Epithelial ingrowth following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK): prevalence, risk factors, management and visual outcomes [PDF]
The number of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) procedures is continuing to rise. Since its first application for correcting simple refractive errors over 25 years ago, the role of LASIK has extended to treat other conditions, including ...

Multifocal intraocular lens exchange to monofocal for the management of neuroadaptation failure
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate visual, refractive, quality of vision, visual function and satisfaction of multifocal intraocular lens (MF-IOL) exchange with a monofocal IOL (MNF-IOL) in dissatisfied patients following MF-IOL ...

Surface Refractive Surgery Outcomes in Israeli Combat Pilots
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) has long been the method of choice for refractive surgery in pilots, and was FDA approved for U.S. Air Force aviators in 2000. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 16 male combat pilots (mean age 25.0 ± 5.5

Changes in forward light scatter parameters as a function of refractive error in young adults [PDF]
Background/aims Some aspects of visual performance worsen with increasing myopia. Whilst the underlying causes are not always clear, reduction in retinal image quality is often attributed to structural changes in the posterior myopic eye.

Refraction problems after refractive surgery
While refractive surgery such as radial keratotomy, epikeratophakia, and corneal relaxing incisions offer many potential benefits to patients, they can also generate optical problems such as overcorrection or undercorrection of the prior refractive error and variable vision.

An artifact in fits to conic-based surfaces [PDF]
It is common in Physiological Optics to fit the corneal and the lens surfaces to conic-based surfaces (usually ellipse-based surfaces), obtaining their characteristic radius of curvature and asphericity.
