Purpose: This study aimed to assess the agreement between topographic indices of healthy subjects and keratoconus (KCN) patients using a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT CASIA2) versus a Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam).
Methods: 40 eyes of 23 patients with KCN and 40 eyes of 20 healthy subjects were included and evaluated with the CASIA2, followed by the Pentacam. Two consecutive modalities were obtained for one eye of each patient.
Purpose: To assess the therapeutic efficacy of a combinational therapy, including conventional treatment and intense pulsed light (IPL) technique on sleep quality of patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
Methods: Fifty participants with a clinical diagnosis of MGD were enrolled in this study. Participants underwent three sessions of IPL therapy.
Clinical Relevance: Meibomian gland dysfunction is the main cause of evaporative dry eye disease and can lead to ocular discomfort and ocular surface damage. Early diagnosis and management of this condition can prevent its impact on patients 'visual health and quality of life.
Background: In the last decade, intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) has been introduced as a therapeutic option for patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
: To compare the corneal cone location on different maps and instruments, and their agreements, with elevation maps.: In 90 left eyes with bilateral keratoconus, the apex of cone location was determined based on the maximum simulated keratometry (Kmax) location on the anterior sagittal curvature map by Pentacam HR, the maximum curvature on the mean curvature map by ATLAS 9000, most elevated point of the island of positive elevation relative to the best fit sphere on the front and back corneal elevation maps by Pentacam HR, and thinnest point on the thickness map by Pentacam HR and Orbscan, and the thinnest points on pachymetry and epithelial thickness maps by RTVue OCT.: There was a significant difference among the location on different maps along the - and -axes ( < .

View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: To evaluate the enhancing effects of vision therapy on eye-hand coordination skills in students with visual impairments.
Methods: Thirty-five visually impaired patients who underwent vision therapy comprised the treatment group, and 35 patients with impaired vision who received no treatment comprised the control group. Full ophthalmic examinations were performed, including biomicroscopy, retinoscopy, and assessments of subjective refraction and visual acuity.
Purpose: To compare three different methods for determining addition in presbyopes.
Methods: The study included 81 subjects with presbyopia who aged 40-70 years. Reading addition values were measured using 3 approaches including the amplitude of accommodation (AA), dynamic retinoscopy (DR), and increasing plus lens (IPL).
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of refractive errors among schoolchildren in Northeastern Iran by age and gender.
Methods: Using multistage random cluster sampling, 2020 schoolchildren 6-17 years of age were selected for this cross-sectional study. The participants totalled 1551 (response rate 76.
