This literature review analyzed the possible mechanisms of the influence of the design features and optical characteristics of monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) on the characteristics of sensorineural adaptation and visual rehabilitation in patients after cataract phacoemulsification. Bibliographic research of scientific publications was carried out in the following databases: Medline, Pubmed, Cochrane, eLibrary. Languages of publications: Russian and English. The literature review reflects research data on the physicochemical properties, optical surface and color of the IOL filter, spatial contrast sensitivity and wavefront aberrations. Analysis of domestic and foreign literature has demonstrated the absence of a systematic approach to the study of sensorineural adaptation in patients after implantation of monofocal IOLs, which would make it possible to reasonably develop requirements for qualitative and constructive characteristics in the production of intraocular lenses to improve the quantitative and qualitative indicators of their visual functions in order to reduce the terms of rehabilitation and improvement of quality of life indicators in patients with pseudophakia. At the same time, there is an obvious need for research on the influence of the design and quality characteristics of optical intraocular implants on the subjective “quality of vision” of patients with pseudophakia, which is, ultimately, the target indicator of cataract surgery at the present stage. Also, the key mechanisms of neurosensory rehabilitation and adaptation of patients who underwent cataract surgery need to be studied and clarified in order to develop recommendations for the production of intraocular implants.

Objective. To evaluate the postoperative visual quality of cataract patients with extreme myopia after implantation of aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs). Methods. Thirty-three eyes were enrolled in this prospectivestudy. Eighteen eyes with an axial length longer than 28 mm were included in the extreme myopia group, and the other 15 eyes were included in the nonextreme myopia group. Phacoemulsification and aspheric IOL implantation were performed. Six months after cataract surgery, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, and wavefront aberrations were measured, and subjective visual quality was assessed. Results. The BCVA improved significantly after surgery for both groups, and patients in the nonextreme myopia group achieved better postoperative BCVA due to better retinal status of the eyes. The evaluation of contrast sensitivity without glare was the same in both groups, whereas patients in the nonextreme myopia group performed better at intermediate spatial frequencies under glare conditions. The two groups did not show a significant difference in high-order aberrations. With regard to subjective visual quality, the composite scores of both groups did not differ significantly. Conclusions. Aspheric IOLs provided good visual outcomes in cataract patients with extreme myopia. These patients should undergo careful evaluation to determine the maculopathy severity level before surgery.

Purpose: To describe a patient complaining of ‘ghosting' and ‘shadowing' after bilateral, sequential cataract extraction with toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation who was found to have significant eyelid ptosis. Methods: The following is a case report. Results: The patient's complaints arose a few weeks after surgery. By the second postoperative month, the patient's keratometry had changed compared to preoperative measurements. Because of significant ptosis, the patient underwent upper eyelid surgery. Four months later, he was found to have less corneal astigmatism than had been measured prior to cataract surgery. Following 2 stable examinations, a Prevue lens based on Hartmann-Shack wavefront aberrometry was made for each eye, which the patient said significantly improved his quality of vision. Wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was performed 6 months after cataract surgery. One year after PRK, the patient's symptoms had disappeared, his uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/15 in the left, and he was satisfied with his quality of vision. Conclusions: Bilateral toric IOLs were implanted in this patient based on measurements of corneal astigmatism that changed after cataract surgery and changed further after ptosis repair. This case demonstrates the importance of evaluating eyelid position in cataract surgical planning as ptosis can contribute significantly to corneal astigmatism. Patient education is important in the setting of higher expectations from purchase of premium lens implants.

ABSTRACT Aim This observational clinical case series examined patients with keratoconus (KC) fit with keratoconic bi-aspheric (KBA) lenses to assess visual acuity (VA), wavefront aberrations, physiological fitting, subjective comfort, and manufacturer's fitting guidelines. Materials and methods Seven adult patients (11 eyes, four females, mean age: 34.15 ± 14.12) with nipple cones from the Hadassah Academic College contact lens clinic (Jerusalem, Israel) were fit with KBA lenses by modifying the initial base curve (BC) to obtain an acceptable physiological fit. The uncorrected and corrected distance (D) and near (N) Snellen VA and the ocular wavefront measurements, and responses to a self-administered five-point scale questionnaire were compared after 2 weeks of wear using paired two-tailed t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, as appropriate. Results Visual acuity and total root mean square (RMS) improved significantly with the lenses (DVAuncorrected = 0.04 ± 0.02, DVAcorrected = 0.66 ± 0. 22, NVAuncorrected = 0.34 ± 0.30, NVAcorrected = 0.95 ± 0.12). Subjects reported an average of 7.0 ± 2.7 hours of wear daily, with good scores in visual stability, satisfaction with VA and quality of vision, improvement of mood and quality of life, and low scores in foreign body sensation, pain, red eye, and itching during wear, and difficulty with lens removal. An average of two BC modifications from the diagnostic lens were necessary (0.16 mm steeper in nine eyes, 0.27 mm flatter in two eyes). Conclusion Keratoconic bi-aspheric lenses can provide 7 hours of comfortable wear, significantly improved VA and total RMS aberrations, alongside subjective satisfaction. Base curve modifications can be reduced by fitting a diagnostic lens 0.75 mm steeper than the flattest keratometry reading.
