Aim to evaluate the anatomical and morphological outcomes of modified femtolaser refractive autokeratoplasty in patients with stage II keratoconus.
 Material methods. The study included 24 diagnosed keratoconus according Amsler Krumeich classification. All underwent (FRAK) a technique.
 Results. operated noted an improvement visual functions on first day after surgery. obtained images...

keratoconus is a non-inflammatory, progressive thinning process of the cornea. it is a relatively common disorder of unknown etiology that can involve each layer of the cornea and often leads to high myopia and astigmatism. computer- assisted corneal topography devices are valuable diagnostic tools for the diagnosis of subclinical keratoconus and for tracking the progression of the disease. the...

This book, with contributions by some distinguished ophthalmologists, neatly summarizes some of the recent advances in corneal diseases and their management. The opening chapter by Dua and Said, is an appropriate introduction to the book, dealing as it does with the fundamental basics of ocular health – the tear film, conjunctiva, the limbus with its reservoir of stem cells and corneal nerves. ...

the porcine eye is often used as an ex vivo animal model in ophthalmological research. it is well-suited for investigations concerning refractive surgery; however, corneal topography data are scarce. this study investigated the corneal topography and pachymetry of the porcine eye to provide further reproducible data. we evaluated freshly enucleated porcine eyes (n = 16) by performing computeriz...
