The safety of Reversible Trifocality.
The long-term axial alignment of capsular bag–fixated toric IOLs in polypseudophakic eyes was comparable to the results reported for monopseudophaks. The presence of the second lens in the sulcus did not appear to affect the rotational stability of the first IOL.

Comparing Multisert and AutonoMe.
Two different IOL injector systems, the Multisert and the AutonoMe, were used. Implantation was without critical events in 96 of 96 eyes. Mean implantation time was 41.90 ± 7.11 s with the Mult isert and 52.22 + 12.06 s with Autono me.

Overcoming implantation challenges with SING IMT
The SING IMT is an implantable telescope. With a haptic diameter of 10.8mm, an axial length of 4.4 mm and a weight of 63 mg in aqueous humor the implant is substantially bigger and heavier than conventional IOLs. With its increased size and weight the lens device significantly stretches the average-sized capsular bag.

Enlarged incisions – but why?
In cataract surgery small corneal incisions are associated with a significantly better visual recovery. What are initially small incisions can enlarge during surgery and that impedes the positive effects of keeping the incision small. Our goal was to identify the surgical factors that cause a larger final incision size. We can recommend that IOL-manufacturers should reduce the vertical diameter of the injector tip.

Introducing Dynamic Stimulation Aberrometry
The eye's reflex action of Accommodation permits us to focus on a near object and then look at a distant object. The accommodation process is impaired in presbyopic patients and may also play a role in the pathophysiology of myopia. The dynamic approach of the DSA method opens the possibility of seeing changes during the accommodation process in parallel with pupil motility.
