Comparison of IOP obtained in different kind of eyes with contact and no contact tonometers.

Background: The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) values measured in three different kinds of participants such as healthy subjects (HS), keratoconus patients (KP), and those who underwent myopic photorefractive keratectomy (MPRK). The devices used in this study are the Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT), the dynamic contour tonometry (DCT), the ocular response analyzer (ORA), and the Corvis ST (CST).

Subjects And Methods: This research included 92 eyes of 92 h, 63 eyes of 63 KP, and 58 eyes of 58 MPRKM.

Evaluation of efficacy and safety of new high-density dyes for chromovitrectomy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two novel heavy dyes for macular surgery: DoubledyneTM and TwinTM. One eye from each of 144 patients undergoing surgery for macular hole or macular pucker was included in the study. The eyes were randomly divided into two groups according to the dye used during surgery.

To estimate the safety and efficacy of a 3-D visualization helmet for vitreoretinal surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate a 3-D visualization helmet (3DVH) during 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for macular holes (MH) and macular puckers (MP).

Methods: A total of 184 eyes of 184 patients undergoing PPV for MH or MP were randomly selected for surgery with 3DVH or standard Galilean microscope (GM). Only one highly trained surgeon performed each PPV.
