To provide an overview of the safety and efficacy mitomycin C (MMC) as adjuvant therapy after refractive surgery procedures.Literature review.Over past 10 years, MMC has been used by surgeons to prophylactically decrease haze surface ablation procedures therapeutically in treatment preexisting haze. Development treatments had a significant role revival techniques. We reviewed literature regarding mechanism action MMC, its modulating wound healing surgery, applied primary photorefractive...
The aim was to report the corneal higher-order aberrations (HOA), topographic metrics, and visual refractive outcomes 2 years after performing collagen crosslinking (CXL) for progressive keratoconus. correlation among HOAs, acuity changes also investigated.This is a prospective case series involving 42 eyes from 32 patients with keratoconus treated CXL. main measured at baseline 6, 12, 24 months treatment were uncorrected distance (UDVA), corrected (CDVA), changes, data, aberrations.Two CXL...
To evaluate the frequency and characteristics of ocular manifestations in outpatients with systemic sclerosis. In this cross-sectional study, 45 patients sclerosis were enrolled. Data regarding demographics, disease duration subtype, age at diagnosis, nailfold capillaroscopic pattern autoantibody profile collected, a full ophthalmic examination was conducted. Parametric (Student's t-test) nonparametric (Mann-Whitney U test) tests used to compare continuous variables. Fisher's exact test...
To assess the ultrastructure of epithelial basement membrane using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in rabbit corneas with and without subepithelial stroma opacity (haze).Two groups eight rabbits each were included this study. Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was performed an excimer laser. The first group had -4.5-diopter (-4.5D) PRK second -9.0D PRK. Contralateral eyes unwounded controls. Rabbits sacrificed at 4 weeks after surgery. Immunohistochemical analysis to detect...
PURPOSE: To investigate the association of percent tissue altered (PTA) with occurrence ectasia after LASIK in eyes suspicious preoperative corneal topography. METHODS: This retrospective comparative case–control study compared associations reported risk factors 129 eyes, including 57 Placido-based topography that developed (suspect group), 32 remained stable for at least 3 years control and 30 bilateral normal (normal group). Groups were subdivided based on topographic asymmetry into high-...
To study regeneration of the normal ultrastructure epithelial basement membrane (EBM) in rabbit corneas that had -9.00 D photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and developed late haze (fibrosis) with restoration transparency over 1 to 4 months after surgery incisional wounds.
PURPOSE: To analyze corneal persistent epithelial defects that occurred at 3 to 4 weeks after −4.50 diopter (D) photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in rabbits and apply this pathophysiology the treatment of occur any manipulations or diseases. METHODS: Two 168 corneas had D PRK study basement membrane regeneration developed spontaneous did not heal PRK. These were studied with slit-lamp photographs, immunohistochemistry for myofibroblast marker alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), transmission...
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of losartan and prednisolone acetate in inhibiting corneal scarring fibrosis after alkali burn injury rabbits. Methods: Sixteen New Zealand White rabbits were included. Alkali injuries produced using 1N sodium hydroxide on a 5-mm diameter Whatman #1 filter paper for 1 minute. Four corneas each group treated six times per day month with 50 µL (1) 0.2 mg/mL balanced salt solution (BSS), (2) 1% acetate, (3) combined or (4) BSS. Area opacity total analyzed...
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) in patients with painful pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK).University São Paulo, Paulo Sadalla Amin Ghanem Eye Hospital, Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil.This prospective study included consecutive eyes PBK that had CXL. After a 9.0 mm epithelial removal, riboflavin 0.1% dextran 20% was applied for 30 minutes followed by ultraviolet-A irradiation (370 nm, 3 mW/cm(2)). Therapeutic contact lenses were placed 1...
PURPOSE: To compare the discriminating ability of corneal elevation generated by a dual Scheimpflug analyzer calculated with different reference surfaces for distinguishing normal corneas from those keratoconus and subclinical keratoconus. METHODS: A total 391 eyes 208 patients were prospectively enrolled in study divided into three groups: 167 113 keratoconus, 47 contralateral topographically clinically evident fellow eye, 177 95 refractive surgery candidates corneas. All measured (GALILEI...
