Evaluation of the binocularity of 147 unilateral and bilateral pseudophakic patients.
Tests of binocular functions were performed on a group of 147 patients with unilaterally or bilaterally implanted intraocular lenses. The quality of the binocular vision achieved was significantly better than that of unilateral aphakic patients wearing contact lenses. Compared to the normal population, the stereoscopic threshold in the pseudophakic population was found to be slightly poorer. Visual acuity, anisometropia, lens fixation, and vertical deviation were analyzed in relation to stereopsis.

Intraocular lenses and their follow-up in the optometric office.
A broad overview of intraocular lens implantation is presented for the optometrist. Included in this overview is a review of the most recent literature comparing complication rates for lens implants versus standard cataract surgery. A proportion of the paper addresses itself to the pre and post-operative optometric management of the pseudophakic patient. This paper is presented to give the optometrist a basic understanding of the expanding field of intraocular lens implantation as well as a reference list which will serve as a starting point for further review.
Evaluation of 225 consecutive intraocular-lens implants.
A retrospective study of the first 225 intraocular lens implants (IOL) performed by a single surgeon was conducted for this report. In complication rate and visual acuity assessed 4.5 months postoperatively, these patients (pseudophakes) compared very closely with 2 populations of aphakic patients who had had phacoemulsification surgery without lens implantation by the same surgeon. The majority of pseudophakes were left with moderate to low refractive errors. Patient satisfaction was found to be high. It appears that implantation of iris and capsular fixated intraocular lenses is a comparatively safe and in many cases advantageous procedure.

Distributions of total skin surface area to body weight ratios for use in dermal exposure assessments.
Surface area to body weight ratios were calculated for three age groups of the population using direct measurement data reported in the scientific literature. A strong negative correlation was observed between these ratios and age, and ratios did not differ as a function of sex. Distribution data for surface area to body weight ratios are presented for three age groups. Because of the strong correlation between these two factors, the use of these distributions in human exposure/risk assessments using point estimation techniques and/or Monte Carlo simulations may be more appropriate than treating surface area and body weight as independent variables.
