Exclusion criteria: complicated anterior segments, previous...
Purpose. To analyze the risk factors associated with a series of ectasia cases following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and all published cases. Methods. In retrospective study on post-PRK patients, 9 eyes 7 patients were included, in addition to 20 13 from literature. Risk was calculated using score system (ERSS) for laser situ keratomileusis (LASIK) patients. The percent tissue altered (PTA) also evaluated. Results. ERSS scoring zero age, RSB, spherical equivalent found 66%, 86%, 86%...
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,...
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 > 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 suggest a new surgical approach for the treatment of failed deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) because posterior opacities or persistent Descemet membrane (DM) detachment and to report outcome femtosecond intralase-enabled endothelial (FE-DMEK) in series patients with DALK graft failure. Methods: A retrospective case eight who underwent FE-DMEK at Toronto Western Hospital. Results: Eight eyes (four female four male) aged 63.91 ± 9.66 years were included. Average follow-up...
Purpose: To present a modified surgical technique to perform Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in previously vitrectomized eyes and analyze its safety efficacy. Methods: A retrospective analysis of that underwent DMEK at Toronto Western Hospital was performed. The used included placement posterior pars plana infusion reduce fluctuations the anterior chamber depth excessive deepening. Results: Twelve 12 patients (5 females 7 males) aged 65.3 ± 21.5 years were included. Mean...
To compare the standard Ishihara booklet with color-vision-testing smartphone applications.A prospective observational diagnostic study on 42 normal trichromats and 38 color-deficient subjects. Patients were presented three color vision tests in random order: an test two applications: Eye2Phone Color Vision Test application (CVT app). Sensitivity specificity of electronic was compared results, each one these applications every plate individually analyzed for success/failure rate.Average age...
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) with membrane (DMEK) for treatment failed penetrating (PKP). Methods: This is a retrospective chart review patients PKP who underwent DMEK or DSAEK. The median follow-up time both groups was 28 months (range 6–116 months). Data collection included demographic characteristics, number previous corneal transplants, glaucoma surgeries, best-corrected visual acuity, cell density, graft detachment and...
Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in aphakic and aniridic eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate the agreement in biometry measurements and intraocular lens (IOL) power prediction between Eyestar 900 IOLMaster 700. Setting: Institutional. Design: Retrospective comparative study. Methods: Patients were evaluated before cataract surgery using both devices on same visit. Axial length, anterior posterior keratometry, chamber depth, corneal diameter (CD), central thickness, thickness recorded by devices.

Purpose: To report our experience with Descemet stripping only (DSO) for the treatment of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Methods: Thirteen eyes 9 patients symptomatic dystrophy underwent a 4 mm central Descemetorhexis without graft implantation between June 2017 and July 2020. All had confluent guttata, undetectable cell count by specular microscopy, healthy peripheral endothelium. In 6 eyes, procedure was combined phacoemulsification intraocular lens implantation.
