Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffect of steepest-meridian clear corneal incision for reducing preexisting corneal astigmatism using a meridian-marking method or surgeon's intuition.
To compare the effect of steepest-meridian clear corneal incisions (CCIs) for reducing preexisting corneal astigmatism between a meridian-marking method and a surgeon's-intuition method. ⋯ The physical meridian misalignment of steepest-meridian CCI was significantly smaller with the meridian-marking method than with the surgeon's-intuition method; however, the effect of the difference was not large enough to decrease remaining astigmatism and HOAs or to improve the UDVA.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of analgesic effect of preoperative topical diclofenac and ketorolac on postoperative pain after photorefractive keratectomy.
To investigate changes in the pain-suppressing potency of 2 preoperatively applied topical nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) using a time-serial pain-scoring system. ⋯ No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEfficacy of surgical simulator training versus traditional wet-lab training on operating room performance of ophthalmology residents during the capsulorhexis in cataract surgery.
To compare the operating room performance of ophthalmology residents trained by traditional wet-lab versus surgical simulation on the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) portion of cataract surgery. ⋯ No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEffectiveness and safety of femtosecond laser-assisted lens fragmentation and anterior capsulotomy versus the manual technique in cataract surgery.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of cataract surgery using femtosecond laser-assisted lens fragmentation and anterior capsulotomy versus manual cataract surgery. ⋯ The femtosecond laser platform was effective and safe in cataract surgery, reducing EPT and the mean phaco energy during lens fragmentation and providing precise and reproducible capsulotomies.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of the efficacy of povidone-iodine 1.0%, 5.0%, and 10.0% irrigation combined with topical levofloxacin 0.3% as preoperative prophylaxis in cataract surgery.
To compare the efficacy of povidone-iodine 1.0%, 5.0%, and 10.0% in combination with topical levofloxacin 0.3% in reducing the preoperative conjunctival bacterial load before cataract surgery. ⋯ No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.
