Abstract
A 28-year-old nurse had an aberration-free femto-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) performed for her myopia of -6.25 -0.50 × 096 and -6.75 -0.50 × 175 in the right and left eye, respectively. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) preoperatively was 20/16. Preoperatively, there were no abnormalities on Scheimpflug imaging, and a pachymetry of 585 μm was measured in both eyes. Flap thickness was 115 μm. The patient was quite nervous during the surgery. Since the surgery, her uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and CDVA are suboptimal at 20/30 and 20/20 in the right eye, and 20/20 and 20/16 in the left eye. 3 months postoperatively, there is a stable manifest refraction of +0.25 -1.25 × 030 and +0.25 -0.00 × 0. The keratometric astigmatism in the Scheimpflug imaging is 1.2 diopter (D) × 114 and 0.4 D × 78 in the right and left eyes, respectively (FIgures 1 and 2). Thinnest pachymetry is 505 μm and 464 μm in the right and left eye, respectively. Her wavefront analysis shows refraction in a 6 mm zone of -0.99 -1.22 × 32 and -0.91 -0.36 × 136. The cycloplegic refraction is 1.25 -1.00 × 023 and +1.00 -0.25 × 006 (Figures 3 and 4). What is the cause of the suboptimal visual outcome in this case? What would be your treatment strategy to improve visual outcome?

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the accuracy of toric intraocular lens (IOL) alignment between femtosecond laser-assisted capsular marking and digital marking. SETTING Ruhr University Eye Clinic, Bochum, Germany. DESIGN Prospective clinical trial. METHODS In this study, 28 eyes of 23 patients, who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with implantation of a toric IOL, were included. Intraoperatively, both femtosecond laser-assisted capsular marking and digital marking were applied simultaneously and compared in every case. The toric IOL was aligned to the capsular markings. Postoperatively, the axis of the capsular markings and toric IOL alignment was examined. Visual acuity and refractive outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS Both alignment methods were performed without intraoperative complications in all cases. 25 eyes were included in the final analysis. Misalignment was significantly lower with femtosecond laser-assisted capsular marking than with digital marking (1.71 ± 1.25 degrees vs 2.64 ± 1.70 degrees, P = .016). Deviation from the target axis of the toric IOL was 1.62 ± 1.24 degrees 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively. Postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.14 ± 0.13 logMAR, and residual astigmatism was 0.3 ± 0.23 diopter (D) with an astigmatism ≤0.5 D in 93% of eyes. CONCLUSIONS Both methods showed excellent results for the alignment of toric IOLs. However, femtosecond laser-assisted capsular marking was significantly more precise than digital marking and showed good refractive results. In addition, capsular marking offers the possibility to avoid parallax error and evaluating postoperative IOL rotation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare refractive outcomes after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (tPRK) and combined phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK-PRK) procedure using two different excimer laser platforms for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism. METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, we compared the results of two different PRK methods. The first group received a tPRK treatment with the Amaris750 excimer laser (Schwind eye-tech solutions). The second group received a combined PTK-PRK treatment with the MEL90 excimer laser (Carl Zeiss). Only healthy eyes with no previous surgery and a spherical equivalent (SE) of -1 to -8 diopters (D) were included. Preoperative spherical equivalent (SE), age, and sex were matched among the two groups. All treatments were performed by the same surgeon in different clinics. This study was approved by the local Ethics Committee (No. 2022-1980). RESULTS We included 154 eyes of 86 patients in our study. There was no difference in predictability of SE between the two groups. Efficacy and safety indices were equally high in both groups. Similarly, no significant differences were seen in change of higher order aberrations (HOA) between the two groups (p > 0.05). No complications occurred. CONCLUSION Both investigated methods provide safe and effective refractive results. The combination of PTK with PRK may be a suitable option to the already used one-step tPRK for the correction of myopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare 5-year outcomes of toric intraocular lens (tIOL) or peripheral corneal relaxing incision (PCRI) for correction of keratometric astigmatism (KA) between 0.75 and 2.5 diopters (D). METHODS Setting: University Hospital. Design: Randomized clinical trial. Eighty eyes (80 participants) received either tIOL or PCRI. Patients were assessed preoperatively, 1-month, 1, and 5 years. Primary outcomes were uncorrected (UDVA) and best-corrected distance logMAR visual acuity (CDVA). Secondary outcomes were a manifest refractive sphere, refractive astigmatism (Ra), spherical equivalent (SEQ), KA & mean keratometry (KM), and Quality-of-Life Impact of Refractive Correction (QIRC) scores. RESULTS There was no difference between the two groups in UDVA, CDVA, refractive sphere, KM, RA, and SEQ. KA reduced after 1 month in the PCRI group and remained stable until 5 years. From 1 to 5 years, the number of eyes with distance emmetropia (within ±0.13D) changed from 59% (20/34 eyes) to 32% (6/19 eyes) for tIOLs and from 43% (15/36 eyes) to 20% (4/21 eyes) for PCRIs with 32% (6/19 eyes) and 20% (4/21 eyes) showing >0.5D change in SEQ at 5-years respectively. Compared to 1-year, Ra significantly increased at 5 years in both groups with no difference between the groups. Mean overall QIRC scores were not different between the groups (tIOL: 49.88 ± 7.47; PCRI: 52.09 ± 7.02; p = .18). CONCLUSIONS Although there was no difference between the overall visual and vision-related quality of life outcomes between tIOLs and PCRIs, an increase in refractive astigmatism and reduction in distance emmetropia with time was noted in both groups.

Abstract
Objective: To explore and analyze the distribution characteristics of chord μ related parameters, as well as the pupil center's relative position to the coaxial corneal light reflex on the corneal surface, and the influencing factors in young myopia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 761 myopic patients (761 eyes) were collected from March 2021 to December 2021 in the Refractive Surgery Center of Tianjin Eye Hospital, including 388 males and 373 females, with an average age of (24±6) years. The relationship between age, sex, diopter, anterior and posterior corneal surface parameters, and chord μ related parameters was analyzed, including the x and y absolute values of the pupil center, chord μ length, and angle. The normality of the data was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and the influencing factors of chord μ were analyzed through Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis. Results: The equivalent spherical degree and chord μ length were (-5.47±1.66) D and (0.178±0.095) mm, respectively. The chord μ length followed an approximately normal distribution. The chord μ length of 266 eyes (35%) was distributed in the range of 0.120 to 0.200 mm, while the chord μ length of 479 eyes (63%) was<0.200 mm, and the chord μ length of 620 eyes (81%) was<0.260 mm. The chord μ angle distribution accounted for the largest proportion in the superior nasal quadrant (45.6%), followed by the superior temporal quadrant (34.3%), the inferior temporal quadrant (10.1%), and the inferior nasal quadrant (10.0%). High myopia (r=0.11, P=0.002) and high astigmatism (r=0.08, P=0.023) were associated with an increase in chord μ length. The higher the degree of myopia, the smaller the chord μ angle (r=-0.09, P=0.019). The larger the ISV (r=0.09, P=0.017), IVA (r=0.08, P=0.025), and IHD (r=0.08, P=0.039) on the anterior surface of the cornea, the longer the chord μ length. The higher the astigmatism of the posterior corneal surface, the greater the absolute value of the Y coordinate of the pupil center (r=0.07, P=0.044), and the longer the chord μ length (r=0.08, P=0.035), and the smaller the chord μ angle (r=-0.08, P=0.032). Conclusions: The chord μ length of young myopic individuals in China followed an approximately normal distribution, with the majority located in the superior nasal and superior temporal quadrants. High myopia, high astigmatism, and irregular corneal shape are the main factors related to an increase in chord μ length.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify an initial screening tool for congenital ectopia lentis (CEL) by comparing ocular biological parameters in children with myopia. METHODS A retrospective case-control study was conducted at one tertiary referral centre, from October 2020 to June 2022. Axial length (AL), corneal curvature (CC), refractive astigmatism (RA), corneal astigmatism (CA), internal astigmatism (IA), the difference between the axis of RA and CA [AXIS(RA-CA)], white-to-white corneal diameter (WTW), and axial length-corneal radius ratio (AL/CR) were compared in 28 eyes of CEL patients, and 60 eyes of myopic patients matched for age and refraction. The spherical equivalent of each eye was < -3.00 D. Area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curves were calculated. RESULTS The differences in RA, AL, mean keratometry (Kmed), maximum keratometry (Kmax), minimum keratometry (Kmin), CA, IA, AXIS(RA-CA), WTW, and AL/CR between the CEL and myopic groups were statistically significant (p < 0.05; p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p < 0.05; p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p < 0.001, respectively). In logistic regression analysis RA, IA, AXIS(RA-CA), and AL/CR were significantly associated with CEL (p < 0.05). AUCs for RA, IA, AXIS(RA-CA), and AL/CR were 0.694, 0.853, 0.814, and 0.960, respectively. AUCs for AL/CR in SE< -6.00 D subgroup was 0.970, and 0.990 in -6.00 D ≤ SE < -3.00 D group. An AL/CR < 3.024 was the optimal cut-off point differentiating the CEL and control groups (sensitivity, 92.9%; specificity, 88.30%). CONCLUSIONS A smaller AL/CR could identify CEL in children with myopia. An AL/CR cut-off value of 3.024 may be the most sensitive and specific parameter for the differential diagnosis of CEL in patients with mild to high myopia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of refractive astigmatism (RA) and corneal astigmatism (CA) in preschool children and school-aged children in Shanghai, China. METHODS In this school-based, cross-sectional study, 4-15 years old children across three learning stages of kindergarten, primary school, and junior high school underwent noncycloplegic autorefraction and completed comprehensive questionnaires involving time spent on daily homework and outdoor activities. Data from the right eyes were analysed. RESULTS Overall, 7084 children (mean ± standard deviation (SD) of age: 8.08 ± 3.11 years) were included, and the prevalence rates of RA/CA ( ≤ - 1.0 D) in children were 15.8%/64% in kindergartens, 16.5%/65% in primary schools, and 32.8%/76.9% in junior high schools. The magnitude and prevalence of RA and CA all increased with age or with learning stage (all P < 0.001). The presence of RA was associated with more myopic spherical power (odds ratio (OR) 0.956, P = 0.021), junior high school (OR 1.973, P < 0.001), longer homework time on weekdays (OR 1.074, P = 0.029), and shorter outdoor activity time on weekends (odds ratio 0.929, P = 0.013). CONCLUSION In the wide age range of 4 to 15 years, the magnitude and prevalence of RA and CA increased with the learning stage, and these increases mainly began at the primary school stage. Factors, including longer homework time and shorter outdoor time were correlated with the presence of RA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term (8-10 years) outcomes of toric implantable collamer lens (TICL) surgery. SETTING Nagoya Eye Clinic, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. METHODS Patients who underwent TICL surgery from 2005 to 2009 to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism were enrolled. The safety, efficacy, predictability, astigmatism correction efficacy, and complications were evaluated using preoperative, 1-year postoperative, and final examination data. RESULTS 133 eyes of 77 patients were included. At the final visit, the mean uncorrected and corrected visual acuities were -0.01 ± 0.2 and -0.17 ± 0.05, respectively. The mean safety and efficacy indices were 0.91 ± 0.26 and 0.68 ± 0.21, respectively. The manifest astigmatism was -0.45 ± 0.43 diopters (D). The mean corneal astigmatism change from 1 year postoperatively to the final visit was 0.40 ± 0.26 D. Of the 38 eyes with a change in corneal astigmatism ≥0.5 D, 30 eyes (78.9%) changed to against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism, 1 (2.6%) changed to oblique astigmatism, and 7 (18.4%) changed to with-the-rule (WTR) astigmatism. The mean manifest astigmatism change from 1 year postoperatively to the final visit was 0.43 ± 0.52 D. Of the 60 eyes with a change in manifest astigmatism ≥0.5 D, 25 (41.7%) changed to ATR astigmatism, 18 (30.0%) changed to oblique astigmatism, and 17 (28.3%) changed to WTR astigmatism. During follow-up, 8 (6.0%) of 133 eyes developed anterior subcapsular cataracts, among which 4 (3.0%) underwent TICL removal and phacoemulsification and aspiration. No vision-threatening complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS TICL surgery showed good long-term astigmatism-correcting effects, although the long-term uncorrected visual acuity decreased. The procedure was effective in correcting myopia and astigmatism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study analyzed the reciprocal relationships between four common pediatric ophthalmic diseases (i.e., hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, and strabismus) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. METHODS This study enrolled 86,028 children with ADHD and 1,798,673 children without ADHD in the Taiwan Maternal and Child Health Database who were born at any time from 2004 to 2017. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the bidirectional relationships of the four ophthalmic diseases with ADHD in children after adjusting for age, sex, and gestational age at birth. Survival curves for time-to-event variables were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was used to compare the curves. RESULTS The results indicated that ADHD significantly predicted the occurrence of hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, and strabismus. Furthermore, hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, and strabismus significantly predicted the occurrence of ADHD. The time between enrollment and ADHD diagnosis was shorter for patients with ophthalmic diseases than for the control group, and the time between enrollment and ophthalmic disease diagnosis was also shorter for ADHD patients than for the control group. Sex differences were found in the associations between ADHD and ophthalmic diseases. CONCLUSION Clinicians should monitor children with ADHD for hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, and strabismus to ensure appropriate treatment, and vice versa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the visual performance and rotational stability of the multifocal toric intraocular lens in myopes. METHODS This prospective, observational study included patients with an axial length of ≥24.5 mm and regular corneal astigmatism of >1 diopter who underwent phacoemulsification cataract surgery and implantation of a multifocal toric intraocular lens (AT LISA toric 909M). The visual acuity, defocus curves, residual astigmatism, rotational stability, higher-order aberrations (HOAs), modulation transfer function (MTF), spectacle dependence and patient satisfaction were evaluated 3 months after surgery. RESULTS Forty-three eyes from 30 patients were enrolled in this study. Postoperatively, uncorrected distance and near visual acuities (logMAR) were 0.09 ± 0.08 (standard deviation, SD) and 0.14 ± 0.08, respectively. The defocus curve analysis provided a bimodal curve showing two peaks of maximum vision at 0.0 D and at -3.0 D defocus level. The multifocal toric intraocular lens showed excellent rotational stability; the mean rotation was 4.02 ± 2.49 (SD) degrees at 3 months postoperatively. Refractive predictability was excellent with a mean spherical equivalent of 0.19 ± 0.37 (SD) diopters (D) and a mean refractive cylinder of -0.34 ± 0.39 (SD) D. CONCLUSIONS The diffractive multifocal toric intraocular lens, AT LISA toric 909M, provided effective distance and near visual acuities in myopic eyes. It was a predictable and effective device with good rotational stability for the correction of preexisting astigmatism during cataract surgery. In this study, more than 80% of patients achieved spectacle independence.

Abstract
PURPOSE Plate-haptic rotationally asymmetric multifocal toric intraocular lenses (IOL) (Lentis Comfort Toric) occasionally rotate extensively after surgery. We conducted the current study to investigate the incidence of extensive misalignment of this IOL and its association with clinical parameters. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Data were collected from patients who had undergone phacoemulsification and implantation of a plate-haptic multifocal toric IOL. RESULTS Among 332 eyes, extensive misalignment of toric IOLs ≥ 45º occurred in 3.3% (11 eyes). The amount of misalignment in eyes with extensive misalignment was 81.6 ± 22.9º, while in those without extensive misalignment, it was 3.0 ± 2.7º. The eyes with extensive misalignment showed significantly greater axial length (p < 0.001), larger corneal diameter (p = 0.034), and flatter corneas (p = 0.044) than those without extensive misalignment. Repositioning surgery to correct toric IOL misorientation was conducted in 9 eyes between 7 and 28 days after cataract surgery. In 2 eyes, repositioning surgery was carried out twice. CONCLUSIONS In majority of cases plate-haptic multifocal toric IOLs showed satisfactory rotational stability, but extensive misalignment ≥ 45º occurred in 3.3% of cases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To quantitatively assess postoperative rotational stability and visual acuity with the DFT/DATx15 extended depth of focus (EDOF) toric intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS In this prospective case series, thirty-five patients with a calculated IOL power between + 15.0 D and + 25.0 D, corneal astigmatism between 0.75 D and 2.25 D, and no significant ocular pathology underwent cataract surgery. Primary outcome was rotational stability of the IOL at 1 month post-operatively. Secondary outcomes included residual refractive astigmatism, absolute residual astigmatism prediction error, and monocular distance and intermediate visual acuities. RESULTS Mean absolute postoperative IOL rotation was 1.1 ± 0.2 degrees, with no rotation of more than 3 degrees at the final visit. Monocular mean best spectacle-corrected distance visual acuity (BSCDVA) improved from logMAR 0.27 ± 0.030 to 0.078 ± 0.017 (P < .001). Monocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) improved from 0.93 ± 0.096 to 0.18 ± 0.022 (P < .001). Best spectacle-corrected intermediate visual acuity (DSCIVA) was 0.17 ± 0.025, and uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UCIVA) was 0.27 ± 0.040. Residual regular astigmatic refractive error was 0.21 ± 0.047 D. CONCLUSIONS The toric DFT/DATx15 EDOF lens showed excellent rotational stability and effective and predictable correction of astigmatism. Its refractive outcomes and safety profile were similar to those identified in prior studies of the non-toric DFT/DAT015 EDOF IOL. A small difference in monocular BSCDVA, of uncertain clinical significance, was found when comparing these outcomes with prior DFT/DAT015 data. The trial was retrospectively registered on November 5, 2021 (TRN NCT05119127).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of the toric intraocular lens (IOL) and capsular tension ring (CTR) suturing technique in eyes with long axial length (AL) with a high risk of toric IOL rotation. METHODS This is a retrospective observational case series. The data files of patients who underwent a one-piece acrylic toric IOL (Tecnis Toric IOL and Acrysof IQ Toric IOL) implantation with the toric IOL and CTR suturing technique for cataract and astigmatism or toric IOL repositioning were analyzed. Inclusion criteria were a regular total corneal astigmatism of ≥ 1.5 D and an AL of ≥ 26.0 mm. Preoperative and postoperative astigmatism, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), IOL rotation, intraoperative, and postoperative complications were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 30 eyes of 29 patients were included in this study. The mean AL was 27.82 ± 1.53 mm (range, 26.08-31.07). UDVA revealed a statistically significant improvement from 0.84 ± 0.20 logMAR preoperatively to 0.04 ± 0.06 logMAR postoperatively (p < 0.001). The mean preoperative corneal astigmatism was 3.08 ± 1.01 D reduced to the postoperative residual astigmatism of 0.59 ± 0.32 D which was found also statistically significant (p < 0.001). Only 2 eyes (6.2%) had postoperative toric IOL rotation of 5° and 10°, respectively. The mean degree of postoperative rotation was 0.50 ± 2.01. CONCLUSION This technique provided excellent rotational stability even in eyes with longer AL and did not require additional intervention.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (transPRK) with femtosecond laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) for the correction of astigmatism on amblyopic eyes. Methods: The design was a retrospective interventional study on 37 eyes with hyperopic or mixed astigmatism and refractive amblyopia, which underwent transPRK or FS-LASIK. The patients were distributed into 2 groups according to the technique used. Data was collected from patient files and comparison between groups was performed. The main outcomes measured were corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), sphere, cylinder, spherical equivalent (SEQ), efficiency and safety indexes. Results: In the transPRK group, SEQ improved significantly after 1 month, from 2.08 ± 2.02D (p<0.01) to 0.125 ± 0.86D and at the 12 month visit to -0.04 ± 0.62D (p>0.05), sphere improved from 4.03 ± 1.44D preoperatively to 0.67 ± 0.9D at 1 month (p<0.05) and further to 0.44 ± 0.71 at 12 months (p<0.05). CDVA improved from 0.194 ± 0.11 logMAR to 0.115 ± 0.1 logMAR at the 1-year visit. Safety index after 1 month was 1.09 ± 0.2 and 1.12 ± 0.35 at the 1-year visit. Efficiency index was 0.95 ± 0.22 at 1 month and 1.03 ± 0.34 after 1 year. In FS-LASIK group, SEQ improved after 1 month, from 2.28 ± 3.04 to -0.79 ± 0.73D (p<0.01), and further to -0.49 ± 0.79 (p>0.05) at the 12 month visit, sphere improved from 4.11 ± 2.35D preoperatively to -0.42 ± 0.66D at 1 month (p<0.05) and further to -0.08 ± 0.75D at 12 months (p<0.05). CDVA also improved from 0.191 ± 0.1 logMAR to 0.140 ± 0.1 logMAR at 1 year. Safety index after 1 month was 1.1 ± 0.2 and 1.16 ± 0.21 at the 1-year visit. Efficiency index was 0.98 ± 0.27 at 1 month and 1.06 ± 0.23 after 1 year. Conclusion: Both procedures were safe and efficient in improving visual acuity for patients with mixed and hyperopic astigmatism and refractive amblyopia. Abbreviations: transPRK = transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy, FS-LASIK = femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis, logMAR = logarithm of the Minimum Angle of Resolution, BCVA = best corrected distance visual acuity, CDVA = corrected distance visual acuity.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the clinical outcomes of preloaded toric intraocular lens (IOLs) implantation in eyes undergoing phacoemulsification. Methods This prospective study included 51 eyes of 51 patients with visually significant cataracts and corneal astigmatism ranging between 0.75 and 5.50 D. All patients underwent phacoemulsification with SupraPhob toric intraocular lens implantation under topical anesthesia. The main outcome measures were uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), residual refractive cylinder, spherical equivalent, and IOL stability at 3 months follow-up. Results At 3 months, 49% (25/51) of patients had UDVA equal to or better than 20/25 with 100% of eyes achieving better than 20/40. Mean logMAR UDVA improved from 1.02 ± 0.39, preoperatively to 0.11 ± 0.10 at 3 months follow-up (P < 0.001, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). The mean refractive cylinder improved from - 1.56 ± 1.25 D preoperatively to - 0.12 ± 0.31 D at 3 months follow-up (P < 0.001) while the mean spherical equivalent value changed from - 1.93 ± 3.71D preoperatively to - 0.16 ± 0.27D (P = 0.0013). The mean root mean square value for higher order aberrations was 0.30 ± 0.18 μm while the average contrast sensitivity value (Pelli-Robson chart) was 1.56 ± 0.10 log unit, at the final follow-up. The mean IOL rotation at 3 weeks was 1.7 ± 1.61 degrees, which did not change significantly at 3 months (P = 0.988) follow-up. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Conclusion SupraPhob toric IOL implantation is an effective method for addressing preexisting corneal astigmatism in eyes undergoing phacoemulsification with good rotational stability.

Abstract
This retrospective study evaluated long-term visual outcomes in children with regressed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and correlations between visual acuity (VA) and clinical variables, including fundus findings. We reviewed the medical records of 57 consecutive patients diagnosed with ROP. We analyzed the correlations between best-corrected VA and anatomical fundus findings, such as macular dragging and retinal vascular tortuosity, after ROP regression. The correlations between VA and clinical variables such as gestational age (GA), birth weight (BW), and refractive errors (hyperopia and myopia in spherical equivalent [SE], astigmatism, and anisometropia) were also evaluated. Of 110 eyes, 33.6% had macular dragging; the presence of macular dragging and poor VA were significantly correlated (p = 0.002). Patients with larger macula-to-disc distance/disc diameter ratios had significantly poorer VA (p = 0.036). However, no significant correlation was observed between the VA and vascular tortuosity. Patients with smaller GA and BW had poorer visual outcomes (both, p = 0.007). The larger SE in absolute values, myopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia were significantly associated with poorer visual outcomes as well (all, p < 0.001). In children with regressed ROP, macular dragging, small GA and BW, large SE in absolute values, myopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia may be predictors of poor visual outcomes at early ages.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the predictors related to the efficacy of epithelium- and Bowman membrane-penetrating femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) in the treatment of preoperative astigmatism in patients with cataracts and to clarify the predictive role of the incision-to-limbus distance. METHODS This retrospective study included patients who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery combined with FSAK using the LenSX platform (Alcon Laboratories, Inc) at Beijing Aier-Intech Eye Hospital from March 2017 to December 2021. The Lenstar LS900 (Haag-Streit, Inc) was used to measure the horizontal corneal diameter, and ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health) was used to measure the vertical corneal diameter and incision-to-limbus distance. Finally, the measured values were converted. Changes in corneal astigmatism before and 3 months after surgery were analyzed using Alpins vector analysis. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to evaluate the factors associated with surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) in preoperative ocular biometric parameters. RESULTS The study included 94 eyes of 94 patients. The mean target induced astigmatism was 1.36 ± 0.44 diopters (D), SIA was 0.82 ± 0.43 D, and mean difference vector was 0.70 ± 0.40 D. Pearson correlation analysis and univariate regression analysis showed that preoperative corneal astigmatism, arcuate keratotomy arc length, incision-to-limbus distance, and astigmatism type were significant predictors of SIA. Multiple variable regression analysis included parameters such as age, arcuate keratotomy arc length, and incision-to-limbus distance and established a multiple regression model of SIA (all P < .01). CONCLUSIONS The incision-to-limbus distance was a significant independent predictor of SIA, and inclusion of this parameter may further improve the accuracy of the nomogram.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the 12-month incidence of reoperation to realign 2 commercially available types of implanted monofocal toric acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs). SETTING American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS (Intelligent Research in Sight) Registry. DESIGN Registry retrospective study. METHODS Eyes that underwent cataract extraction and were implanted with a TECNIS or AcrySof monofocal toric IOL in 2016 and 2017 were identified. The rate of reoperation for IOL realignment (Current Procedural Terminology code 66825) within 365 days of implantation was determined for each IOL group. Risk factors for repositioning were evaluated using logistic regression modeling. RESULTS A total of 6482 eyes were implanted with a monofocal toric IOL, including 2013 (31.06%) with a TECNIS and 4469 (68.94%) with an AcrySof IOL. During the first postoperative year, 87 (1.3%) eyes underwent surgical IOL repositioning. The incidence of repositioning was significantly higher (P < .0001) for TECNIS-implanted (3.1%, 62/2013) than for AcrySof-implanted (0.6%, 25/4469) eyes (odds ratio [OR] 5.6; 95% CI, 3.5-8.9). Younger age (OR 0.76; 95% CI, 0.67-0.86 per 5-year increase) was associated with a higher risk for IOL repositioning. CONCLUSIONS Real-world analysis of U.S. patients in the IRIS Registry revealed that the rate of surgical IOL repositioning was 5 times higher in eyes implanted with TECNIS than with AcrySof monofocal toric IOLs for astigmatic correction at the time of cataract surgery. These findings should be considered when selecting a toric IOL for correction of astigmatism in cataract patients, particularly in younger patients with a higher risk for misalignment requiring repositioning.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE This case highlights the importance of performing a cycloplegic examination, including retinoscopy, on infants with the diagnosis of craniosynostosis because of the risk of refractive amblyopia. PURPOSE This report presents the unique case of an infant with amblyogenic anisometropic astigmatism secondary to unilateral coronal synostosis, which resolved after fronto-orbital advancement. CASE REPORT A 4-month, 14-day-old male infant with right unilateral coronal synostosis associated with Pfeiffer syndrome presented to the clinic with anisometropic astigmatism (right eye, +2.00 diopter sphere; left eye, +4.00 -4.75 ×170). Because of his young age, this refractive error was initially monitored. Upon follow-up examination at 6 months of age, he showed stability in his refractive error and early signs of amblyopia. Glasses were prescribed and amblyopia resolved. After cranial surgery, the patient's orbits were symmetric, and his amblyogenic astigmatism resolved. CONCLUSIONS Patients who present to the clinic with craniosynostosis should undergo cycloplegic examinations, including retinoscopy, early in their care with the knowledge that these patients can require interventions such as glasses and amblyopia treatment.

Abstract
Distichiasis is the presence of accessory eyelashes emerging from the meibomian gland orifices. It may occur as an isolated abnormality or in conjunction with other ocular and systemic defects. Lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by distichiasis and age-dependent lower extremity swelling due to altered lymphatic flow. The authors describe four pediatric patients with distichiasis (one with genetically proven LDS) with refractive amblyopia secondary to astigmatism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Implantable collamer lens have been used widely worldwide, and have been accepted by more and more doctors and patients due to good safety, stability, and effectiveness. However, there is still a problem of crystal rotation. The large angle rotation (over 10°) would weaken the original astigmatism correction effect and even induce irregular astigmatism, seriously affecting the visual quality of patients. Herein, we reported a case who had 2 times of crystal rotations after toric implantable collamer lens (TICL) implantation. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient was a 38-year-old man who underwent TICL implantation for the correction of high myopic astigmatism in eyes. He presented a sudden decrease in the visual acuity (VA) of the left eye 4 months after the TICL implantation. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 8/20 (refraction, +2.25 -5.25 × 68). DIAGNOSIS Rotation of TICL was diagnosed. The toric marks with a rotation of 75° counter-clockwise from the original position were observed. INTERVENTIONS The TICL was re-set to the original position, leading to the UCVA of 12/20 in the left eye (refraction, -0.00 -0.75 × 131), with the vaulting of 589 μm. Ten months after the TICL relocation, the patient again presented a sudden decrease in the VA of the left eye, with the UCVA of 2/20 (refraction, +2.25 -5.00 × 66). Again, the toric marks with a rotation of 75° counter-clockwise from the original position was observed, just at the same position as the last rotation. This time, the TICL was removed. The axis and power were recalculated, and a new TICL was implanted, with the rotation of 73° counter-clockwise from the horizontal line of the temporal side. OUTCOMES The patient obtained a final UCVA of 12/20 in the left eye (refraction, +0.50 -0.50 × 26), which remained stable in the 6-month follow-up period, with the vaulting of 602 μm. LESSONS Rotation is a common complication after TICL surgery. Relocation or replacement of TICL are safe and efficient ways to recover VA due to TICL rotation.

Abstract
A 38-year-old patient presented to us with complaints of blurred vision and photophobia in the left eye with an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/400, improving to 20/60 with pinhole. The patient underwent phakic iris-claw lens surgery 15 years ago for high myopia. On examination, there was anterior chamber rigid phakic iris-claw lens along with complicated cataract. We planned for sutureless self-sealing 6.5 mm sclerocorneal tunnel for explantation of rigid phakic iris-claw lens along with cataract extraction with irrigating vectis. There was postoperative reduction in astigmatism due to incision planned on steep axis, and visual acuity improved to 20/30 uncorrected. This technique provides significant advantages from the previously described techniques in terms of decreased postop astigmatism, no need for sutures, no issues of chamber instability and iris trauma and without the need for phacoemulsification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of corneal astigmatism among patients before routine cataract surgery and overall ocular difference between Jewish and Bedouin population in the south of Israel. METHODS Retrospective research collecting biometric information from IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Germany) in patients attending cataract surgery at Soroka University Medical Center, Beer-Sheva, Israel between the years 2015 -2016. RESULTS Mean corneal astigmatism among all cohorts was 1.20D ± 0.83, with 1.26D ± 0.84 in Bedouins patients vs 1.17D ± 0.82 in Jews patients (p-value=0.08). Corneal astigmatism lower than 0.5D was seen in 20% of the population, 28% of the population had corneal astigmatism above 1.5D and 9% showed corneal astigmatism higher than 2.5D. When comparing axial length and keratometric characteristics between the two populations, Bedouins had shorter axial length (23.41mm± 1.62 vs. 23.67mm ± 1.55, p=0.01), and flatter corneas on both axes (flat - 43.18D ± 1.76 vs. 43.62D ± 1.79, p<0.01); (steep - 44.44D ± 1.84 vs. 44.77D± 1.89, p<0.01). Higher astigmatism was found in men than in women (1.24D vs.1.15D p- value=0.04) of study group. CONCLUSIONS In our study we found more than 25% of patients had astigmatism more than 1.5D. Patients attending cataract surgery may therefore benefit the use of advanced IOL types and surgical techniques. In addition, a statistically significant difference between the Bedouin and Jewish populations biometric measurements in patients attending cataract surgery found.

Abstract
To investigate how aging affects corneal geometry in Japanese adults, and the association between corneal geometry and astigmatism.We included 421 participants who had undergone systemic and ophthalmological examinations in 2015 in Funagata town, Yamagata, Japan. Corneal topographic data were obtained using anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (CASIA SS-1000). Astigmatism was evaluated using power vector analyses where J0 represents the power of the orthogonal astigmatism. Positive values of J0 indicate with-the-rule astigmatism, while negative values indicate against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism.Regarding age-related variations in corneal geometry, the anterior elevations at axis 0° and 180° decreased, and those at axis 90° and 270° increased with increasing age in linear regression analyses, demonstrating horizontal steepening and vertical flattening of the corneal surface. There were no significant age-related variations in posterior elevations and pachymetry findings, including central corneal thickness. Regarding age-related variations in orthogonal astigmatism, the mean values of J0 and corneal J0 (cJ0) decreased by -0.014 and -0.015 per year of increase in age, indicating astigmatic shift toward ATR. Regarding the correlation between corneal geometry and astigmatism, the shift toward ATR was positively correlated with horizontal steepening and vertical flattening, in accordance with the age-related corneal variations. In addition, the posterior surface of the cornea also has an association with this shift to some extent.The results of our population-based study demonstrated that the age-related variation in astigmatism is associated with geometrical changes in the cornea, especially those in the anterior surface of the cornea.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate outcomes of high hyperopic LASIK using the MEL 80 excimer laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). METHODS Retrospective analysis of 830 consecutive high hyperopic LASIK procedures using the MEL 80 excimer laser and either the VisuMax femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec) or zero compression Hansatome microkeratome (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY). Inclusion criteria were attempted hyperopic correction of +4.00 diopters [D] or higher in one axis and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) of 20/20 or better. Patients were observed for a minimum of 1 year. Epithelial thickness monitoring by Artemis very high-frequency (VHF) digital ultrasound (ArcScan Inc., Morrison, CO) was used to evaluate potential for further steepening as a re-treatment. RESULTS One-year data were available for 785 eyes. Mean attempted spherical equivalent refraction (SEQ) was +4.52 ± 0.84 D (range: +2.00 to +6.96 D) for the primary treatment and mean cylinder was 1.05 ± 0.86 D (range: 0.00 to 5.25 D). Mean age was 50 ± 12 years (range: 18 to 70 years) and 61% were women. Postoperative SEQ was ±0.50 D in 50% and ±1.00 D in 77% of eyes after primary treatment. After re-treatment, 67% of eyes were within ±0.50 D and 89% were within ±1.00 D. Uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/20 or better in 76% of eyes after final treatment. One line of CDVA was lost in 25% of eyes and two lines were lost in 0.4%. There was a clinically insignificant but statistically significant decrease (P < .05) in contrast sensitivity (CSV-1000) by less than 1 log unit at 3 and 6 cycles per degree (cpd) and by 1 log unit at 12 and 18 cpd. Diurnal fluctuation in refraction was identified in 2 eyes, proven by VHF digital ultrasound to be due to diurnal epithelial remodeling overnight and unrelated to maximum postoperative keratometry induced. CONCLUSIONS LASIK for hyperopia by cumulative treatment of up to +8.33 D with the MEL 80 excimer laser was found to satisfy accepted criteria for safety, efficacy, and stability when applying specialized protocols, including epithelial monitoring.

Abstract
UNLABELLED An excimer laser (VISX Twenty/Twenty Excimer Refractive System) was used to treat 51 eyes for myopia and astigmatism. Uncorrected pretreatment visual acuity was between 6/18 and 6/60 (log unit +0.45 to +1.0) in 59% and worse than 6/60 in 29%. The mean pretreatment spherical refractive error was -4.05 dioptre (range 1.25 to 13.25), and the mean pretreatment cylindrical error was -0.97 dioptre (range 0.25 to 4.00). RESULTS Uncorrected visual acuity measured 6/6 or better (log unit 0.0 or less) in 80% at three months, and averaged 6/6 for all eyes at six months post-treatment, with 75% eyes obtaining 6/6 or better. The mean post-treatment spherical error decayed according to pre-treatment values, with a mean sphere of -0.20 dioptre for eyes initially less than -2.00 dioptre, -0.40 dioptre (for those between -2.25 and -3.00), -0.71 dioptre (for those between -4.25 and -5.00), and -1.15 dioptre for eyes initially above -6.25 dioptre. Vectored cylindrical correction exhibited response proportional to initial refraction, with a mean post-treatment cylinder of -1.83 dioptre for eyes formerly averaging -3.08 dioptre, -0.55 dioptre (eyes initially averaging -1.63 dioptre), and -0.51 dioptre (eyes initially averaging -0.67 dioptre). Vector analysis of post-treatment astigmatism showed 58% eyes exhibiting 51 or more degrees of axis shift, although 34% eyes remained within 20 degrees of their pretreatment axis. CONCLUSIONS An effective reduction in spherocylindrical error was achieved with all eyes, although axis misalignment was a common event.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To assess the visual and refractive results of excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in myopic astigmatism. METHODS Excimer laser PRK was performed using an Aesculap Meditec MEL 60 laser in 46 myopic astigmatic eyes. Preoperative corneal astigmatism was -1.50 D. (+/- 0.50) in 7 eyes (15.2%); -2.50 D. (+/- 0.50 in 14 eyes (30.5%); -3.50 D. (+/- 0.50) in 13 eyes (28.3%); -4.50 D. (+/- 0.50) in 8 eyes (17.4%); and -5.50 D. (+/- 0.50) in 4 eyes (8.6%). Mean preoperative cylinder was -3.50 D. (+/- 2.50). Mean preoperative sphere was -4.50 D. (+/- 2.25). Pre and post-operative visual acuity, refraction, keratometer readings, corneal topography, intraocular pressure, and slit lamp findings were recorded. RESULTS By one year of follow-up, postoperative cylinder was between +0.50 and -0.50 D. in 31 eyes (67.4%); between -0.50 and -1.50 D. in 11 eyes (23.9%); between -1.50 and -2.50 D. in 4 eyes (8.7%). Mean post-operative cylinder was -1.21 D. (+/- 1.70). Mean postoperative sphere was -1.09 D. (+/- 1.25). Myopic and astigmatic improvement was achieved in each patient (100%). Topography analysis showed 69.4% were within 0.5 mm, 96.8% within 1 mm, 97.8% within 1.5 mm of centration; 55% of the patients achieved uncorrected visual acuity of 10/10 (Snellen). One patient (2.2%) lost one line of best corrected vision due to decentration and change of axis. CONCLUSION These preliminary results of myopic astigmatic excimer laser PRK procedures compare favorably in efficiency and safety with reports of PRK for myopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of manual cyclotorsion compensation in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for myopic astigmatism. METHODS Eligible patients with myopia from -1.00 to -10.00 diopters (D) spherical equivalent with a minimum astigmatism of 0.75 D undergoing SMILE were included. Intraoperative cyclotorsion compensation was performed by gently rotating the cone and aligning the 0° to 180° limbal marks with the horizontal axis of the reticule of the right eye piece of the microscope of the femtosecond laser after activating the suction. RESULTS In this study, 81 left eyes from 81 patients were analyzed for vector analysis of astigmatism. The mean cyclotorsion was 5.64° ± 2.55° (range: 2° to 12°). No significant differences were found for surgically induced astigmatism, difference vector, angle of error (AE), correction index, magnitude of error, index of success (IOS), and flattening index between 2 weeks and 3 months postoperatively (P > .05). The eyes were categorized into low (≤ 1.50 D, n = 37) and high (> 1.50 D, n = 44) cylinder groups. At 3 months, intergroup analysis showed a comparable correction index of 0.97 for the low and 0.93 for the high cylinder groups, suggesting a slight undercorrection of 3% and 7%, respectively (P = .14). However, the AE and IOS were significantly lower in the high compared to the low cylinder group (P = .032 and .024 for AE and IOS, respectively), suggesting better alignment of the treatment in the high cylinder group. However, the mean uncorrected distance visual acuity of both groups was comparable (P = .21), suggesting good visual outcomes in the low cylinder group despite a less favorable IOS. CONCLUSIONS Manual compensation may be a safe, feasible, and effective approach to refine the results of astigmatism with SMILE, especially in higher degrees of cylinders.

Abstract
SUBJECT The main objective of our study is to evaluate the contribution of automated conjunctival recognition in the alignment of toric implants by comparing the automatic alignment optimized with Callisto™ to the manual marking of the horizontal axis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a prospective, descriptive, and monocentric study on patients undergoing cataract surgery with toric implantation (Asphina 709 Zeiss), operated by a surgeon with good experience in toricity, between September 2016 and March 2017. We analyzed the agreement between the manual marking of the 0°-180° axis versus the one automatically generated by the Callisto™, as well as the alignment of the IOL and the refractive results at 1 month. RESULTS We included 50 eyes of 26 patients. The corrected mean astigmatism was 1.9 D. The mean difference between the 2 axes was 4.7° [0°-12.3°]. Only 50 % of the preoperative manual markings were consistent with the automatic measurement (<5°). At one month, the average rotation recorded was 4.3° [0°-29°]. The alignment was identical for 70 % (n=35) of the IOL (≤5°). As for residual subjective astigmatism, it was on average 0.58 D. The mean visual acuity without correction was 8/10 and 55 % had 10/10 without correction. DISCUSSION The refractive performance depends on the preoperative measurement, the correct alignment of the IOL and its stability in the bag. Our study shows the value of automatic conjunctival recognition in the determination of the axis of peroperative alignment, even in an experienced operator. This precision is essential for a good refractive result, especially since the residual astigmatism in case of misalignment will increase with the power of the implant. CONCLUSION Our study shows excellent refractive results, whatever the initial astigmatism, using the automatic alignment. The precision of the toric implantation opens the way to the toric multifocal implantation under the best conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Introduction: The practical results of optical correction without considering the cylindrical component at close dictance do not always satisfy the patient in everyday visual activity. The aim: Compare the effect of sphero-cylindrical and spherical correction in presbyopic patients with the first detected astigmatism at a close distance work. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: The article presents the results of a survey of 43 patients (86 eyes) aged 38 to 59 years, on average 47 ± 0.8 years. In all patients, weak astigmatism with a cylinder (Cyl) of 0.5 D to 1.0 D was found. At the diagnostic stage all patients were offered a variant of spherical and sphero-cylindrical optical correction, the data we obtained formed two groups of comparison. RESULTS Results: The average value of visual acuity at close distance (33 cm) in patients with spherical correction was better - 0.95 ± 0.06 (73 ± 1.4 optotypes) compared with spherocylindrical correction - 0.61 ± 0.02 (64 ± 0.8 optotypes). The mean distance (66 cm) is better in patients with sphero-cylindrical correction - 1,58 ± 0,01 (70 ± 0,02 optotypes) compared with spherical correction - 0,8 ± 0,05 (55 ± 1,0 optotypes). Also, when using spherical correction, the nearest point of clear vision was closer to the eye, compared with sphero-cylindrical correction, but the range of depth of vision at close range was greater when using sphero-cylindrical correction. CONCLUSION Conclusions: Sphero-cylindrical correction at a distance of 66 cm gives a clearer visual acuity - 1.58 ± 0.01 (70 ± 0.02 optotypes) compared with spherical - 0.8 ± 0.05 (55± 1.0 optotypes).

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare femtosecond laser-assisted sub-Bowman keratomileusis (FSBK) versus laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) to correct moderate to high myopic astigmatism. METHODS Retrospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series. A total of eight hundred and fifty-two eyes with myopic astigmatism of -1.5 diopters (D) or higher were included in the study. We compared 427 eyes treated with FSBK versus 425 eyes treated with LASEK with or without mitomycin C. Visual and refractive results were evaluated 1 day, 1 week, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS Six months postoperatively, the residual spherical defect was slightly but significantly higher in the LASEK group (+0.15±0.62D) than in the FSBK group (+0.09±0.35D) (P=0.05). The postoperative residual astigmatism was also slightly but significantly higher in the LASEK group (-0.38±0.52D) than in the FSBK group (-0.26±0.45D) (P=0.0005). No significant differences were found in the efficacy (0.98±0.17 versus 0.98±0.36, P=0.6) and safety indexes (1.04±0.16 versus 1.05±0.37, P=0.1) between FSBK and LASEK. The enhancement rate was significantly higher in the FSBK group (22.6%) than in the LASEK group (15.5%) (P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS Both FSBK and LASEK are safe and effective procedures to correct moderate to high myopic astigmatism. Slightly better visual and refractive results were observed in FSBK-treated eyes in a 6-month follow-up.

Abstract
Background To study biometric and structural ocular manifestations of Marfan syndrome (MFS). Methods Observational, retrospective, comparative cohort study in a tertiary referral center on 285 MFS patients and 267 controls. Structural and biometric ocular characteristic were compared. Results MFS eyes were longer (axial length 24.25 ± 1.74 mm versus 23.89 ± 1.31 mm, p < 0.001) and had a flatter cornea than control eyes (mean keratometry 41.78 ± 1.80 diopters (D) versus 43.05 ± 1.51 D, p < 0.001). Corneal astigmatism was greater and the central cornea was thinner in MFS eyes (530.14 ± 41.31 μm versus 547.02 ± 39.18 μm, p < 0.001). MFS eyes were more myopic than control eyes (spherical equivalent -2.16 ± 3.75 D versus -1.17 ± 2.58 D, p < 0.001). Visual acuity was reduced (0.13 ± 0.25 logMAR versus 0.05 ± 0.18 logMAR, p < 0.001) and intraocular pressure was lower in MFS eyes (14.6 ± 3.4 mmHg versus 15.1 ± 3.2 mmHg, p = 0.01). Iris transillumination defects (ITD) were significantly more common in MFS eyes (odds ratio for MFS in the presence of ITD, 3.7). Ectopia lentis (EL) was only present in MFS eyes (33.4%). History of retinal detachment was significantly more common in MFS eyes. Glaucoma was equally common in both groups. Conclusions ITD and EL are most characteristic findings in MFS. ITD and corneal curvature should be studied as diagnostic criteria for MFS. Visual acuity is reduced in MFS. MFS patients need regular eye exams to identify serious ocular complications.

Abstract
To evaluate the refractive outcomes of balanced salt solution infiltration during small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).This randomized prospective study enrolled 52 patients (104 eyes) with myopic astigmatism. Patients underwent SMILE to correct the myopic astigmatism in Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University between January and July 2013. One eye of each patient received traditional SMILE (control group) and the other received a modified SMILE procedure (liquid infiltration group). The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), refraction, wavefront aberration, intraocular pressure (IOP), modulation transfer function (MTF) cut-off frequency, and objective scattering index (OSI) were evaluated.UDVA in the liquid infiltration group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 1 day postoperatively, but not at 1 month after surgery. Moreover, OSI and MTF cut-off frequency in the liquid infiltration group were higher than those in the control group at early follow-up. However, no significant intergroup difference was observed in the OSI and MTF cut-off frequency at 3 months after surgery. In addition, the predictability was better in the liquid infiltration group than in the control group. The changes of horizontal coma in the liquid infiltration group were lesser than those in the control group. However, no intergroup difference was observed in the reduction of IOP at 1 month after surgery.The modified SMILE procedure results in better visual outcomes than did the traditional SMILE procedure when used for treating myopic astigmatism.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical results of toric trifocal diffractive intraocular lens in eyes with cataract and mild keratoconus. METHODS Five keratoconus patients (10 eyes) that had bilateral AT LISA 939 implantation were selected and had followed in 3-time horizons of 1, 3, and 6 months. Patients were 46 to 65 years old age, corneal astigmatism of (2.00 D at 6.75 D) and cataract that all of them needed cataract surgery. The distance, intermediate and near visual acuities, defocus curve, ocular aberrations, contrast sensitivity, were measured as effectiveness criteria. RESULTS Average of binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) improved from 0.72 log MAR ± 0.11 (SD) to 0.04 ± 0.04 (P < 0.05) log MAR, average of uncorrected binocular intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) (80 cm) improved from 0.52 ± 0.07 log MAR to 0.14 ± 0.04 (P < 0.05) log MAR, and average of binocular uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) improved from 0.48 ± 0.09 log MAR to 0.02 ± 0.07 (P < 0.05) log MAR at 6 months, respectively. Contrast sensitivity testing showed acceptable results, the binocular defocus curve corroborate were in appropriate good visual acuity even at the intermediate distances, by a gentle slope less than log MAR 0.2 at -1.5 D, with regard to the best distance visual acuity at the 0 D defocus. CONCLUSIONS Trifocal AT LISA 939MP IOLs provided appropriate distances, near and intermediate of the visual results. Prediction of the refractive results and optical performances were good.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of ptosis on the refractive error in eyes having monocular elevation deficiency. STUDY DESIGN Case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital, Rawalpindi, from January 2011 to January 2014. METHODOLOGY Visual acuity, refraction, orthoptic assessment and ptosis evaluation of all patients having monocular elevation deficiency (MED) were recorded. Shapiro-Wilk test was used for tests of normality. Median and interquartile range (IQR) was calculated for the data. Non-parametric variables were compared, using the Wilcoxon signed ranks test. P-values of <0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS Atotal of of 41 MED patients were assessed during the study period. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and refractive error was compared between the eyes having MED and the unaffected eyes of the same patient. The refractive status of patients having ptosis with MED were also compared with those having MED without ptosis. Astigmatic correction and vision had significant difference between both the eyes of the patients. Vision was significantly different between the two eyes of patients in both the groups having either presence or absence of ptosis (p=0.04 and p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION Significant difference in vision and anisoastigmatism was noted between the two eyes of patients with MED in this study. The presence or absence of ptosis affected the vision but did not have a significant effect on the spherical equivalent (SE) and astigmatic correction between both the eyes.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to assess the prevalence of corneal astigmatism before cataract surgery in Indian population. The setting of this study was at the Sant Sarwan Dass Charitable Eye Hospital, Jalandhar, India. This is a clinic-based retrospective study. Charts of patients who underwent cataract surgery over a two-year period were retrospectively reviewed, and preoperative keratometric measurements were collected and analyzed. The mean age of 2316 patients (2502 eyes) was 59.54 ± 10.96 years. The corneal astigmatism was less than 1.0 Dioptre (D) in 796 eyes (59.37 %), 1.0-1.99 D in 716 eyes (28.62 %), 2.0-2.99 D in 187 eyes (7.47 %) and more than 3.0 D in 114 eyes (4.56 %). The mean corneal astigmatism was 1.04 ± 1.04 D and showed a gradual increase with age after the fourth decade. The astigmatism was with-the-rule in 709 (28.34 %), against-the-rule in 1298 (51.88 %), and oblique in 598 (23.9 %) eyes. There was a shift in astigmatism from with-the-rule to against-the-rule with increase in age. Over 40 % of the Indian patients undergoing cataract surgery have more than 1.0 D of corneal astigmatism and may benefit from the use of toric intraocular lenses. These data can be useful in planning to make this technology available for the patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate visual outcomes, spectacle independence, and quality of life among nonastigmatic and astigmatic patients who received AcrySof IQ ReSTOR toric or nontoric multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX) compared with those who received commercially available nontoric monofocal IOLs after bilateral cataract removal. METHODS This randomized, patient- and observer-technician-masked study was conducted at 20 sites in Europe. Patients were randomized to receive monofocal (nontoric only) or multifocal (nontoric or toric, as needed) IOLs. Primary efficacy endpoints included percentage of patients achieving binocular uncorrected distance and near acuity of 0.1 logMAR or better (20/25 Snellen), spectacle independence, and scores on the National Eye Institute Refractive Error and Quality of Life questionnaire domains. Safety endpoints included adverse events and refractive error within 0.5 and 1.0 diopters. RESULTS In the multifocal group (n = 108) versus the monofocal group (n = 100), significantly more patients achieved uncorrected distance and near acuity of 0.1 logMAR or better (45.7% vs 2.1%; P < .0001) and spectacle independence (73.3% vs 25.3%; P < .0001) at 6 months. The percentage of patients who achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/40 or better at 6 months was 92% in the multifocal group and 97% in the monofocal group. National Eye Institute Refractive Error and Quality of Life scores were significantly better for dependence on correction in the multifocal group (P < .0001) and for glare in the monofocal group (P = .0157); other domain scores were similar between groups. No significant trends in study device-related adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS Monofocal and multifocal IOLs provided good clinical outcomes. More patients receiving multifocal IOLs attained better uncorrected visual acuity at a range of distances and spectacle independence compared with patients who received monofocal IOLs. Monofocal IOLs were associated with better patient-reported scores for glare compared with multifocal IOLs; however, scores for patient satisfaction were significantly better in the multifocal group.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the feasibility of performing myopic femtosecond small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) with four different cap thicknesses (130, 140, 150, and 160 μm). METHODS In this retrospective, comparative, non-randomized clinical trial, a refractive lenticule of intrastromal corneal tissue was cut with the VisuMax femtosecond laser system (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) using different depths of the non-refractive lenticule cut. Manifest refraction, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and Objective Scattering Index (OSI) were evaluated. Minimum follow-up time was 1 year. RESULTS Ninety-four eyes of 47 patients with myopia with (14 patients) and without (33 patients) astigmatism were treated. One year after the surgery, mean log-MAR UDVA, logMAR CDVA, SE, and OSI were 0.07 ± 0.12, 0.01 ± 0.37, 0.07 ± 0.57, and 0.88 ± 0.17, respectively (P < .05). There were no significant statistical differences in logMAR UDVA, logMAR CDVA, SE, or OSI (P > .05) variables when the different groups were compared for the same periods of time. CONCLUSIONS No differences in visual acuity, refractive outcomes in optical visual quality, or complications were observed when using SMILE at four different depths.

Abstract
Transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (tPRK), where both the epithelium and stroma are removed in a single-step, is a relatively new procedure of laser refractive error correction. This study compares the 3-month results of myopia and compound myopic astigmatism correction by tPRK or conventional alcohol-assisted PRK (aaPRK).This prospective, nonrandomized, case-control study recruited 148 consecutive patients; 93 underwent tPRK (173 eyes) and 55 aaPRK (103 eyes). Refractive results, predictability, safety, and efficacy were evaluated during the 3-month follow-up. The main outcome measures were uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and mean refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE).Mean preoperative MRSE was -4.30 ± 1.72 D and -4.33 ± 1.96 D, respectively (P = 0.87). The 3-month follow-up rate was 82.1% in the tPRK group (n = 145) and 86.4% in aaPRK group (n = 90), P = 0.81. Postoperative UDVA was 20/20 or better in 97% and 94% of eyes, respectively (P = 0.45). In the tPRK and aaPRK groups, respectively, 13% and 21% of eyes lost 1 line of CDVA, and 30% and 31% gained 1 or 2 lines (P = 0.48). Mean postoperative MRSE was -0.14 ± 0.26 D in the tPRK group and -0.12 ± 0.20 D in the aaPRK group (P = 0.9). The correlation between attempted versus achieved MRSE was equally high in both groups.Single-step transepithelial PRK and conventional PRK provide very similar results 3 months postoperatively. These procedures are predictable, effective, and safe for correction of myopia and compound myopic astigmatism.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate vector analysis, rotational stability, and refractive and visual outcome of a new toric intraocular lens (IOL) for correction of preexisting corneal astigmatism during routine cataract surgery. METHODS In this prospective, interventional case series, 30 toric, aspheric Bi-Flex T toric IOLs (Medicontur Medical Engineering Ltd., Inc., Zsámbék, Hungary) were implanted in 20 consecutive patients with topographic corneal astigmatism between 1.50 and 4.00 diopters (D) and evaluated within the first year after implantation. Appropriate IOL-toric alignment was facilitated by combined imaging/eye tracking technology. Postoperative evaluation included refraction and uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities (UDVA, CDVA). For each visit, photodocumentation in retroillumination was performed to evaluate toric alignment and potential toric IOL rotation. Vector analysis of refractive astigmatism was performed using the Alpins method. RESULTS At 12 months postoperatively, a reduction of the refractive astigmatism from 1.93±0.90 D (range: 0.50 to 4.00 D) to 0.28±0.61 D (range: 0.00 to 1.50 D) could be found, with patients achieving a mean UDVA of 0.06±0.16 logMAR (range: -0.18 to 0.40 logMAR; Snellen 20/20). Intraoperative to 12-month postoperative comparison of IOL axis alignment showed low levels of rotation (0.2°±2.41°; range: +4° to -5°). Vector analysis showed target induced astigmatism of 0.60 D @180°, surgically induced astigmatism of 0.80 D @177°, correction index of 1.02±0.25, and a difference vector of 0.30 D @82°. CONCLUSIONS Implantation of the new Bi-Flex T IOL was a safe, stable, and effective method to correct preexisting regular corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate changes in corneal astigmatism in patients undergoing orbital decompression surgery. Methods This retrospective, non randomized comparative study involved 42 eyes from 21 patients with thyroid ophthalmopathy who underwent orbital decompression surgery between September 2011 and September 2014. The 42 eyes were divided into three groups: control (9 eyes), two-wall decompression (25 eyes), and three-wall decompression (8 eyes). The control group was defined as the contralateral eyes of nine patients who underwent orbital decompression surgery in only one eye. Corneal topography (Orbscan II), Hertel exophthalmometry, and intraocular pressure were measured at 1 month before and 3 months after surgery. Corneal topographic parameters analyzed were total astigmatism (TA), steepest axis (SA), central corneal thickness (CCT), and anterior chamber depth (ACD). Results Exophthalmometry values and intraocular pressure decreased significantly after the decompression surgery. The change (absolute value (|x|) of the difference) in astigmatism at the 3 mm zone was significantly different between the decompression group and the controls (p = 0.025). There was also a significant change in the steepest axis at the 3 mm zone between the decompression group and the controls (p = 0.033). An analysis of relevant changes in astigmatism showed that there was a dominant tendency for incyclotorsion of the steepest axis in eyes that underwent decompression surgery. Using Astig PLOT, the mean surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) was 0.21±0.88 D with an axis of 46±22°, suggesting that decompression surgery did change the corneal shape and induced incyclotorsion of the steepest axis. Conclusions There was a significant change in corneal astigmatism after orbital decompression surgery and this change was sufficient to affect the optical function of the cornea. Surgeons and patients should be aware of these changes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the visual, refractive, and aberrometric outcomes of a bitoric intraocular lens (IOL) and its stability and alignment within the capsular bag. METHODS A retrospective study including 41 eyes of 24 patients with preexisting corneal astigmatism of 0.75 diopters or greater undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of the bitoric IOL AT TORBI 709M (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). Visual and refractive outcomes were evaluated during a 3-month follow-up period. The misalignment between intended and real axis and the levels of corneal, internal, and ocular aberrations (KR-1W; Topcon, Tokyo, Japan) were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 76% and 97% of eyes had a postoperative spherical equivalent within ± 0.50 and ± 1.00 diopters of emmetropia, respectively. Likewise, a total of 86% and 95% of eyes had a postoperative absolute value of refractive cylinder of 0.50 or less and 1.00 or less diopters, respectively. Mean postoperative corrected distance visual acuity was 0.00 logMAR (20/20 Snellen). Mean values of postoperative monocular and binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity were 0.10 and 0.00 logMAR (20/25 and 20/20 Snellen), respectively. The aberrometric analysis confirmed that the magnitude of ocular higher-order aberrations was mainly due to corneal optics and that the corneal astigmatism correction was sufficient with the toric IOL. Mean absolute IOL misalignment was 3.5° with values ranging from 0° to 10°. CONCLUSIONS The bitoric IOL AT TORBI 709M is able to provide a predictable correction of corneal astigmatism with low postoperative levels of ocular higher-order aberrations.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the outcomes of toric intraocular lens implantation in patients with glaucoma and corneal astigmatism. METHODS One hundred twenty-six eyes of 87 patients with glaucoma and corneal astigmatism that underwent cataract surgery with an AcrySof toric intraocular lens (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) implant were selected for this single-center, retrospective case series. Corrected distance visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and refractive astigmatism were measured in each eye preoperatively and postoperatively. Uncorrected distance visual acuity and toric alignment were measured postoperatively. RESULTS The uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.04 ± 0.08 logMAR (20/22 Snellen) for all eyes. Ninety-eight percent of all eyes achieved an uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/40 or better, with 76% achieving 20/25 or better and 47% achieving 20/20. The corrected distance visual acuity for all eyes was 0.01 ± 0.03 logMAR (20/20.5 Snellen) postoperatively. The refractive cylinder improved from 1.47 ± 1.10 diopters preoperatively to 0.31 ± 0.37 diopters postoperatively. The residual refractive cylinder was 1.00 diopter or less in 97% of eyes, 0.75 diopters or less in 90% of eyes, and 0.50 diopters or less in 83% of eyes. Mean misalignment was 4.4° ± 5.1°. Intraocular pressure decreased by a mean of 2.3 ± 3.3 mm Hg following the surgery. CONCLUSION Toric intraocular lenses can reliably reduce astigmatism and improve uncorrected vision in eyes with cataract and glaucoma.

Abstract
Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD) is an extremely rare, bilateral, and inherited disorder, which affects the corneal endothelium and Descemet's membrane. Few PPCD cases in Chinese patients have been published so far. As far as we know, there are few studies which focused on the associations between PPCD and high myopia either. Here we report a rare case of coexistence of posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy, resultant high myopia and with-the-rule developing corneal astigmatism in a young Chinese boy. A 6-year-old boy was first referred to our department 7 years ago, complaining of bilateral poor vision. Examinations of both eyes including ophthalmologic examination, cycloplegic refraction examination, confocal microscopy findings, and corneal topography were performed. Bilateral small aggregates of vesicular lesions and patchy hyperreflectivity were observed at the level of the Descemet's membrane on confocal microscopy, which is consistent with typical PPCD. Optometry and corneal topography examinations showed a resultant high myopia. Ocular examinations were performed annually to follow up with the patient in the past 7 years. The corneal lesions remained stable whereas an axial elongation and a sharp increase in both spherical and cylindrical equivalent power were observed. Close follow-ups including thorough scrutiny of the endothelium and systematic ocular ancillary examinations are essential for patients with PPCD. The pathological coexistence of PPCD and high myopia in our case is possibly due to a shared etiological pathway or genetic background. Advanced genetic analysis on similar cases is expected if more samples can be provided.

Abstract
In this series of patients the use of nylon sutures in wound closure produced wounds which were watertight, secure but astigmatic. The complications which occurred from premature suture absorption were averted and suture removal was not necessary. Less postoperative astigmatism was produced with postplaced running sutures than with interrupted ones and suture knot erosion was avoided by turning suture knots into suture tracks.

Abstract
Pseudophacic eyes can be made nearly spectacle-independent by increasing the depth of focus of the uncorrected implanted eye. When the postoperative ametropia is a simple myopic astigmatism the uncorrected visual acuity can be above 0.4 from far to near. The quasi-constant visual acuity in different distances is due to the slow change in the dimension of the blurred retinal image when a point source comes nearer to a myopic astigmatic eye. The intersection of Sturm's conoid and the retina (i.e. the blur spot) changes mainly in form but its size changes much less than in a sperical ametropia. To obtain such a refraction the dioptric change in corneal power induced by surgery must be included in the calculation of the intraocular lens. The induced corneal ametropia is a mixed astigmatism with no equivalent power. The optical principles and the clinical results obtained with iridocapsular Binkhorst lenses are discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate rotational stability and its influence on postoperative visual acuity of different monofocal and multifocal toric intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS A prospective interventional study was designed. Ninety-one patients with a mean age of 71.65 ± 11.82 years were implanted with toric IOLs after phacoemulsification. Three monofocal toric IOLs (the Lentis LT [Oculentis, Berlin, Germany], enVista [Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY], and AcrySof IQ [Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX]) and one multifocal toric IOL (AcrySof IQ ReSTOR; Alcon Laboratories, Inc.) were implanted. Preoperative and postoperative images were taken to calculate the misalignment due to the marking method. To evaluate rotation in the different follow-up visits, another photograph was taken 1 hour and 1, 7 and 30 days postoperatively. Refraction, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), and corrected distance visual acuity were measured 30 days postoperatively. RESULTS Postoperative UDVA was 0.1 logMAR or better in 64.6% of eyes implanted with monofocal IOLs and 46.4% of eyes implanted with multifocal IOLs. The enVista toric IOL showed the best UDVA compared to the other monofocal IOLs, with 81% of eyes with 0.1 logMAR or better. The mean misalignment in the total group studied was 0.07° ± 0.60°; 69.6% of monofocal IOLs and 67.9% of multifocal IOLs showed less than 5° of rotation. A correlation was found between postoperative UDVA and rotation in the monofocal and multifocal IOLs implanted (r = 0.439 [P < .011] and = 0.787 [P = .001], respectively). CONCLUSIONS At 1 month postoperatively, UDVA was slightly more affected by IOL rotation in multifocal than monofocal toric IOLs. The marking method was also effective.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare vision quality following phacoemulsification cataract extraction and implantation of a Big Bag or Akreos Adapt intraocular lens (IOL) in patients diagnosed with high myopia complicated with cataract. METHODS This was a randomized prospective control study. The patients with high myopia. complicated with cataract, with axial length ≥ 28 mm, and corneal astigmatism ≤ 1D were enrolled and randomly divided into the Big Bag and Akreos Adapt IOL groups. All patients underwent phacoemulsification cataract extraction and lens implantation. At 3 months after surgery, intraocular high-order aberration was measured by a Tracey-iTrace wavefront aberrometer at a pupil diameter of 5 mm in an absolutely dark room and statistically compared between two groups. The images of the anterior segment of eyes were photographed with a Scheimpflug camera using Penta-cam three-dimensional anterior segment analyzer. The tilt and decentration of the IOL were calculated by Image-pro plus 6.0 imaging analysis software and statistically compared between two groups. RESULTS In total, 127 patients (127 eyes), including 52 males and 75 females, were enrolled in this study. The total high-order aberration and coma in the Akreos Adapt group (59 eyes) were significantly higher compared with those in the Big Bag (P < 0.05). The clover and spherical aberration did not differ between the two groups (P > 0.05). The horizontal and vertical decentration were significantly smaller in the Big Bag lens group than in the Akreos Adapt group (both P < 0.05), whereas the tilt of IOL did not significantly differ between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Both Big Bag and Akreos Adapt IOLs possess relatively good intraocular stability implanted in patients with high myopia. Compared with the Akreos Adapt IOL, the Big Bag IOL presents with smaller intraocular high-order aberration. Coma is the major difference between the two groups.
