PURPOSE To assess the biomechanical and keratometric effects and the safety of treatment of progressive keratoconus with UV-riboflavin collagen cross-linking (CXL). METHODS This is a prospective clinical controlled study. Fourteen eyes of 14 patients with progressive keratoconus were treated with CXL after corneal deepithelization. Patients were assessed preoperatively, at week 1 and at month...

Over the last two decades, there has been growing interest in assessing corneal biomechanics different diseases, such as keratoconus, glaucoma, and disorders. Given interaction structural continuity between cornea sclera, evaluating may give us further insights into pathogenesis, diagnosis, progression, management of glaucoma. Therefore, some authorities have recommended baseline evaluations al...

PURPOSE The aim of the study reported here was to evaluate characteristics of the anterior-segment via anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and corneal biomechanical properties using an ocular response analyzer and their changes by peripheral laser iridotomy (PI) in patients with pigmentary glaucoma (PG). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen eyes with PG were included consecutive...

BACKGROUND Corneal biomechanical properties are always compromised after corneal refractive surgeries thus leading to underestimated intraocular pressure (IOP) that complicates the management of IOP. We investigated the changes in postoperative baseline of IOP values measured with noncontact tonometer (NCT), ocular response analyzer (ORA) and corvis scheimpflug technology (CST) in the early pha...

Background: To evaluate the agreement in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and Tono-Pen XL (TXL) with the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) and to examine corneal biomechanical properties in aphakic glaucoma patients with a central corneal thickness (CCT) >600 µ. Methods: Thirty-six eyes of aphakic glaucoma patients (group 1) and 40 eyes of normal chil...
