Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the impact of mild visual acuity loss on the Müller-Lyer illusion in adults and evaluate its potential as a clinical indicator for visual-cognitive integration mechanisms.
Methods: Three experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 measured illusion intensity in 49 young adults (25.08 ± 3.38 years) before and after inducing transient visual acuity loss (0.40 logMAR) via Bangerter occlusion foils. Experiment 2 compared 26 cataract patients (65.19 ± 3.87 years) with 59 age-matched controls (63.98 ± 5.57 years). Experiment 3 tracked 14 cataract patients (69.50 ± 6.14 years) pre- and post-surgery. Illusion intensity was quantified using a two-alternative forced-choice task.
Results: Illusion intensity remained stable across conditions: no differences were observed before /after wearing occlusion glasses (4.33% vs 3.75%, = 0.141), between cataract patients and controls (8.79% vs 8.20%, = 0.301), or pre-/post-surgery (9.46% vs 9.87%, = 0.357). However, normally-sighted elderly participants exhibited stronger illusions than young adults (8.20% vs 4.33%, < 0.001). Multivariate regression confirmed age as the sole predictor of illusion intensity ( = 0.088, = 0.001), independent of visual acuity.
Conclusion: The intensity of Müller-Lyer illusion in adults is modulated by age but resistant to mild visual acuity loss, implicating its utility in studying visual-cognitive integration.

Department of Ophthalmology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Peking Union Medical College Hospital, No. 1 Shuaifuyuan Wangfujing Dongcheng District, China, 100730, Beijing.
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.

Purpose: To investigate the mechanism, intraoperative characteristics, management, and prevention of incision capsular bag herniation (ICBH), a previously unreported complication during cataract surgery in eyes with lens subluxation.
Methods: A retrospective observational case series was conducted on five male patients who developed ICBH during phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation between January 2019 and December 2024. Among 867 subluxated-lens surgeries performed during this period, the estimated incidence of ICBH was 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.
