Spectral-Domain OCT Lens Meridian Position as a Metric to Estimate Postoperative Anatomical Lens Position
Intraoperative SD-OCT–measured LMP correlated better than anterior chamber depth and axial length to postoperative ALP. Further studies are necessary to analyze the impact of preoperative or intraoperative LMP measurements on postoperative refractive outcomes.
Quantifying Corneal Topographic Astigmatism (CorT Total) in Keratoconic Eyes
For keratoconic eyes, the CorT should be derived from an annular region centered 30% of the way toward thinnest point from corneal vertex, although when the keratoconus is mild, a standard corneal-vertex–centered CorT performs just as well.
Accuracy of Nine Formulas to Calculate the Powers of an Extended Depth-of-Focus IOL Using Two SS-OCT Biometers
Constant optimization remains a mandatory step to achieve the best outcomes with the new EDOF IOL: the same constant should not be used for all formulas and for both optical biometers. Different statistical tests revealed that older IOL formulas have lower accuracy compared to newer formulas.

Bilensectomy: Safety and Visual Outcomes in Angle-Supported, Iris-Fixated and Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lenses
Bilensectomy outcomes in general are good. Iris-fixated lenses, particularly hyperopic, are more prone to intraoperative complications and endothelial cell loss than the other pIOLs models.
Spherical Aberration of Cataractous Eyes and Its Relationship With Age, Ocular Biometry and Various IOL Platforms
PSA is not normally distributed, suggesting that there may be no “average” SA that IOLs should aim to correct. Patients might benefit from tailoring IOL choice to individual SA.
Clinical Retinal Image Quality of a Non-diffractive Wavefront-Shaping Extended Depth of Focus (Vivity) Intraocular Lens
Although trifocal IOLs provided significantly better retinal image quality if influence of LOA is excluded, they also demonstrated to be the most sensitive to residual refractive errors.

Astigmatism Tolerance and Visual Outcomes After Bilateral Implantation of a Hybrid Continuous Transitional Focus IOL
The Precizon Presbyopic IOL allows good astigmatism tolerance and both objective and subjective high quality of vision.
PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision LASIK in Commercial and Military Pilots Requiring Class 1 Medical Certification
PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision LASIK enabled presbyopic commercial pilots to continue to fly without the need for glasses.
Astigmatism Profile in a Large Series of Brazilian Patients
Corneal astigmatism values in the Brazilian population were similar to those found in other ethnicities, suggesting that toric calculators, nomograms, coefficients of adjustment and formulas that were developed based on astigmatism values of other populations may be used in Brazilian patients with comparable accuracy.
