Association of refractive outcome with postoperative anterior chamber depth measured with 3 optical biometers
ConclusionSubstantial agreement was found in postACD measurements obtained from the SS-OCT, OLCR, and Scheimpflug devices, with a trend toward comparable refractive outcomes in the Olsen formula. Meanwhile, postACD measurements may be potentially superior for the additional enhancement of refractive outcomes. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

The visual impact of higher-order aberrations in patients with pediatric blepharokeratoconjunctivitis
ConclusionsThere was a significant increase in total HOAs of eyes with PBKC compared to healthy controls. Corneal opacity, vascularization, and scarring are associated with increased HOAs. The PBKC eye aberration profile: coma, secondary astigmatism, quadrafoil, and pentafoil, were associated with decreased CDVA and visual quality (PSF and MTF). (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Refractive outcomes of small lenticule extraction (SMILE) Pro ® with a 2 MHz femtosecond laser
ConclusionThe SMILE Pro ® is a safe, efficient, and predictable procedure for the treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism, with comparable results of conventional SMILE surgery. High myopic eyes achieve better results than low and moderate myopia. No complications were recorded in our patients. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Exploring the impact of optical corrections on visual functions in myopia control –a scoping review
ConclusionThis scoping review found a reduction in central and peripheral contrast sensitivity function, as well as low contrast visual acuity when using various optical corrections for myopia control, while high-contrast visual acuity remained the same. The impact of visual functions may not influence the effectiveness of myopia control. Eye care practitioners should provide awareness to the parent and patient population about the potential visual impact of recent designs for optical corrections of myopia control.

Determination of the toric axis by using internal astigmatism axis in non-dilated eyes
ConclusionsIn eyes with toric IOL implantation, the IOL axis and IOL rotation according to target IOL axis can be detected easily and effectively in a short time by OPD scan internal astigmatism axis without the need to dilate the pupil. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Complications after CyPass ® Micro-Stent explantation: a case series
ConclusionDealing with implanted CyPass ® Micro-Stents poses a challenge for ophthalmic surgeons. An in toto removal can be traumatic, since the CyPass stent often is fibrotic encapsulated and fused with the surrounding tissue. Alternatively, trimming of the CyPass is also a viable option to avoid further endothelial damage. Reported com plications of CyPass trimming are consistent with those that can occur after explantation. Further data on the development of the endothelial cells after trimming or explantation are not yet available. Therefore, it remains open whether trimming of the CyPass, in contrast to complete remo...
