Topography and Longitudinal Chromatic Aberration characterizations of Refractive-Diffractive Multifocal IOLs
In this paper, we investigated the topology properties of various Multifocal intraocular lenses and correlated their characteristics to their optical behavior for various wavelengths. Chromatic properties and their origins were then compared. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)

Perioperative considerations and anesthesia management in patients with obstructive sleep apnea undergoing ophthalmic surgery
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder characterized by breathing cessation caused by obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. It is associated with multiorgan comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmias, diabetes mellitus, and stroke. Patients with OSA have an increased prevalence of ophthalmic disorders such as cataract, glaucoma, central serous retinopathy (detachment of retina, macular hole), eyelid laxity, keratoconus, and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy; and some might require surgery.

Enhancing rotational stability of toric intraocular lenses using a type 2L Cionni capsular tension ring in patients with high myopia
We present the technique used in a patient with high myopia to obtain rotational stability of a plate-haptic multifocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) (AT LISA tri toric 939MP). Both of the patient's eyes had long axial lengths and large capsular bags. The first operated eye experienced consecutive toric IOL malpositions. In the fellow eye, toric IOL alignment was preserved by implanting a type 2L Cionni capsular tension ring. This was reversely inserted so the two eyelets, which are positioned slightly anterior to the ring, pressed the IOL on the posterior capsule. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)

Enhancing toric IOLs rotational stability in high myopia using a 2L Cionni ring
We present the technique used in a patient with high myopia in order to obtain rotational stability of a plated-haptic multifocal toric intraocular lens (AT LISA tri toric 939MP, ZEISS).

An objective scatter index cut-off point as a powerful objective criterion for preoperative nuclear cataracts decision making based on a ROC analysis
This study elucidates the objective scatter index (OSI) potential clinical application in cataract surgery scheduling. According to a ROC analysis, 3.2 OSI value would be a potentially discriminative cut-off point. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)

Topography-guided excimer treatment planning: Contribution of anterior corneal coma to ocular residual astigmatism
Manifest refractive astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism rarely agree in magnitude and axis. When expressed vectorially where RA is the refractive astigmatism and ACA is the anterior corneal astigmatism), the discrepancy between refractive astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism is called  ocular residual astigmatism (ORA).1 Corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) are thought to contribute to refractive astigmatism and therefore to ORA in highly aberrated keratoconus corneas and in irregular corneas post-laser in situ keratomileusis flap complications and excimer laser ablation–r elated complications.

Femtosecond laser –assisted cataract surgery versus conventional cataract surgery comparison
The study by Lee et  al.1 compared the differences between femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery and conventional phacoemulsification in patients with multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Tecnis ZLB00, Abbott Medical Optics, Inc.). It comprised 22 patients (26 eyes) in the conventional group and 17 patients ( 23 eyes) in the femtosecond laser–assisted group. The study stated that the aberration profile (total root mean square [RMS], tilt, and RMS higher-order aberrations) and patient satisfaction were statistically better in the femtosecond laser–assisted group.

One-sided versus 2-sided statistical analysis of the safety and efficacy of intracameral moxifloxacin to prevent post-cataract endophthalmitis
I read the study by Melega et  al.1 I disagree with their use of the 1-sided chi-square or Fisher exact test. The incidence of endophthalmitis reported in the study was 0.05% (1/1818; it should be 0.06%) in the moxifloxacin-treated group and 0.38% (7/1822) in the control group. The 1-sided Fisher exact test yields a P value o f 0.035, which is less than 0.05 and statistically significant. However, with the 2-sided Fisher exact test, the P value is 0.07 and not statistically significant. The chi-square test gives similar results. (Source: Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery)
