This study was designed to evaluate the correlation between corneal biomechanical and morphological data in healthy eyes, eyes that underwent myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), keratoconus affected collagen crosslinking (CCC). Complete clinical eye examination of all followed by tomographic (Pentacam, Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) (Corvis ST, evaluation. Differences among Corvis ST (CST) parameters different groups have been performed. Linear regression central thickness (CCT),...
To compare the safety and efficacy of 27-gauge (G) pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with 25-G PPV for treatment primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).In this prospective randomized comparative interventional study, 15 eyes from 30 patients were treated 27-G (Group A); other underwent B). All examined preoperatively then 1 day, week, month, 3 months, 6 months after PPV.In each group, reattachment was observed in 14 out surgery. After six both groups showed a statistically significant...
To report an unusual case of corneal graft rejection after yellow fever vaccine.Case report.We have described the a 48-year-old man who developed in left eye 3 weeks vaccination. The ophthalmic examination revealed conjunctival hyperemia, edema with Descemet folds, and fine keratic precipitates. No abnormalities were found right eye. episode fully recovered short course systemic topical steroid treatment.This is first transplant temporally associated Although vaccine very safe efficacious...
The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes a novel artificial endothelial replacement membrane implant for treating corneal edema after failed repeat keratoplasty (EK).
Abstract Background To compare the visual outcome and patients’ satisfaction after ultrathin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (UT-DSAEK) membrane (DMEK) performed on fellow eyes of same patients. Methods In this retrospective study, records 18 pseudophakic patients affected by Fuchs dystrophy who underwent DMEK in one eye UT-DSAEK were reviewed. Best corrected acuity (BCVA), corneal pachymetry, keratometry, aberrations, photopic mesopic contrast sensitivity, cell counts...
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of a single LipiFlow vector thermal pulsation treatment performed before cataract surgery in reducing signs and symptoms postoperative dry eye disease (DED) patients with mild-moderate meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Setting: Eye Clinic, Careggi Hospital, University Florence, Italy. Design: Prospective unmasked randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods: This study included affected by age-related MGD, who were into 2 groups: (1) at 5 preoperative weeks...
The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy perioperative use a hyaluronic acid (HA) and trehalose ophthalmic solution (Thealoz® Duo) in reducing post-cataract surgery dry eye signs symptoms patients with mild/moderate disease (DED). One hundred twenty patients, scheduled for unilateral cataract surgery, were randomized into three groups: (1) group A: HA/trehalose times/day preoperative week 5 postoperative weeks; (2) B: only (3) C: no artificial tears. In groups A B,...
Purpose: Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is currently regarded as the most effective surgical procedure for addressing Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), frequently performed in conjunction with cataract surgery. In this retrospective study, we present a comparison of visual performance, clinical outcomes, and optical quality between two types monofocal Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): one standard enhanced intermediate vision model, implanted patients who underwent...
