purpose : to evaluate the correlation of central corneal thickness (cct) with refractive error and keratometry in a group of patients eligible for laser keratorefractive surgery, which may serve as a bias in studies on intraocular pressure (iop) measurement methods : in a cross sectional observational study, the right eyes of 340 patients who underwent laser keratorefractive surgery during the ...

purpose: to assess the results of combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract extraction by extracapsular extraction versus phacoemulsification and to compare outcomes and complications. methods: in this interventional retrospective study, 76 eyes that had undergone triple surgery were included. cataract surgery was done in two different methods of extracapsular extraction and phacoemulsific...

Cataract surgery due to advances in small incision surgery evolved from a procedure concerned with the primary focus on the safe removal of cataractous lens to a procedure focused on the best possible postoperative refractive result. As the outcomes of cataract surgery became better, the use of lens surgery as a refractive modality in patients without cataracts has increased in interest and in ...

background : phacoemulsification is one of the best surgical treatments for the cataract. secondary to the technicaladvances in estimating the intraocular lens (iol) power, the refractive errors, one of the most important surgical complications after surgery, is now reduced. currently, two methods of biometry are used to calculate the iol power, ultrasound biometry and optical biometry. both me...
