Abstract
The study enrolled 107 patients with a mean age of 69.9 years +/- 7.7 (SD). The image quality was sufficient for IOL rotation analysis in 91% of eyes. The mean rotation between the first day postoperatively and 120 to 180 days was 1.93 +/- 2.33 degrees, with 96% of IOLs rotating fewer than 5 degrees...

Abstract
The precision of the PCI measurements was extremely high for AL with low fluctuations (95% limits of agreement [LoA], 0.06 mm) and was relatively high for K readings with higher fluctuations (95% LoA, 0.55 D) and for ACD (95% LoA, 0.2 mm). The precision of astigmatism and cylinder axis was high in f...

Myopia is more common in young Polish patients than in the general US population. The strong hyperopic shift in older patients may either be no...

Abstract
Toric error was reduced in each of the patients and refractions remained stable for the 9 month follow-up period. Achieved spherical equivalent manifest refraction (MRSE) was within 0.25 D of targeted emmetropia. All five patients improved their UCVA to >or=20/25 (

Abstract
DLEK provides good visual acuity (> or =20/40) for the majority of patients at 1 year with stable refractive error compared with baseline. Refractive stability was observed with both large- and small-incision DLEKs; however, worrisome endothelial cell loss was observed, especially with a small-incis...

Abstract
From those recruited, 15.2% were hypermetropic; 11.1% were myopic; and 6.2% had astigmatism. Participants became progressively more hypermetropic with increasing age until the age of 70 years, after which time they become more myopic. Furthermore, there was an increasing likelihood of myopia and a d...

Abstract
Even in the youngest age group, astigmats tested with astigmatism correction showed reduced acuity for both V and H gratings, which suggests that astigmatism is having a negative influence on visual development. We found no evidence of orientation-related differences in astigmatism-corrected grating...

Abstract
Corneal biomechanical properties measured by corneal hysteresis and corneal resistance factor were decreased at 10 days after LASIK. Minimal recovery (approximately 10% of the changes) was achieved by 3 months. The changes in biomechanical properties may affect IOP measurement.
