Propose: This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MR dacryocystography (MRD) and dacryoscintigraphy (DSG) in the diagnosis of acquired epiphora related to NLDO. A total of 15 patients with acquired epiphora and suspected NLDO were included in this study.
Methods: All patients underwent MRD and DSG examinations.
Purpose: To report the results of intrastromal corneal ring segment (KeraRing; Mediphcose, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) implantation relative to depth of insertion in keratoconic patients.
Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, we evaluated 29 eyes of 27 patients with keratoconus who underwent implantation of KeraRing SI-5 with mechanical tunnel creation. In the mean follow-up of 8.
A comparison between Goldmann applanation tonometry and dynamic contour tonometry after photorefractive keratectomy.

Background: The intraocular pressure (IOP) could be measured by both Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and dynamic contour tonometry (DCT). Although these two methods have been discussed widely after laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratectomy (LASIK), there is little data in the cases undergoing photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). We aimed to compare the changes of IOP measurements obtained by GAT and DCT after PRK for myopia/myopic astigmatism.

The purpose of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the KISA% index with the keratometry (K) value, inferior-superior (I-S) value, relative skewing of the steepest radial axes (SRAX), and keratometric astigmatism (AST) indices in 25 patients presenting with bilateral keratoconus.
Methods: Twenty-five patients presenting with bilateral keratoconus were enrolled.
