Article Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to compare post-operative astigmatic outcomes of two groups, with-the-rule (WTR) and against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism patients, according to the haptic axis of intraocular lenses (IOLs) inserted in cataract surgery.
Methods: Seventy-two eyes with WTR astigmatism and 79 eyes with ATR astigmatism had cataract surgery through a clear corneal temporal incision. These two groups of eyes were then each divided into 2 groups based on whether the haptic axis of the inserted IOL was at 180° or 90°. For ATR patients, the outcomes were analyzed according to the three types of IOLs.
Results: There was no difference in corneal astigmatism, but WTR patients with a 180° haptic axis of the inserted IOL and ATR patients with a 90° hepatic axis of the inserted IOL had a significant decrease in postoperative refractive astigmatism (p < 0.05). The changes in ATR astigmatism according to the IOL type were more effective in single-piece acrylic IOLs than in the three-piece polymethylmethacrylate haptic IOL group.
Conclusions: Insertion of the IOL at the 180° haptic axis in WTR patients and at 90° in ATR patients during cataract surgery may have an effect in reducing pre-existing astigmatism. This observed effect was not consistent among the different types of IOLs.

Suture Repositioning for Subluxation of a Toric-Type Single-Piece Multifocal Intraocular Lens.

Department of Ophthalmology, Kanazawa Medical University, Uchinada, JPN.
Intraocular repair for subluxation of a multifocal intraocular lens (MFIOL) can be challenging, especially in toric models. Herein, we report a case of a 43-year-old man with a subluxated toric-type single-piece trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a C-loop that was spared using suture repositioning. Pars plana suturing was performed using the haptic externalization technique, and the tram-track suture technique was employed to flatten the tilted toric MFIOL.

Palpation of arteries holds significant physiological importance. Existing pulse actuator designs intended to replicate the haptic sensations of palpation primarily focus on normal force interactions, often overlooking the shear forces generated by oscillations of the arterial wall during blood flow. This study aims to evaluate the normal, longitudinal, and transverse forces exerted by arteries through both theoretical and experimental analyses during palpation.

This study aims to design and evaluate a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) master-slave robotic system for remote, contact-free ENT examination, focusing on safety, efficiency, and user workload. A three-axis Cartesian stage with a three-axis spherical wrist was designed for precise, non-contact laryngoscopy. Six participants (3 experts, 3 novices) performed eight phantom and eight in-vivo trials each.

Purpose: This study focuses on the analysis of the rotational stability after implantation of a biconvex aspheric toric monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with a double C-loop haptic-design in eyes with normal versus high axial lengths.
Methods: This was a prospective comparative study including 150 eyes with corneal astigmatism (≥0.75D) implanted with the biconvex aspheric monofocal PODEYE toric IOL and assessed up to 1 year after surgery.
