Implantation of diffractive trifocal intraocular lens
This study reports on 60 eyes of 120 patients who underwent routine cataract surgery followed by implantation of the trifocal IOL model Lisa tri-839MP. This is a diffractive trifocal preloaded IOL with no interruption at the haptic-optic junction, 360 degrees...

Epi-LASIK, LASEK, meta-analysis, myopia
Previous studies have produced inconsistent conclusions on the relative benefits between LASEK vs. Epi-LASIK. LASEK uses 20% alcohol to separate an epithelial flap from the Bowman membrane. After ablation, the epithelial flap is repositioned onto the cornea. Epi-LASIK creates the...

Marfan syndrome, aphakia, axial length, cataract, ectopia lentis, flattened cornea, myopia, pseudophakia, retinal detachment
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disorder with clinical manifestations associated with cardiovascular, ocular and skeletal organ systems. Typical signs are descending aortic root aneurysms, ectopia lentis, tall stature and scoliosis. This observational study looked at the ocular characteristics, visual...
Contact lenses for adults with infantile nystagmus
A pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to determine recruitment rates, acceptability of and adherence to treatment and adverse events along with change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and nystagmus parameters from baseline to two weeks follow-up. The...
Prismatic contact lens correction vs prismatic glasses
The aim of this study was to verify if diplopia could be corrected by applying soft directional prism contact lenses, to compare effectiveness of diplopia correction, comfort and quality of vision with these contact lenses compared to prism glasses. This...Heidelberg Engineering supplies free protective breath shields

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of signal strength on mean retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) using spectralis optical coherence tomography (S-OCT). Thirty normal subjects were imaged with S-OCT using variably dense Bangerter foils to alter...
Principles of contact lens fitting in keratoconus
Keratoconus is an ectatic condition of the cornea characterised by progressive conical distortion with irregular astigmatism, myopia and apical protrusion. Most cases progress slowly resulting in varying degrees of myopic astigmatism. Management of keratoconus includes spectacles, soft contact lenses, a...Conservative management of concomitant strabismus
