Article Abstract
Purpose: To describe progression of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), full-field stimulus thresholds (FST), and electroretinography (ERG) over 4 years in the -related Retinal Degeneration study and to assess their suitability as clinical trial endpoints.
Design: Prospective natural history study.
Participants: Participants (n = 105) with biallelic disease-causing sequence variants in USH2A and BCVA letter scores of ≥54 were included.
Methods: BCVA, FST, fundus-guided microperimetry, static perimetry, and spectral domain OCT were performed annually and ERG at baseline and 4 years only. Mixed effects models were used to estimate annual rates of change with 95% confidence intervals. Associations of change from baseline to 4 years between BCVA, FST, ERG, and other metrics were assessed with Spearman correlation coefficients (r).
Main Outcome Measures: Best-corrected visual acuity, FST, and ERG.
Results: The annual rate of decline in BCVA was 0.83 (95% confidence interval: 0.65-1.02) letters/year. For FST, the change was 0.09 (0.07-0.11) log cd.s/m/year for white threshold, 0.10 (0.08-0.12) log cd.s/m/year for blue threshold, and 0.05 (0.04-0.06) log cd.s/m/year for red threshold. Changes were 22.6 (17.4-28.2)%/year for white threshold, 26.0 (20.3-32.1)%/year for blue threshold, and 12.3 (8.7-16.0)%/year for red threshold. The high percentage of eyes with undetectable ERGs at baseline limited assessment of change.
Conclusions: Best-corrected visual acuity was not a sensitive measure of progression over 4 years. Full-field stimulus threshold was a more sensitive measure; however, additional information on the clinical relevance of changes in FST is needed before this test can be adopted as an endpoint for clinical trials.

Helsinki Retina Research Group, University of Helsinki, Finland.
Topic: To compare the outcomes of surgical approaches to correct ametropia following cataract and lens surgery.
Clinical Relevance: Despite advancements in the field of biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas, complete elimination of refractive surprises following cataract and lens surgery is impossible. Preferred Practice Patterns acknowledges the possibility of refractive surprise following cataract surgery; however, no recommendations regarding the preferred treatment have been given.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive value of the preoperative orientation and offset of angle alpha(chord alpha) and angle kappa(chord mu) for visual outcomes in patients who underwent trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: Patient records of eyes that underwent AT LISA tri 839MP implantation were retrospectively collected and grouped according to the preoperative offset and orientations of chord alpha and chord mu. The two-dimensional location of each angle was described by the interaction of the orientation and offset.
