Factors affecting stromal hydration of clear corneal incision architecture We have some comments about the article by Calladine et al. thatwewould like to sharewith the authors. First, one factor thatmight cause the difference in architecture betweenhydrated clear corneal incisions (CCIs) and nonhydrated CCIs is the corneal stromal edema at the incision site induced by hydration. The authors mi...

BACKGROUND Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) has grown in popularity among ophthalmologists as a novel technique. However, descemet membrane detachment (DMD) began to be found as the complication after FLACS. We report a case of serious DMD following FLACS due to the inappropriate incision design. CASE PRESENTATION An 85-year-old man with apparent cornea arcus senilis underw...

Aim: To evaluate the influence of clear cornea phacoemulsification on filtering bleb morphology, function, and intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous eyes with previously successful filtering surgery. Methods: The clinical course of 30 patients (30 eyes) who underwent clear cornea phacoemulsification after successful filtering glaucoma surgery was prospectively evaluated. Mean IOP and filte...

An 8-month-old female thoroughbred foal was presented showing signs of colic. The foal was anxious,exhibiting signs of abdominal pain and distention. The foal had tachycardia (120 beats/min), tachypnea (40breaths/min). Blood samples obtained for haematologic and serum biochemistry analysis that showed a PCVof 30% and a TPP of 70 g/L. The peritoneal fluid analysis revealed a clear fluid with mil...

The fluorescent dye dichlorotriazinyl aminofluorescein will bind to amino groups of proteins covalently under physiological conditions. It has been used to dye the connective tissue around an ulcer or nonpenetrating, linear incision in the rabbit cornea and sclera, and the healing of the tissue has been examined up to 1 yr later. Sagittal sections were stained for light microscopy, and adjacent...

First conceptualized by Lans, incisional keratotomy is widely used for treating astigmatism, although it is now only infrequently used for treating myopia. The current methods of refractive keratotomy derive from the work of Fyodorov in Russia in the mid-twentieth century. Radial incisions cause the peripheral cornea to bulge outward, producing central flattening. Astigmatic keratotomy (AK) and...

purpose: to compare the efficacy of adding an opposite clear corneal incision (occi) on the steep axis during phacoemulsification in reducing the pre-existing corneal astigmatism. methods: this randomized clinical trial was performed on 120 eyes with corneal astigmatism of >1d undergoing phacoemulsification. incisions were made based on the type of astigmatism as follows: superior or superior+o...

The collagen microstructure of the peripheral cornea is important in stabilizing corneal curvature and refractive status. However, the manner in which the predominantly orthogonal collagen fibrils of the central cornea integrate with the circumferential limbal collagen is unknown. We used microfocus wide-angle x-ray scattering to quantify the relative proportion and orientation of collagen fibr...
