PurposeTo investigate corneal astigmatism (CA) reduction and optical quality after surface-penetrating femtosecond laser arcuate keratotomies (Femto AK) considering anterior (CAant) posterior curvature (CApost), total refractive power (CAtot), higher-order aberrations (HOAs) through 1 year.DesignProspective interventional case series.MethodsSetting: Department of Ophthalmology, Medical Universi...

background :in addition to diagnosing the acute myocardial infarction (mi), stratifying high-risk patients and proper treatment strategies are important issues in managing patients complaining of chest pain and suspecting mi. many studies have been conducted to predict the occlusion site by interpreting the st segment deviations in electrocardiogram (ecg).additional posterior and right precordi...

PURPOSE Posterior lamellar grafting of the cornea has become the preferred technique for treatment of corneal endothelial dysfunction. Posterior lamellar grafts are usually cut by a micro-keratome or a femto-second laser after the epithelial side of the donor cornea has been applanated. This approach often results in variable central graft thickness in different grafts and an increase in graft ...

PURPOSE Cornea confocal microscopy is emerging as a clinical tool to evaluate the development and progression of diabetic neuropathy. The purpose of these studies was to characterize the early changes in corneal sensitivity and innervation in a rat model of type 1 diabetes in relation to standard peripheral neuropathy endpoints and to assess the effect of Ilepatril, a vasopeptidase inhibitor wh...

Ichthyosis follicular, alopecia, and photophobia (IFAP) syndrome is a rare disease, with possible X-linked mode of inheritance. The patient presented with ocular findings of photophobia, corneal scarring and erosions, superficial and deep corneal vascularization and myopia. He was treated with artificial tears and punctal occlusion with small improvement of photophobia. After three months using...

Purpose To evaluate corneal transparency following accelerated collagen cross-linking (ACXL) in pediatric keratoconus. Design A prospective interventional case series. Methods This study included 47 eyes (25 patients), aged 9-14 years, with documented progressive keratoconus. After applying 0.1% riboflavin drops, ACXL was performed. Assessment included corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA...
