Summary: In this experiment, four different intraocular lens (IOL) models were compared to evaluate their optical performance. The results showed that all the extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) IOL models had an extended range of focus, with the non-diffractive AcrySof IQ Vivity demonstrating a smoother transition compared to the diffractive models. The study also raised the question of potential increased visual disturbances with the diffractive designs.

Summary: This study assessed and compared the visual performance of two extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses, Tecnis Symfony and Acrysof IQ Vivity. The results showed no significant difference between the two lenses in most measures, except for the near visual acuity at 33 cm, where the Symfony lens performed better. The Symfony lens also demonstrated a smoother defocus curve.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a surge in the availability of different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) for treating presbyopia. Extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) lenses aim to enhance the depth of focus and reduce visual disturbances like glare and halos. However, excessive aberrations can lead to decreased retinal image quality and blur. EDOF characteristics can be combined with multifocality or other optical designs, leading to confusion in the market. This article provides clarification on true EDOF lenses, categorizes different types based on optical principles, and reviews recent outcomes.

Summary: After 15 days of wear, two contact lenses for presbyopia, one with extended depth-of focus design and one conventional multifocal lens, showed similar visual quality, preserved ocular surface integrity, and resulted in similar levels of dry eye symptoms for the patients.

Summary: This study characterizes the optical and visual changes in the short-term wear of a hydrophilic contact lens based on extended focus technology. It finds that the lens improves visual acuity and quality but also leads to increased ocular aberrations and a trend of reduced accommodation lag.

Summary: The study found that AT LARA 829MP provided the widest monocular depth of focus at all distances, while TECNIS Symfony was superior to the monofocal control at 0.3 logMAR. Both EDOF intraocular lenses were significantly better than the monofocal ASPHINA at all levels for binocular depth of focus.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a refractive extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) ophthalmic lens based on a periodic power profile. The proposed design method effectively distributed light energy and provided a continuous depth of focus. However, it showed a slightly higher dependence on changes in pupil size and lens decentration compared to the diffractive trifocal design.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the clinical outcomes of bilateral implantation of different intraocular lenses (IOLs) in Koreans. The study found that all four IOLs showed satisfactory results, with PanOptix and FineVision performing better in near and intermediate vision, and Symfony and MiniWell performing better in intermediate vision. MiniWell also induced fewer dysphotopsia symptoms.

Summary: The study compared the visual performance and quality of life associated with two types of intraocular lenses, EDOF and trifocal IOLs, in refractive lens exchange patients. Results showed satisfactory refractive outcomes and visual acuities for both lens types, with EDOF design in the Lucidis IOL achieving lower rates of glare in the early period after surgery.

Summary: High-end lens objectives in modern machine vision systems provide superior imaging on advanced sensor arrays, thanks to their highly corrected optical aberrations and large apertures. However, their shallow depth of focus is a disadvantage that researchers have been trying to overcome programmatically while compromising image resolution. This paper proposes a simple optical system equipped with novel add-on diffractive elements, enabling highly extended sharp imaging without any pre- or post-processing. The experimental results show improved readability of alphanumerical symbols in a wide range of defocus parameters, and a robust neural network-based image quality assessment method is also introduced.

Summary: This article explores the possibility of extending the depth of focus of an imaging lens using an asymmetric quartic phase-mask, while keeping aberration within a relatively low level. The proposed method is suitable for ophthalmic applications, relying on the patient's neural adaptation to their own aberrations for clear imaging. The numerical and experimental results are validated.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of extended depth of focus intraocular lenses (EDOF IOLs) through a comparative study at the optical bench. The results showed that the different EDOF lenses have varying energy distribution between the far and intermediate ranges.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative outcomes, spectacle dependence, and occurrence of photic phenomena in patients after cataract surgery with a non-diffractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens, monofocal lenses, and multifocal lenses. The results showed that EDOF lenses improved visual acuity at any distance after 6 months, with better contrast sensitivity compared to multifocal lenses and the best monocular visual acuity for near distance provided by multifocal lenses. EDOF lenses significantly reduced dependence on glasses compared to monofocal lenses, while multifocal lenses provided the greatest independence from glasses. The incidence of photic phenomena was higher for multifocal lenses than for monofocal lenses.

Summary: The accuracy and inter and intra-observer reliability of centration assessment of extended depth of focus (EDOF) contact lenses were evaluated using corneal topography in this study. The results showed that the topographic assessment was very accurate in determining the centration of EDOF contact lenses. The inter-observer reliability was good, while the intra-observer reliability was partially affected by the level of clinical experience of the practitioner.

Summary: Younger contact lens wearers tend to prefer single vision lenses, while older wearers have similar experiences with both single vision and multifocal lenses. Some uncomfortable contact lens wearers approaching 40 years old may benefit from wearing a multifocal contact lens earlier in life.

Summary: The eye-tracking-based test (ETBT) was effective in measuring eye deviation in children as young as 1.8 years, with higher repeatability compared to the manual prism alternating cover test (PACT). Age, strabismus type, and eye deviation measurement did not affect the repeatability of ETBT, while in PACT, results could not be correlated between examiners when the deviation was larger than 40 prism diopters.

Summary: This study compared the visual outcomes of a novel binocular eye-tracking-based home treatment (CureSight) with patching in children with amblyopia. The results showed that the binocular treatment was well tolerated and noninferior to patching, providing a potential alternative treatment option for amblyopia.
