Prediction of Monocular Defocus Curves in Pseudophakia with Different Pupil Sizes

Background With the widespread adoption of cataract surgery and lens replacement surgery, the optical performance of intraocular lenses (IOLs) has become increasingly critical in determining patients’ postoperative visual quality. Predicting clinical visual performance (such as visual acuity and defocus range) is an emerging area of interest in oph...

Polarimetric Imaging of Peripheral Nerves: An Intraoperative Aid

Polarimetric Imaging Technology Assisting Intraoperative Peripheral Nerve Identification: A Cutting-Edge Study Peripheral nerves play a crucial role in the sensory and control networks of the human body, and their integrity and proper functioning are essential to our quality of life. Unfortunately, accidental peripheral nerve injuries are not uncom...

Challenging the Skin Pigmentation Bias in Tissue Oximetry via Time-Domain Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Challenging Skin Pigmentation Bias: Application of Time-Domain Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Tissue Oximetry Background and Motivation In recent years, optical technologies have been increasingly utilized in medical diagnostics and therapies. However, varying levels of skin pigmentation (which depend on melanin concentration in the skin) can signif...

Comparative Numerical Analysis of Astigmatism Tolerance in Bifocal, Extended Depth-of-Focus, and Trifocal Intraocular Lenses

Numerical Analysis Enhances Postoperative Visual Assessment and Optimization for Multifocal Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) Introduction and Research Background One of the main goals of cataract surgery is to achieve spectacle-free vision for patients. However, this goal is limited by two major challenges: loss of accommodative function and postoperative...
