PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy and safety of accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL) with conventional CXL in pediatric patients keratoconus. METHODS: Consecutive keratoconus received either (9 mW/cm 2 irradiance for 10 minutes) or (3 irradiance) 30 minutes. Visual acuities (uncorrected [UDVA] corrected [CDVA] distance visual acuity, logMAR), spherical error, cylindrical equivalent, keratometric values were recorded. Follow-up measurements compared baseline values. RESULTS: The study...

Abstract This study aims to develop gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)‐based symblepharon rings fortified with l ‐ascorbic acid (lAA), aiming for controlled release of vitamins the treatment ocular surface, corneal healing, and acceleration epithelial growth, while concurrently preventing potential inflammation. The human tears contain abundant IAA, which serves a protective role tissues. utilization 3D printing digital light processing technology not only navigating manufacturing process rings,...

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of repeated corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in eyes with progressive keratoconus after primary CXL. Methods: Twelve 10 patients who underwent CXL were included this study. All cases treated a second when disease progression was noted. Uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected distance and tomography performed before Common risk factors for recorded. Results: The mean age 23.4 ± 6.2 (14–34) years. Eye rubbing detected 6 patients. preoperative...

Purpose: To determine and compare the changes in corneal density after 2 different protocols of accelerated collagen cross-linking (A-CXL) patients with progressive keratoconus. Methods: Two groups eyes received A-CXL treatment; 20 using continuous UVA light exposure at 9 mW/cm for 10 minutes a total energy dose 5.4 J/cm , 24 30 4 7.2 . Corneal was measured Scheimpflug tomography 1, 3, 6, 12 months follow-up. Results: Densitometry peaked 1 month (mean: 16.34 ± 3.80, P = 0.006, 9-mW/cm A-CXL;...

To evaluate the lens edge interaction with ocular surface different designs using optical coherence tomography and to examine effect of power on interactions.Four types silicone hydrogel lenses (round-, semi-round-, chisel-, knife-edged) at six powers (+5.0, +3.0, +1.0, -1.0, -3.0, -5.0 diopters) were fitted both eyes 20 healthy volunteers. Optical images taken corneal center limbus within 15-30 minutes after insertion. The evaluated respect two parameters: conjunctival indentation exerted...

The aim of the study was to assess efficacy a topical regenerating agent (RGTA) for management persistent epithelial defects (PEDs) resistant conventional therapy.Twenty-one patients (23 eyes) with PEDs despite use therapy lagophthalmos (n = 4), neurotrophic ulcer 9), chemical burn 3), Stevens-Johnson syndrome 1), atopic keratoconjunctivitis severe dry eye 2), peripheral ulcerative keratitis fungal and bacterial 1) were enrolled in study. Patients treated RGTA (Cacicol; Thea, Paris, France)...

To evaluate the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation using an optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR) biometer and to compare results with those obtained immersion ultrasound biometry (IUB).Biometric measurements were OLCR IUB combined automated keratometry before cataract surgery. The mean prediction error (MPE) absolute (MAE) calculated for five various IOL formulas (SRK II, SRK/T, Holladay, Hoffer Q, Haigis), two different methods compared.Optical measured a slightly...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect high molecular weight hyaluronan (HMWHA) eye drops on subbasal corneal nerves in patients suffering from severe dry disease (DED) and evaluate damage associated with DED. Designed as an international, multicenter study, 16 symptoms at least Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score 33, fluorescein staining (CFS) Oxford grade 3, were included randomized into two arms. control group continued use their individual optimum artificial tears...

Objectives: To assess the visual performance of a mini-scleral lens in patients with keratoconus and to evaluate its fit by optical coherence tomography (OCT).Materials Methods: Twenty-nine eyes 24 were fitted (Esclera; Mediphacos Inc., Belo Horizonte, Brazil).Diagnostic lenses used initial fitting process.The was evaluated fluorescein pattern also anterior segment OCT (RTVue, Optovue Fremont, CA).Within 30-45 minutes after insertion, parameters including central corneal limbal clearance,...

Abstract Introduction/Aims In patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), axonal spheroids in motor axons have been identified post‐mortem studies. this study, and swellings on C‐fibers of ALS were investigated using corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) skin biopsy, respectively. Methods Thirty‐one 20 healthy subjects evaluated CCM to assess nerve‐fiber length (CNFL), ‐fiber density (CNFD), ‐branch (CNBD), dendritic cell (DC) density, originating from (>100 μm 2 ). addition,...

Purpose: To determine the impact of optical density changes in postlens fluid on clinical performance and to quantify these over time during miniscleral lens wear. Methods: Twenty-three eyes 13 patients with keratoconus were fitted a (scleral Misa lenses; Microlens Contactlens Technology, Arnhem, Netherlands). The fit was evaluated using fluorescein pattern also through anterior segment coherence tomography imaging. measured Scheimpflug at 30 min, 1, 2, 3, 4 hr. High- low-contrast visual...

A 6-year-old boy was referred to our hospital with orbital cellulitis. He had a history of 7 days fever despite antibiotherapy. At first, he only pharyngitis and conjunctivitis, but then an mass evolved which restricted the movement his right eye there also periorbital inflammation resembling Examination at presentation revealed conjunctivitis secretion, periocular edema, right-preauricular lymphadenopathy restriction upgaze in eye.
