To evaluate the treatment with topical 1% cyclosporine A (CsA) in patients subepithelial corneal infiltrates (SEIs).We retrospectively reviewed records of 9 (12 eyes) before and after CsA eyedrops twice daily. All had been treated corticosteroids previously without improvement or to stop medication secondary intraocular pressure elevation. The objective data recorded included best-corrected Snellen visual acuity, pressure, number medications use, evaluation severity SEIs (improved, stable,...

To describe our experience with monovision excimer laser correction in individuals myopic presbyopia.This prospective interventional case series was conducted a private refractive surgery center on 40 patients presbyopia aged years and older, who were treated between 2010 2011. The dominant eye corrected for distance vision the nondominant near vision, anisometropia of ≥1.00 diopters (D). All underwent comprehensive objective subjective visual assessments, including questionnaire that filled...

To evaluate the agreement in biometry measurements and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations between 2 integrated swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) tomography/biometry devices: Eyestar 900 Anterion.Tel Aviv Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel.Retrospective comparative study.113 eyes of 66 consecutive patients who were evaluated prior to cataract surgery using both devices on same visit included. Measurements axial length, anterior posterior keratometry, chamber depth,...

In cataract surgery, inadequate pupil dilation presents a major surgical challenge by narrowing the operation field and restricting visibility movement. We aim to compare surgery complication rates clinical outcomes using different expansion methods. This retrospective cohort study grouped patients according four techniques of mechanical techniques: sphincterotomy (N = 339), iris stretching 242), hooks 391) rings 294). Incidences odds ratios for complications were compared between groups....

Abstract Objectives To assess the relationship between atopic disease and astigmatism in adolescence young adulthood. Methods In this population-based cross-sectional study 897,811 medical records of Israeli adolescents adults without keratoconus were reviewed. The prevalence low-to-moderate (3.00 &gt; D ≥ 0.75) high ( 3.00 D) calculated cases with disease, including ocular (OAD), asthma, allergic rhinitis, dermatitis, angioedema/urticaria, history anaphylaxis. Relationships analysed using...

Purpose: To report the effect of superficial keratectomy combined with subconjunctival bevacizumab injection in 2 cases corneal neovascularization (NV). Methods: An interventional case series was undertaken on patients NV: 1 due to sclerokeratitis secondary rheumatoid arthritis and other Terrien marginal degeneration. Both underwent (2.5 mg/0.1 mL). Results: Corneal NV regressed surgical removal showed no signs recurrence after 3 months follow-up. reported dramatic subjective improvement...

Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcome and patient satisfaction after a unilateral multifocal IOL implantation in non-dominant eye of emmetropic patients with presbyopia. Methods: An interventional case series consecutive who underwent phacoemulsification femto-laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) refractive lens exchange (RLE), followed by an trifocal diffractive (FineVision Micro F), was performed eyes After 6 months follow-up, main measures were uncorrected distance acuity (UDVA),...

Aim: To evaluate patients’ perspectives on endothelial keratoplasty and to compare the outcomes of deep lamellar (DLEK) Descemet stripping automated (DSAEK), performed in same patients. Methods: A fellow eye, comparative retrospective case series. The records 14 patients (28 eyes) who underwent DLEK one eye DSAEK surgery their between 2003 2007 were reviewed. Two excluded from study. Both these techniques compared for intra- postoperative complications, visual refractive including...

Purpose. To report on the association between Multivisc BD and toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) post phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Methods.
