Purpose: This study prospectively assessed the refractive and astigmatism prediction accuracy of intraoperative aberrometry, Optiwave Refractive Analysis (ORA), in eyes implanted with Clareon toric intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Patients And Methods: Patients with age-related cataracts who underwent phacoemulsification and toric IOL implantation using ORA were prospectively included in this single-center study. The absolute refractive prediction error (RPE) and rate of RPE for ORA, Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraft/Theoretical (SRK/T), and Barrett Universal II were evaluated 3 months after surgery. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), residual astigmatism, refractive astigmatism prediction error, and the difference between the preoperatively planned axis and actual inserted axis recommended by ORA were assessed.
Results: Eighty eyes (80 patients, mean age: 75.0 ± 8.8 years) were included in this study. Mean ± standard deviation (SD) of preoperative corneal astigmatism was 1.91 ± 1.03 D. The median absolute RPE values for ORA, SRK/T, and Barrett Universal II were 0.17, 0.14, and 0.14 D, respectively. At the 3-month follow-up after surgery, the mean ± SD of UCVA and residual astigmatism were 0.06 ± 0.16 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution and 0.43 ± 0.48 D, respectively. The refractive astigmatism prediction errors were 0.11 D in the centroid for both ORA and the Barrett toric formula, at 67° and 63°, respectively. The mean absolute values were 0.38 D for ORA and 0.41 D for the Barrett toric formula. The median absolute value of the axis difference between the planned and actual inserted axes based on ORA was 4.00°.
Conclusion: The accuracy of ORA in the prediction of spherical refraction and astigmatism was comparable to that of the preoperative IOL calculation formula in eyes with Clareon toric IOLs. ORA is a useful tool for determining IOL power and improving preoperative corneal astigmatism.

Purpose: To evaluate the time required for refractive error (RE) stabilization after standard phacoemulsification cataract surgery and identify preoperative factors influencing this duration.
Methods: This prospective case series study enrolled patients who had undergone phacoemulsification cataract surgery. RE stabilization was defined as 0.

Purpose: To compare postoperative astigmatism and visual acuity (VA) outcomes in patients undergoing penetrating keratoplasty (PK) using a liquid-interface femtosecond laser (LI-fs) trephination and a conventional vacuum-trephine (VT) technique.
Methods: Our single-center, retrospective data analysis included 121 eyes (121 patients) treated between April 2014 and November 2022. Patients received PK either with a LI-fs or a VT system.

Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of DIMS (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) in comparison to control group (CTRL) in a wide age group of European progressive myopes (6-26 years).
Methods: In this prospective, non-randomised observational study, 78 myopes with progression myopia to -0.25 to -8.

Purpose This study aims to compare the initial three-month outcomes of a single-center experience with small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism using the VisuMax 500 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) versus the VisuMax 800 (SMILE Pro®; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). This experience is compared to the US Food and Drug Administration approval studies and published literature. Patients and methods The initial 45 eyes (23 patients) that underwent SMILE with the VisuMax 500 in 2018 were compared with the initial 42 eyes (21 patients) that underwent SMILE Pro® with the VisuMax 800 in 2024.

Purpose: To present a case of synthetic intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) intrusion secondary to necrosis and migration, managed by implantation of corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments (CAIRS) within the preexisting tunnel.
Methods: A 24-year-old man with known keratoconus underwent bilateral ICRS implantation. He presented with blurred vision in the right eye 6 weeks after the procedure.
