Accuracy of Modern Intraocular Lens Formulas in Highly Myopic Eyes Implanted with Plate-Haptic Intraocular Lenses
Since the first successful implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) by Dr. Harold Ridley in 1949, IOLs and power calculations have evolved over more than 70 years.1 During this period, there have been continual advancements in ocular biometry and IOL formulas, the diversity of IOL types has expanded, and patient expectations for postoperative visual quality have escalated, culminating in a paradigm shift in cataract surgery from purely visual restoration to a refractive procedure. Particularly for patients with high myopia (typically characterized by an axial length (AL) exceeding 26mm), cataract surgery holds dual import...

Outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with axial length > 33 mm
The prevalence of myopia is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide, especially in Asia, and is projected to affect half of the global population by 2050.1 High myopia is defined differently, but is commonly characterized by an axial length (AL) exceeding 26.0 mm.2 As the AL elongates, there are significant changes in ocular structures, which are closely associated with various sight-threatening complications, such as cataract, macular pathologies, choroidal neovascularization, retinal detachment (RD) and glaucoma.

Retinal image quality through an operating microscope with wavefront shaping extended depth of focus intraocular lens in model eye
Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are frequently used after cataract extractions because they reduce the need for spectacles which is convenient for the daily lives of patients.1,2 Multifocal IOLs have either refractive or diffractive optical structures to create multiple focal points.3,4 However, the discontinuous focus created by the multifocal IOLs leads to postoperative dysphotopsia including glare and halos due to light scattering. Extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) IOLs have an elongated focal point which results in an increase in the depth of focus, and they are used for the optical treatment of eyes after cataract e...

Malignancy Risk Associated with the Use of Systemic Immunomodulatory Therapy in the Management of Non-infectious Uveitis
Patients with non-infectious uveitis (NIU) can require treatment with systemic immunomodulatory therapy (IMT), but it is unclear whether IMT drug categories increase the risk of malignancy in NIU patients. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of systemic IMT in patients with NIU is associated with an increased risk of malignancy. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)
