Objective: This study examined the prevalence of keratoconus among patients who were interested in undergoing refractive surgery. Corneal tomography measurements were used to help detect keratoconus.
Methods: Adult subjects who presented to the private hospital Cataract and Refractive Surgery Unit (Abha, Saudi Arabia) for refractive surgery evaluation were considered for inclusion in this cross-sectional, retrospective study.
Aim: To evaluate the visual outcomes of simultaneous non-topography guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in eyes with keratoconus 5y after the procedure.
Methods: Prospective, interventional, non-randomized, and non-controlled case series design was used. Sixty eyes of 30 patients (16 males and 14 females; age: 21-41y) with mild, non-progressive (stages 1-2) keratoconus were enrolled.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 0.003% tacrolimus suspension for the treatment of refractory vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC).
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 40 eyes of 20 patients with severe VKC.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of 0.1% tacrolimus dermatologic ointment (Protopic) in cases of refractory atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC).
Design: Prospective, nonrandomized, noncontrolled case series.
Purpose: To document the development of corneal perforation after using gatifloxacin to treat inflamed pterygium.
Methods: A 30-year-old man developed corneal perforation after using gatifloxacin to treat inflamed pterygium.
Results: After treatment with gatifloxacin was stopped, the perforation was managed by applying cyanoacrylate glue, followed by pterygium excision.
