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.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking for postoperative LASIK ectasia after 2 years.A prospective, single-center case series was performed with patients treated ectasia. All eyes underwent (CCL-Vario Crosslinking; Peschke Meditrade GmbH, Zurich, Switzerland) at 9 mW/cm(2) 10 minutes. The main outcome measures were changes in uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected central thickness, topography, endothelial cell density. These parameters...
PURPOSE: To determine how photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and mitomycin C (MMC) affect corneal nerves their regeneration over time after surgery. METHODS: Twenty-eight New Zealand rabbits had epithelial scraping with (n = 3) without MMC 0.02% or −9.00 diopter PRK 6) 16) 0.02%. Corneas were removed death nerve morphology was evaluated using acetylcholinesterase immunohistochemistry beta-III tubulin staining 1 day for all groups, month MMC, 2, 3, 6 months MMC. Image-Pro software (Media...
PURPOSE: To analyze the safety and efficacy of standard corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in advanced cases progressive keratoconus after 4 years follow-up. METHODS: A retrospective case series patients with (stages 3 Amsler-Krumeich classification) underwent CXL treatment. The parameters examined were changes uncorrected visual acuity (UDVA), corrected (CDVA), keratometry values (mean, flat, steep, apical), pachymetry, endothelial cell count at baseline 12, 24, 48 months postoperatively....
PURPOSE: To characterize the location and regularity of opaque bubble layer (OBL) in corneal stroma after femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (FS-LASIK) flap generation. METHODS: In this prospective study, 30 eyes 15 patients who had FS-LASIK surgery for myopia, astigmatism, and/or hyperopia were included. Screen captures obtained at end creation with hard type OBL immediately imaged anterior segment optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: The mean age 9 men 6 women was 40 ± 11.3 years (range:...
