PURPOSE: To compare visual and refractive results of Toric Implantable Collamer Lens (TICL) and bioptics (ICL plus excimer corneal surgery) to treat myopic astigmatism. METHODS: Eighty-one eyes underwent TICL implantation and 83 eyes were treated with bioptics (corneal ablation was performed between 1.5 and 6 months after ICL implantation). Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual a...
To compare the central postoperative vault of a phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) to correct myopia, myopic astigmatism, and hyperopia and identify ocular and lens parameters that might predict the vault amount.
Artigo submetido ; PURPOSE: To review the peer-reviewed literature reporting pstoperative complications of the most recent models of Visian Implantable Collamer posterior chamber intraocular lenses (ICL, STAAR Surgical Co). METHODS: A literature search of the PubMed database was performed to identify all articles related to ICL complications. Articles were obtained and reviewed to identify those that reported ...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of posterior chamber collagen copolymer phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation to correct myopia. SETTING: Fern!andez-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain. DESIGN: Cohort study. METHODS: Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, refraction, pIOL vault, endothelial cell loss, and adverse events were evaluated for 5 year...
The purpose of this study was to report the fi rst estimations on the prevalence of refractive conditions in a Portuguese population attending several ophthalmologic and optometric clinics within the same region. Methods: Values of non-cycloplegic subjective refraction from the right eye of 4288 patients (40.08±18.75 years) were analyzed to estimate the prevalence of refractive conditions as a function of age a...
PURPOSE: To retrospectively report the trends of change in several parameters of the human visualsystem over a wide age range in patients attending an eye clinic. SETTING: University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain. METHODS: The clinical records of 2654 patients were retrospectively reviewed, and the age, sex, spherocylindrical refraction, visual acuity, keratometry, and intraocular pressure were obtained. Descrip...
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of two tinted contact lenses (CL) designed for outdoor sports activity on the psychometric determination of retinal straylight using the compensation comparison method. METHODS: Thirteen emmetropic subjects were randomly fitted with two different tinted Nike Maxsight (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY, USA) CL in one eye, while the contralateral eye was fitted with a clear lens mad...
No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned ; PURPOSE: To measure the anterior corneal asphericity (Q) with different corneal diameters. SETTING: Department of Physics (Optometry), University of Minho, Braga, Portugal. METHODS: Thirty-six eyes of 36 patients were evaluated using a videokeratoscope, and the Q-values were recorded. Topographic data were also analyzed usi...
To evaluate the influence of age on the measurements and relationships among central and peripheral IOP readings taken with a rebound tonometer. METHODS: The intraocular pressures were assessed using the ICare(R) rebound tonometer (Tiolat Oy, Helsinki, Finland) on the right eye of two-hundred and seventeen patients (88 males, 129 females), aged 18 to 85 years (meanSD, 45.919.8 years), at the center and at 2 mm ...
