a 35-year old male presented to our keratoconus clinic complaining of bilateral reduced vision , despite spectacle correction due to significant astigmatism . his occupation as a welder with heavy exposure to a dusty environment made him an unsuitable candidate for contact lenses . the patient's ...
In Clinical, Jul 11, 2024Heidelberg University Eye Clinic successfully treated a patient with radial keratotomy 22 years prior using a Morcher Xtrafocus lens, correcting fluctuating residual refraction after cataract surgery.
In Clinical, Sep 01, 2020Researchers assessed the optical quality of monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) sutured to an artificial iris, finding that while the lenses' modulation transfer function (MTF) decreased slightly, the changes were clinically irrelevant.
In Research, Aug 05, 2020Evaporative dry eye (EDE) is a common condition where tears evaporate too quickly, causing discomfort, irritation, and blurred vision. It is often caused by meibomian gland dysfunction, which can be treated with warm compresses, thermal pulsation, intense pulsed light, and meibomian gland probing...
In Clinical, Aug 03, 2020The study visualized and analyzed the optical performance of four intraocular lens (IOL) models using a ray propagation imaging technique and modulation transfer function (MTF) measurements. The IOLs included a monofocal, bifocal, trifocal, and extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) lens. The results sho...
In Research, Feb 05, 2020The study evaluated the clinical outcomes of the Mini WELL Ready extended-depth-of-focus intraocular lens (EDOF-IOL) in 14 cataract patients. The lens provided good postoperative functional results at far and intermediate distances, with high rates of spectacle independence and satisfaction in ev...
