This article explains the clinical applications of Higher Order Aberrations (HOAs) and the optics behind wavefront technologies available to measure them. The goal of Ray-Tracing aberrometry (iTrace) is highlighted in separating the aberrations generated by the cornea from those generated by the lens. The total eye aberrations represent the image on the retina and demonstrate the patient's overall quality of vision.

Purpose: This paper presents our experience with a novel presbyopia correcting laser surgical technique, as it was integrated into our Clinic's refractive portfolio during the past 3 years. Materials and Methods: Starting in 2019, we managed to obtain a significant experience with Presbyond by adapting the patient selection system and preoperative evaluation criteria to the clinical characteristics and set of expectations of Romanian presbyopic patients. Results: The excellent results we obtained, convinced us to integrate Presbyond amongst the high-end refractive surgical procedures we perform in our Clinic and to recommend it as a first line method to achieve spectacle independence for presbyopes who meet the selection criteria. Conclusion: Presbyond represents a minimally invasive, well-tolerated and comfortable laser vision correction procedure, which offers our patients the “wow-effect” as soon as the first day postoperatively, thus ensuring the satisfaction of the medical team.

A case report of a high myopic patient with degenerative myopia, who had initiated a follow-up at the Instituto de Olhos Eduardo Paulino, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and who, despite having improved visual acuity with irian fixation intraocular lenses, continued to present progression of myopia, axial eye growth, eye fundus degeneration and nuclear cataract, which, afterwards, was corrected surgically.
