The Acri.LISA 366D IOL provided a satisfactory full range of vision; a high level of uncorrected and corrected distance, intermediate, and near acuity; and improved contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions.
Asymmetric bilateral implantation of the Acri. Twin IOL gave good simultaneous distance and near vision with improved contrast sensitivity under photopic and mesopic conditions. Differences between monocular and binocular visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were obtained because of the distance-/near-weighted light distribution of Acri. Twin IOLs.
Background: Our objective was to provide consensus recommendations on the optimal management of the immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) seen in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) using a multidisciplinary approach, and to develop a simple tool to help earlier recognition and referral of coexisting IMIDs in patients who already have one type of IMID. Methods: A total of 28 experts in the multidisciplinary management of the SpA-associated IMIDs assessed two questionnaires: one with statements focused on the multidisciplinary management of IMIDs, and a second questionnaire focused on questions useful for early recognition and referral. Panelists assessed the statements with a 9-point ordinal scale (1 = strongly disagree, 9 = strongly agree) using a modified Delphi methodology. Results: Consensus was reached on 72 out of the 82 statements (87.8%). Panelists agreed that the multidisciplinary approach to IMIDs is not sufficiently developed. The creation of multidisciplinary IMID units might be necessary. These units might focus primarily on patients with two or more coexisting IMIDs, or on IMIDs that are especially complex from a diagnostic or therapeutic point of view. Specialists who attend to patients with IMIDs should perform a screening for other coexisting IMIDs. A simple tool to help earlier recognition and referral of coexisting IMIDs is proposed. Conclusions: There is a need to improve care for patients with SpA-associated IMIDs. We provide expert recommendations to guide the adoption of a multidisciplinary approach for these cases, and a simple tool that may be useful for earlier recognition of coexisting IMIDs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
