Article Title: Impact of Simulated Astigmatism on Visual Acuity, Stereopsis, and Reading in Young Adults

doi: 10.3390/vision9040099

Figure Lengend Snippet: Boxplot shows the lower limit, 1st quartile, median, 3rd quartile, upper limit, and outliers of the measures for the three groups (ATR—against-the-rule astigmatism; WTR—with-the-rule astigmatism; OBL—oblique astigmatism) with different powers of simulated astigmatism on distance BCVA (logMAR) compared to the baseline. BCVA—best correct visual acuity; DS—diopters sphere; DC—diopters cylinder.

Article Snippet: The inclusion criteria included: (1) no evidence of ocular disease; (2) both sexes; (3) aged between 18 and 35 years; (4) spherical refractive errors ≤ ±2.00 D without or with astigmatism ≤ −0.75 DC, and anisometropia with interocular difference in SE ≤ 0.50 diopters sphere (DS) (ocular refraction was performed under cycloplegia with the instillation of a drop of 1% tropicamide, Mydriacyl 1%, Novartis, Basel, Switzerland, and the examination was performed after 30 min); (5) best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.00 logMAR or better in both eyes; (6) normal binocular vision (orthophoria by cover/uncover test and presence of sensory fusion by the Bagolini striated lens test); (7) accommodation amplitude (AA) equal to or greater than that estimated by Hoffstetter’s formula (15 D−0.25 × age in years); (8) near point of convergence ≤ 10 cm; and (9) positive fusional vergence and negative fusional vergence with prism bar for distance and near, within normal values, distance and near, respectively, for convergence 45 Δ /40 Δ and 25 Δ /20 Δ and for divergence 14 Δ /14 Δ and 8 Δ /6 Δ [ ].

Article Title: CAPSULaser – a new modality in the portfolio of cataract surgeons

doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000035762

Figure Lengend Snippet: Demographic parameters of the study subjects. Group 1 was operated by an established surgeon (30 + years of surgical experience). Group 2 was operated by a young experienced surgeon (300 + cataract cases). The sub-groups M and L were randomized to manual (M)l and laser(L) (Capsullarer) capsulorhexis respectively.

Article Snippet: Preoperative evaluation included visual acuity testing with a LogMar visual acuity chart, IOP (Corvis ® ST; Oculus Inc.), biomicroscopy (ZEISS SL 220 and ZEISS SL Imaging Module), specular microscopy (2000P Topcon specular microscope), and posterior segment OCT (Cirus 6000, Zeiss).

Article Title: A Preliminary Comparative Study of Visual Performance Between Two Newly Commercially Available Monofocal Intraocular Lenses Implanted During Cataract Surgery

doi: 10.2147/OPTH.S246319

Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes of Best Correct Visual Acuity (BCVA), Refraction Measured as Spherical Equivalent (SE), Contrast Sensitivity (CS) Measured with Pelli-Robson Chart and Visual Function Index (VF-14) Score Before and at 1, 3 and 6 Months Follow Up in Group 1 and Group 2 Eyes. Statistical Test Have Been Performed Using Student t Test for Paired Data

Article Snippet: Each patient underwent a complete ocular examination before (V0) and 1 month (V1), 3 months (V2) and 6 months (V3) after surgery, including the following procedure: visual acuity testing (LogMAR); objective refraction (Nidek AR-310, Tokyo, Japan) for the calculation of: actual refraction (spherical equivalent, SE), mean and median prediction error (calculated as the difference between the predicted postoperative refraction and the actual postoperative refraction), absolute prediction error (mean of the absolute values of prediction errors), and proportion of eyes with a actual refraction within 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 D compared to predicted one; slit-lamp biomicroscopy; CS testing; the administration of visual function index questionnaire (VF-14).
