In general, such methods as interferometers or wavefront sensors are commonly used for testing of an optical system and optical components. In these cases, the surrounding environments are unlikely to affect the measurements. On the other hand, intraocular lenses of hydrophilic materials with special properties experience a certain difficulty in testing the optical properties. An intraocular lens is dried in the air, which causes deformation and changes the optical characteristics such as index of refraction and thickness. Thus, it is hard to measure the optical characteristics of an intraocular lens by using common methods. In this study, a special structure is used for measuring of the transmission wavefront aberration and effective focal length of an intraocular lens of hydrophilic materials by using a Shark-Hartmann sensor among the various measuring methods. As an application of this measuring method, this study shows a simple method to measure the index of refraction of unknown liquids with a plano-convex lens with a well known index of refraction. Also, this method is used to measure the optical properties of a plano-convex such as index of refraction and curvature by using a liquid with a well known index of refraction.

목적: 백내장수술 후 다초점인공수정체인 BunnyLens $MF^{(R)}$를 삽입한 환자의 수술 전과 수술 후 근거리 및 원거리에서의 시력교정에 관한 임상적 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: 백내장으로 진단을 받고 다초점인공수정체 삽입술을 시행한 환자 중에서 $ReSTOR^{(R)}$를 삽입한 39안을 대조군, BunnyLens $MF^{(R)}$를 삽입한 26안을 실험군으로 분류하여, 총 65안을 분석하였다. 수술 전과 수술 후 1주째, 8주째, 24주째의 원거리 및 근거리 시력과 난시, 구면렌즈대응치, 대비감도를 비교하고, 두 군 간의 수술 후 임상적 유용성을 비교하였다. 결과: 두 군 모두에서 술 전에 비해 술 후 원거리 및 근거리 시력, 구면렌즈대응치가 유의하게 향상되었으나(p<0.05), 두 군 간의 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 수술 후 원거리 및 근거리 평균 시력과 난시, 대비감도는 대조군과 실험군은 두 군 간 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 구면렌즈대응치의 평균실제오차는 $ReSTOR^{(R)}$와 BunnyLens $MF^{(R)}$는 수술 24주째, 각각 $-0.17{\pm}0.50D$, $-0.34{\pm}0.52D$였고 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 결론: 백내장수술 후에 삽입되는 다초점인공수정체인 BunnyLens $MF^{(R)}$는 원거리 및 근거리 시력에서 $ReSTOR^{(R)}$와 유의한 차이가 없었고, 정시안을 기준으로 통계적으로 유의하지는 않으나, $ReSTOR^{(R)}$에 비해 BunnyLens $MF^{(R)}$가 근시의 경향을 보였다.

인공수정체로 사용되고 있는 소수성 아크릴 하이드로겔의 단백질 흡착 감소와 기능을 향상시키기 위한 하이드로겔을 제조하여 인공수정체로의 응용성을 살펴보고자 한다. 소수성 아크릴 인공수정체는 ethyleneglycol phenyletheracrylate(EGPEA), Styrene, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA)를 사용하여 제작하였고 첨가제로 polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP)와 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine(MPC)를 사용하였다. 인공수정체의 물리적 특성을 평가하기 위해 함수율, 습윤성, 광투과율 및 단백질 흡착량을 측정하였다. 첨가제를 넣은 모든 시료의 함수율과 습윤성은 증가하였고 단백질 흡착량은 감소하였다. 특히 MPC가 포함된 시료의 단백질 흡착량은 더욱 감소하였다. PVP와 MPC를 첨가한 소수성 아크릴 하이드로겔은 기본적인 물리적 특성을 가지면서 단백질 흡착을 감소시킴으로써 기능이 향상된 인공수정체로의 응용이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review previous literature with an aim to explore the sleep disturbance level after a patient undergoes cataract surgery using an integrative review. Methods: We used the key words, 'cataract surgery', 'sleep', and 'intraocular lens' to find peer-reviewed publications in seven databases. Among 450 searched articles, eight articles were selected after exclusion of articles that did not meet the criteria. Results: Five of the articles submitted that subjective sleep quality of the patients with blue-filtering intraocular lens (BF-IOL) implant improved as compared to that before surgery. The change of saliva melatonin concentration after BF-IOL implant did not coincide in two of the articles. Two of the articles reported an increased level of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells response after BF-IOL implantation. Conclusion: The published studies stated that BF-IOL implant did not have any negative impact on quality of sleep among cataract patients suffering with poor sleep. Rregardless of intraocular lens type, cataract surgery may increase photoreception of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells one year after surgery although the mechanism was not clear. It is necessary to identify various factors influencing the quality of sleep such as gender and activities among cataract patients with BF-IOL implant in the future.

Background and Objectives To evaluate the rotational stability of AcrySof toric intraocular lenses (IOL) by considering lapse of postoperative time and influence of capsulorhexis contraction. Materials and Methods A prospective, masked, single center study was conducted on 19 patients who had undergone microcoaxial cataract surgery and AcrySof toric IOL implantation. Slit-lamp retroillumination photographs of anterior segments were obtained from all patients after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months post-surgery. The degree of alteration of the postoperative IOL axis alignment and the amount of anterior capsular shrinkage were analyzed using Adobe Photoshop software. Results The mean degree of toric IOL axis misalignment was 2.18 (±20.2) degrees at 3 months follow-up. Quadrant analysis of the capsulorhexis aperture area at 1 week and 1 month post-operative, showed counterclockwise IOL rotation when the capsule contraction was dominant in the haptic part as well as clockwise rotation when dominant in the non-haptic part (p = 0.015). Conclusion The direction and degree of AcrySof toric IOL rotation differed throughout the follow-up period. Since most misalignments were found on the first post-operative day, physicians should try to minimize peri-operative risk factors that influence IOL rotation. There was also a correlation between the part of anterior capsule contraction and the direction of IOL rotation.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare published methods of calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power following myopic laser refractive surgery. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the medical records of 69 patients (69 eyes) who had undergone myopic laser refractive surgery previously and subsequently underwent cataract surgery at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, South Korea from January 2010 to June 2016. None of the patients had pre-refractive surgery biometric data available. The Haigis-L, Shammas, Barrett True-K (no history), Wang-Koch-Maloney, Scheimpflug total corneal refractive power (TCRP) 3 and 4 mm (SRK-T and Haigis), Scheimpflug true net power, and Scheimpflug true refractive power (TRP) 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm (SRK-T and Haigis) methods were employed. IOL power required for target refraction was back-calculated using stable post-cataract surgery manifest refraction, and implanted IOL power and formula accuracy were subsequently compared among calculation methods. Results: Haigis-L, Shammas, Barrett True-K (no history), Wang-Koch-Maloney, Scheimpflug TCRP 4 mm (Haigis), Scheimpflug true net power 4 mm (Haigis), and Scheimpflug TRP 4 mm (Haigis) formulae showed high predictability, with mean arithmetic prediction errors and standard deviations of $-0.25{\pm}0.59$, $-0.05{\pm}1.19$, $0.00{\pm}0.88$, $-0.26{\pm}1.17$, $0.00{\pm}1.09$, $-0.71{\pm}1.20$, and $0.03{\pm}1.25$ diopters, respectively. Conclusions: Visual outcomes within 1.0 diopter of target refraction were achieved in 85% of eyes using the calculation methods listed above. Haigis-L, Barrett True-K (no history), and Scheimpflug TCRP 4 mm (Haigis) and TRP 4 mm (Haigis) methods showed comparably low prediction errors, despite the absence of historical patient information.

당뇨병을 가진 백내장 환자에 있어서 수정체낭외적출술 및 후방인공수정체삽입술후 당뇨망막증의 경과변화, 시력의 예후, 시력의 예후 및 망막증의 진행에 영향을 미치는 관련인자들에 대한 후향적 조사를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 백내장수술을 한 눈의 경우 전체 24안중 11안(46%)에서 망막증이 진행하였으며 수술을 하지 않은 눈의 경우 망막증의 진행을 보인 경우는 4안(17%)이였다. 2. 백내장수술후 시력이 향상되었던 경우는 24안 중 22안(92%)이였으나 이중 0.5이하가 12안, 0.1이하가 3안이였다. 3. 술후 망막증의 진행이 있었던 경우 여자는 11안 중 7안, 남자는 13안 중 4안이였으며 경구 혈당강하제를 사용하는 환자가 인슐린 투여군보다 망막증의 진행이 더욱 많았다. 4. 본 연구의 결과 백내장수술은 당뇨망막증의 진행을 더욱 촉진시키며 경구혈당강하제의 사용, 그리고 여자환자에서 망막증의 진행이 더욱 빈번히 나타났으며 이는 시력의 예후를 나쁘게 하는 인자로 작용하였다.
