Objective: To present a case of corneal ulcer unresponsive to medical treatment, successfully treated with the use of ultraviolet (UV) A and riboflavin collagen crosslinking (CXL) administered twice.
Methods: A 68-year-old diabetic male patient was diagnosed with unilateral severe corneal ulcer. Gram and Giemsa stains and corneal culture results were performed twice, but no specific pathogen could be detected.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare keratometry and anterior chamber depth (ACD) measurements from the Lenstar LS 900 (Haag-Streit AG, Switzerland) and the Pentacam (Oculus, Weltzar, Germany), and compare the keratometry readings of these two systems to a manual keratometer (MK), (Haag-Streit, Switzerland).
Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, keratometry and ACD measurements were obtained in 50 eyes of 50 normal subjects with the Lenstar and the Pentacam. Keratometry was also measured using a MK.

June 2013
Purpose: To evaluate the refractive and corneal topographical changes of overnight orthokeratology in myopia with two brands of contact lenses.
Methods: Fourty-four eyes of 22 myopic patients with manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) of -1.00 to -5.
Objectives: We report three cases of corneal melanoma: two without conjunctival primary acquired melanosis or melanoma and one with a history of conjunctival melanoma.
Methods: Report of 3 cases with corneal melanoma and literature review.
Results: Medical records of three patients with the diagnosis of corneal melanoma were reviewed.
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of different Scheimpflug-imaging parameters in discriminating between subclinical keratoconus, keratoconus eyes, and normal eyes.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey.
Design: Comparative case series.
