QALY difference (FLACS minus PCS) was 0.001 (95% of iterations between -0.011 and 0.015), which equates to an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (cost difference divided by QALY difference) of £167,620. LIMITATIONS Although the measurement of outcomes was carried out by optometrists who were masked to the treatment arm, the participants were not masked. CONCLUSIONS The evidence suggests that FLACS is not inferior to PCS in terms of vision after 3 months' follow-up, and there were no significant differences in patient-reported health and safety outcomes after 12 months' follow-up. In addition, the statistically significant difference in binocular corrected distance visual acuity was not clinically significant. FLACS is not cost-effective.

Evaluation of Astigmatism-Correcting Efficiency and Rotational Stability after Cataract Surgery with a Double-Loop Haptic Toric Intraocular Lens: A 1-Year Follow-Up. Biomed Hub 2021; 6:30-41. [PMID: 33791315 PMCID: PMC7991491 DOI: 10.1159/000513894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes, predictability of results, efficiency of astigmatism correction, and rotational stability of the Bi-Flex 677TAY (Medicontur Medical Engineering Ltd., Zsámbék, Hungary) monofocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) designed for cataract patients with astigmatism. METHODS The IOLs were implanted either mono- or binocularly, following routine cataract surgery. Visual and refractive outcomes, as well as off-axis rotation were assessed throughout a 1-year follow-up period. All clinical data for this work were collected retrospectively. Vector analysis based on the Alpins method was performed to assess the efficiency of astigmatism correction. RESULTS No complications or adverse events occurred during surgery or the follow-up period. IOL implantation brought 88% of eyes into the ±0.50 D, and 100% into the ± 1.00 D range compared to the target spherical equivalent refraction, emmetropia. Astigmatism correction brought similar results: 94% of eyes had a residual cylindrical error of not higher than ±0.50 D, and 97% were within ±1.00 D. Vector analysis resulted in a correction index of 0.96 and a difference vector of 0.17. Both refractive and visual outcomes showed long-term stability. During the 12-month follow-up period, no eyes had a rotation of >5°. Absolute rotation after 1 year was 1.42 ± 1.89° (median = 0°), while signed rotation was 1.06 ± 2.12° (median = 0°). CONCLUSION The Bi-Flex 677TAY monofocal toric IOL, designed by Medicontur Medical Engineering Ltd., represents an efficient and safe solution for cataract patients with astigmatism. Clinical and refractive outcomes are predictable, and rotational stability ensures long-term visual comfort.

Abstract
PURPOSE/AIM To assess, following the standards, the results of safety, efficacy and predictability for a trifocal intraocular lens and to evaluate contrast sensitivity and visual acuity defocus curve. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty subjects operated on cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange with a trifocal intraocular lens have been recruited for the study. The monocular uncorrected visual acuity (VA) at far, intermediate (67 cm) and near (40 cm) distances in addition to corrected VA at far and near distances was evaluated at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. Postoperative refraction, binocular contrast sensitivity function (CSF) and binocular defocus curves were also collected at the 3-month follow-up visit. RESULTS Mean uncorrected VA was 0.10, 0.07 and 0.05 logMAR at far, intermediate and near distances. Corrected distance VA at far and near distances was 0.04 and 0.02 logMAR. Ninety percent and 100% achieved a spherical equivalent in ±0.50 D and ±1.00 D, respectively. CSF was above normal range for 12 and 18 cycles per degree (cpd) in all the conditions, inside the normal range in 1.5, 3 and 6 cpd and only decreased below normal range for 1.5 and 3 cpd in mesopic vision without glare. CONCLUSIONS The procedure achieved a safety, efficacy and predictability similar to those reported by previous studies. The CSF was generally enhanced after the procedure in comparison to those reported in non-operated subjects above 60 years old. Previous studies might underestimate the effective distance of the intermediate and near foci.

Abstract
The prospective comparative case series aimed to evaluate the binocular uncorrected visual acuities (BUCVAs) after staged implantations of extended-depth-of-focus intraocular lenses (EDOF IOLs) targeting emmetropia and -0.5 diopter (D). Diffractive EDOF IOLs with an add power of +1.75 D were implanted in the first eyes targeting emmetropia or -0.5 D according to the patients’ preferences, then the targets for the second eyes were determined 1 week or longer after the implantation. IOL powers were determined with the SRK/T formula. Consequently, the subjects were divided into 3 groups: those with emmetropia targeted bilaterally (group EE, 22 patients), those with -0.5 D targeted bilaterally (group MM, 21 patients), and those with monovision of emmetropia and -0.5 D (group EM, 21 patients). Manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), BUCVA from 0.3 to 5 meters, spectacle use, and questionnaire regarding photic symptoms and patient satisfaction were assessed 3 months postoperatively. No significant differences were seen in the mean BUCVAs at any distance (P > 0.23), spectacle use (P = 0.13), or photic symptoms and patient satisfaction (P>0.65). When the EE and MM groups were assigned based on the MRSE, the EE group was better at 5 m (P = 0.005) while the MM group at 0.5 m (P = 0.031). The effect of different targeted refractions was not identified due to insufficient accuracy in the use of the SRK/T power calculation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the visual outcomes, safety, efficacy, and causes of bilensectomy for iris fixated phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs). METHODS This was a two center consecutive retrospective study that included 43 eyes that underwent iris-claw pIOL bilensectomy. Patients with follow up less than 4 months were excluded from the study. Uncorrected, corrected visual acuity (UCVA, CDVA), refractive outcomes, efficacy, safety (number of eyes in which the postoperative CDVA was worse than the preoperative CDVA), endothelial cell density (ECD), causes of bilensectomy, the time between the implantation of the pIOL and bilensectomy, intra and postoperative complications were analyzed. RESULTS There was a statistically significant improvement in UCVA and CDVA after surgery (p = 0.001). The efficacy index was 0.7, four eyes had a postoperative CDVA worse than the preoperative CDVA. The mean spherical equivalent 1 year after bilensectomy was -0.78 ± 1.70 D. There was a statistically significant endothelial cell loss after iris claw lens bilensectomy (p = .003). Cataract development and endothelial cell loss were the only reasons for bilensectomy. The mean time between pIOL implantation and bilensectomy was 12.2 ± 5.5 years. One patient had corneal edema 8 months after surgery and one had a retinal detachment 11 months after surgery. CONCLUSION Bilensectomy was successful in improving UCVA and CDVA with an acceptable refractive outcome. Significant loss of ECD was found after surgery. The results recommend a larger ACD as selection criteria when choosing to implant an Artisan lens, and a close postoperative monitoring of the endothelial cell count.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the visual and refractive outcomes of femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) using Victus platform (Technolas Bausch and Lomb (B&L), Munich, Germany) and conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery (CPCS). METHODS A retrospective study of 100 eyes operated for cataract. FLACS was performed in 50 eyes and CPCS was done in another 50 eyes. Preoperative and 6 months postoperative visual and refractive evaluation (efficacy, safety, predictability, and surgically induced astigmatism) as well as higher-order aberrations were analyzed. Efficacy index which equals post-operative mean of uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) divided by preoperative mean corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was calculated in both groups. Safety index equals post-operative mean of corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) divided by preoperative mean CDVA. RESULTS Logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution (LogMAR), UDVA improved in both groups after surgery (p < 0.05). It was 0.23 ± 0.20 and 0.291 ± 0.311 log MAR in FLACS and CPCS groups respectively. Safety index was 1.777 in FLACS group and 1.744 in CPCS groups showing high degree of safety of both measures. Mean surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) was 0.35 ± 0.67 D and 0.901 ± 0.882 D in FLACS and CPCS groups respectively (p = 0.015). The post-operative comparison between both groups was in favor of CPCS group vs. FLACS group regarding total aberrations (0.563 ± 0.386 vs. 0.91 ± 1.20) (p = 0.03), while low order aberrations were significantly less in FLACS group vs. CPCS group (0.64 + 0.63 vs. 2.07 + 3.15) (p = 0.027). RMS high order aberration was higher in FLACS group vs. CPCS group but of no statistical significance 0.54 ± 0.96 vs. 0.328 ± 0.360 (p = 0.082). CONCLUSION Femtosecond laser -assisted cataract surgery was a safe and precise procedure but enhanced visual outcomes only minimally when compared to conventional cataract surgery in experienced hands. Both FLACS and manual surgeries can achieve a high efficacy, predictability and safety with slight superior outcomes in FLACS.

Abstract
Purpose To identify the sources of error in predictability beyond the effective lens position and to develop two new thick lens equations. Methods Retrospective observational case series with 43 eyes. Information related to the actual lens position, corneal radii measured with specular reflection and Scheimpflug-based technologies, and the characteristics of the implanted lenses (radii and thickness) were used for obtaining the fictitious indexes that better predicted the postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) when the real effective lens position (ELP) was known. These fictitious indexes were used to develop two thick lens equations that were compared with the predictability of SRK/T and Barrett Universal II. Results The SE relative to the intended target was correlated to the difference between real ELP and the value estimated by SRK/T (ΔELP) (r = -0.47, p=0.002), but this only predicted 22% of variability in a linear regression model. The fictitious index for the specular reflection (n k) and Scheimpflug-based devices (n c) were significantly correlated with axial length. Including both indexes fitted to axial length in the prediction model with the ΔELP increased the r-square of the model up to 83% and 39%, respectively. Equations derived from these fictitious indexes reduced the mean SE in comparison to SRK/T and Barrett Universal II. Conclusions The predictability with the trifocal IOL evaluated is not explained by an error in the ELP. An adjustment fitting the fictitious index with the axial length improves the predictability without false estimations of the ELP.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the refractive outcome of 2 different methods of intraocular lens implantation in cases of posterior microphthalmos, primary piggyback IOLs versus secondary iris claw lenses. Methods This study was a retrospective interventional comparative study that included 60 eyes of 30 patients. The included patients had bilateral microphthalmos with high axial hyperopia and had undergone a lens-based surgical procedure for hyperopia correction. The included patients were equally divided into two groups. The first group had undergone refractive lens exchange (RLE) with primary piggyback IOL implantation. The second group undergone RLE with maximum available IOL power implanted followed by a secondary implantation of Artisan iris-fixated IOL (Ophtec B.V., Groningen, the Netherlands). Results The 2 groups were highly comparable to each other regarding the mean age, axial length (AL), manifest refraction (MR), and K readings. Postoperatively, there was a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups regarding the manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups regarding the CDVA. At 36 months, 20% and 73% of the eyes were within ±0.5 D of intended refraction at 36 months in 1ry piggyback and 2ry Artisan groups, respectively. Fifty-three percent and 93% of the eyes were within ±1.0 D of intended refraction at 36 months in 1ry piggyback and 2ry Artisan groups, respectively (p=0.001). Conclusion Secondary procedure with implantation of iris-fixated intraocular lens yielded very good results for treatment of axial hyperopia in cases of posterior microphthalmos. The primary piggyback IOL showed less satisfactory results with cases of under correction and the possible complication of interlenticular opacification. Both groups showed good safety parameters.

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the performance of two diffractive trifocal and one extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS In this 6-month, single-center, prospective, randomized, comparative study, patients undergoing routine cataract surgery were randomized to receive one of two trifocal IOLs (AcrySof IQ PanOptix; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX, or FineVision Micro F; PhysIOL SA, Liège, Belgium) or an EDOF IOL (TECNIS Symfony; Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Abbott Park, IL). There were 20 patients in each group. The primary outcome was binocular and monocular uncorrected distance (UDVA), intermediate (UIVA), and near (UNVA) visual acuity. The secondary outcomes were quality of vision and aberrometry. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between groups in either monocular (P = .717) or binocular (P = .837) UDVA. Monocular and binocular UNVA were statistically and significantly better for both trifocal lenses than for the EDOF IOL (P = .002). The percentage of patients with J2 UNVA was 52.5% monocularly and 70% binocularly for the TECNIS Symfony IOL, 81.5% monocularly and 100% binocularly for the AcrySof IQ PanOptix IOL, and 82.5% monocularly and 95% binocularly for the FineVision Micro F IOL. There was no significant difference in binocular UIVA between groups; VA was better than 0.6 in 55%, 53%, and 35% of patients with the TECNIS Symfony, AcrySof IQ Pan-Optix, and FineVision Micro F IOLs, respectively. Overall, 90% patients achieved spectacle independence. There were no differences in visual symptoms and aberrometry among groups. CONCLUSIONS All three IOLs provided good visual acuity at all distances, a high percentage of spectacle independence, and little or no impact of visual symptoms on the patients' daily functioning. Near vision was statistically better for both trifocal IOLs compared to the EDOF IOL. [J Refract Surg. 2018;34(8):507-514.].

Abstract
Background Standardization for reporting medical outcomes facilitates clinical study comparisons and has a fundamental role on research reproducibility. In this context, we present AstigMATIC, a free standalone application for automated standardized astigmatism vector analyses in corneal and intraocular refractive surgeries. AstigMATIC uses a simple graphical user interface (GUI) and allows the simultaneous display and analysis of astigmatism magnitude and axis. Results The software produces the four following standard graphs according to the standards of the Alpins Method; 1-Target-Induced Astigmatism Vector, 2-Surgically-Induced Astigmatism Vector, 3-Difference Vector and 4-Correction Index. Vector means with X and Y standard deviations are automatically calculated and displayed on the corresponding single-angle vector plots (0 to 180°). Data points are entered into a simplified GUI with no need for command line input. The standard graphs can be easily exported as high-resolution TIFF images for figures to use in production and presentations. Conclusions AstigMATIC software enables the user to easily and efficiently analyze vectorial astigmatism outcomes using the standardized Alpins Method for post-surgical astigmatism. AstigMATIC and the demonstration datasets are available to download from http://www.lasikmd.com/media/astigmatic.

Abstract
Synopsis Transitional toric intraocular lens (IOL) was developed to improve refractive outcomes in cataract surgery. We report refractive, vectorial outcomes, and stability of spherical equivalent over 12 months after implantation of this IOL. Purpose To evaluate visual and refractive outcomes of a transitional conic toric intraocular lens (IOL) (Precizon®) for the correction of corneal astigmatism in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Setting The Ocular Microsurgery Institute (IMO), a private practice in Barcelona, Spain. Design This is a retrospective, non-randomized study. Methods Retrospective chart review of 156 patients with preoperative regular corneal astigmatism >0.75 diopters (D) who underwent consecutive phacoemulsification and Precizon toric IOL implantation between January 2014 and December 2015 was performed. Two groups were divided according to attempted residual refraction: group 1 with emmetropia and group 2 with mild myopia for monovision. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and manifest refraction were analyzed preoperatively and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Results Precizon toric IOL was implanted in 97 eyes of 61 patients. Six months postoperatively, none of the eyes lost any line of CDVA. In all, 98% of the eyes were within ±1.00 D of attempted spherical correction. The mean preoperative keratometric cylinder was 1.92 ± 1.04 D (range 0.75–6.78), and the mean postoperative refractive cylinder was 0.77 ± 0.50 D (range 0–2.25), with 81% of the eyes with ≤1.00 D of residual cylinder. Two IOLs required realignment due to intra-operative positioning error. Eleven eyes required enhancement with corneal refractive surgery. Conclusion Preexisting regular corneal astigmatism was effectively and safely corrected by the implantation of the transitional conic toric IOL in patients undergoing cataract surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To describe the surgical technique and refractive outcomes following clear lens extraction (CLE) in the Effectiveness, in Angle-closure Glaucoma, of Lens Extraction trial. METHODS Review of prospectively collected data from a multicentre, randomised controlled trial comparing CLE and laser peripheral iridotomy. Eligible participants were ≥50 years old and newly diagnosed with (1) primary angle closure (PAC) with intraocular pressure above 30 mm Hg or (2) PAC glaucoma. We report the postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and refractive outcomes at 12 and 36 months postoperatively for those who underwent CLE. RESULTS Of the 419 participants, 208 were randomised to CLE. Mean baseline CDVA was 77.9 (SD 12.4) letters and did not change significantly at 36 months when mean CDVA was 79.9 (SD 10.9) letters. Mean preoperative spherical equivalents were +1.7 (SD 2.3) and +0.08 (SD 0.95) diopters (D) at 36 months. Fifty-nine per cent and 85% eyes were within ±0.5D and ±1.0D of predicted refraction, respectively, at 36 months. CONCLUSIONS Mean CDVA in patients undergoing CLE for angle-closure glaucoma appeared stable over the 3-year study period. Refractive error was significantly reduced with surgery but refractive predictability was suboptimal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER
