IOL power calculations were performed using the Barrett Universal II and SRK/T formulas. We compared the prediction error, the absolute error, and the percentages within ± 0.5 D and ±1.0 D of the targeted refraction, 3 months postoperatively, and also investigated the relationship of the prediction error with the keratometric readings and axial length, using the two formulas.ResultsThe prediction error using the SRK/T formula was significantly more myopic than that using the Barrett Universal II formula (paired t-test, p<0.001). The absolute error using the Barrett Universal II formula was significantly smaller than that using the SRK/T formula (p = 0.039). We ...

Methods: The estimated corneal power before LASIK (Kpre) in the double-K method was 43.86 D according to the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery calculator, and the K readings of the IOL master were used as the K values after LASIK (Kpost). The factor for correcting the target refractive value (correcting factor [C-factor]) was calculated from the correlation between the anterior–posterior ratio of the corneal radius of the curvature and the refractive error obtained using this method for 30 eyes of 30 patients. Results: Fifty-nine eyes of 59 patients were included. The mean values of the numerical and absolute prediction errors obtain...

We enrolled 71 eyes of 71 patients (mean age, 71.4 ± 10.7 (standard deviation) years) with cataract formation who were under surgical consultation. We determined the area under the log contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) using a contrast sensitivity unit (VCTS-6500, Vistech). We utilized single and multiple regression analyses to investigate the relevant factors in such eyes. The mean AULSCF was 1.06 ± 0.16 (0.62 to 1.38). Explanatory variables relevant to the AULCSF were, in order of influence, logMAR best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) (p < 0.001, partial regression coefficient B = −0.372), and log(s) (p = 0.023, B = −0.032) (adjusted R2 = 0.402). We found no significant association with other variables such as age, gender, uncorrected visual acuity, nuclear sclerosis grade, or ocular H...

METHODSFifty-six healthy emmetropic eyes of 30 patients were separated into three groups according to age: group 1, 20 to 29 years; group 2, 30 to 39 years; and group 3, 40 to 49 years. Using iTrace ray-tracing technology, pupil diameter, objective refraction, and wavefront aberrations at accommodation demands of 0 to 4.00 diopters (D) in five 1.00-D increments were determined. In analyzing higher order aberrations in the central 4-mm diameter zone of the pupil, Zernike polynomials were used to study the changes associated with accommodation in the magnitude of total higher order aberrations, third order aberrations (coma-like aberrations), fourth order aberrations (spherical-like aberrations), and the spherical aberration component (C40) of the fourth order aberrations. RESULTSPupil diameter d...

Our study comprised 192 eyes of 192 patients (mean age, 71.3 ± 9.2 (standard deviation) years) who have cataract formation for surgical consultation. We determined uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities (UDVA and CDVA), manifest refraction, the grade of nuclear sclerosis, objective scattering index (OSI) with the OQAS II (Visiometrics, Spain), log(s) with the C-Quant (Oculus, Germany), and ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs) using the wavefront sensor (KR-1W, Topcon, Japan). The mean OSI was 5.11 ± 3.19 (0.90 to 20.90). We found explanatory variables relevant to the OSI to be, logMAR CDVA (p < 0.0001, partial regression coefficient B = 5.917) and log(s) (p = 0.0006, B = 0.911) (adjusted R2 = 0.333), in order of influence. No significant correlation was found with other clinical factors such as gender, age, manifest refraction, UDVA, ocular HO...

We examined 82 cases (age: 49-87 years) with pseudophakic monovision. All cases were undergone monovision using monofocal intraocular lens (IOLs). The cases were classified into three groups based on their age (A, less than 60 years; B, between 60 to 70 years ; and C, more than 70 years). Refractive error, visual acuity at various distances, contrast sensitivity, and near stereopsis were measured. Using a questionnaire, patient satisfaction before and after cataract surgery was evaluated. The mean difference in spherical equivalent refractive error between both eyes was 2.27 D (A, 2.39D; B, 2.30D; and C, 2.20 D). Most cases had a binocular uncorrected visual acuity of 20/25 or better at all distances. For contrast sensitivity, binocular summation was observed at 1.5 to 6 cycles/ degree. Near stereopsis was in the normal range, which was less than or equal to 100 seconds of arc. Moreov...

Department of Ophthalmology, Kitasato University Hospital, Kanagawa, Japan. Case series. Patients who had surgery using the monovision method with monofocal intraocular lenses had routine postoperative examinations. Assessed were visual acuity, near stereopsis, ocular deviation, patient satisfaction, and the rate of spectacle dependence preoperatively and 1, 3, and 6 months and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years postoperatively. The study enrolled 54 patients with a mean age of 74.7 years ± 7.9 (SD). The mean difference in the spherical equivalent refractive error between eyes of each patient was 2.13 diopters. The binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity was at least 0.10 logMAR in 98% of patients, with 76% achieving Jaeger 2 or better binocular uncorrected near visual acuity. Near stereopsis in patients who shifted from exophoria to intermittent exotropia decreased, although no serious problems were observed. The rate of spectacle dependence was 88% preoperatively, 41% at 1 year, and 22% at 5 years. Patient satisfaction improved gradually during the follow-up. Pseudophakic monovision was an effective approach for correcting presbyopia throughout the 5-year observation period; however, a longer follow-up, including further studies is necessary to allow selection of appropriate patients.

Department of Ophthalmology, Kitasato University Hospital, Kanagawa, Japan. Case series. Hybrid monovision was achieved by implanting a monofocal IOL (AQ310Ai) in the dominant eye and a diffractive multifocal IOL (Tecnis ZM900) in the nondominant contralateral eye. The target refraction was emmetropia in both eyes. Visual acuity at various distances, contrast sensitivity, near stereopsis, reading ability, and the degree of patient satisfaction were measured. The study enrolled 32 patients with a mean age of 61.2 years ± 14.7 (SD). At all distances, the mean binocular visual acuity was better than 0.1 logMAR. Binocular contrast sensitivity was better than monocular vision in the eye with the diffractive multifocal IOL. Near stereopsis within normal range was maintained in 62.5% of patients. Of the patients, 18.8% reported spectacle dependence. With binocular vision, no patients reported waxy vision (ie, as though they were looking through water). Hybrid monovision may be an effective approach for managing loss of accommodation after cataract surgery and may be the method of choice in cases of waxy vision caused by bilateral multifocal IOL implantation.
