Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence, magnitude, and direction of ocular residual astigmatism (ORA) in eyes with myopia and myopic astigmatism, and its interaction with refractive, anterior corneal, posterior corneal, and true net power astigmatism.
Patients And Methods: Refractive surgery candidates with myopia and myopic astigmatism were studied. Refractive astigmatism (RA) was measured using the Nidek AR-310A autorefractometer.
Purpose: To retrospectively compare the refractive outcomes between two groups of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), one with a single incision and the second one with dual-incisions.
Setting: Ebsar Eye Center, Benha, Qalyopia, Egypt.
Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Purpose: To assess the stability, safety, predictability, and efficacy of topography-guided myopic Femto-LASIK with two different treatment protocols.
Setting: Ebsar Eye center, Benha, Qalyopia, Egypt.
Design: Single-center, retrospective, COHORT control study.
Aim: To report the intraoperative complications associated with small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and their management.
Methods: This was a retrospective consecutive interventional clinical study, carried out on patients with myopia and myopic astigmatism, who underwent SMILE procedure. Type of intraoperative complications and their management were recorded.
Purpose: To study the intraoperative complications of refractive small incision lenticule extraction (ReSMILE push-up technique), and to record the mean intraoperative duration time of all surgeries for the refractive surgeon in his early learning curve.
Setting: Ebsar Eye Center, Benha, Egypt.
Design: A prospective, single-center, cohort clinical study.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of transepithelial corneal collagen crosslinking (TE-CXL) in patients with progressive keratoconus.
Patients And Methods: This is a prospective interventional consecutive study carried out on 30 eyes of 18 patients with progressive keratoconus who underwent TE-CLX using both ParaCelâ„¢ (riboflavin 0.25%, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, NaCl, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid [EDTA], Tris, and benzalkonium chloride) and vibeX-Xtra (riboflavin 0.
Purpose: We attempted to evaluate the efficacy of femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation in patients with keratoconus (KC).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective interventional consecutive clinical study was conducted on patients with KC who were treated with femtosecond laser Keraring implantation. All procedures were performed at Ebsar Eye Center in the period from January 5, 2015, to February 28, 2016.
Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of implantation of an accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) in pseudophakic presbyopic eyes.
Setting: Ophthalmology Department, Benha Medical School, Benha, Egypt.
Methods: In this prospective controlled trial, near and distance visual acuities, the manifest refraction spherical equivalent, and patient satisfaction were evaluated in presbyopic eyes that had phacoemulsification cataract removal and implantation of a Crystalens AT-45 IOL accommodating IOL.
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of computerized videokeratography, keratometry, and the Gaussian optics formula for measuring corneal refractive power in patients after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Design: Noncomparative case series.
Participants: One hundred eyes of 63 patients (mean age, 45.
