Singleplex and multiplex real-time (TaqMan®) RT-PCR assays were developed to detect seven fig-infecting viruses, i.e., fig leaf mottle-associated virus 1 (FLMaV-1), fig leaf mottle-associated virus 2 (FLMaV-2), fig mild mottle-associated virus (FMMaV), fig mosaic virus (FMV), fig latent virus 1 (FLV-1), fig cryptic virus 1 (FCV-1) and fig fleck-associated virus (FFkaV).

Methods: Thirty eight eyes from 29 patients with an age range of 23-32 years and more than 9 D of myopia were divided into two groups; one group of 20 eyes received a Visian ICL model V4c, another group of 18 eyes received an AcrySof Cachet PIOL. Total higher order aberrations (HOAs) root mean square, total coma, and total spherical aberrations were recorded pre and 6 weeks postoperatively to evaluate and compare the aberrometric performance of the Visian ICL and the AcrySof Cachet PIOL implanted in highly myopic patients.
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or epithelial laser in situ keratomileusis (Epi)-LASIK using Goldmann applanation tonometry, air puff tonometry, ocular response analyzer corneal compensated IOP (ORA IOPcc) and Pentacam corrected IOP.
Methods: A prospective comparative clinical study was conducted between February and September 2011 on 30 eyes divided into four groups, i.e.
Purpose: We modified the deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty big bubble technique to improve safety and ease of performance.
Methods: We describe a modification of the big bubble technique that involves injecting the air bubble through a peripheral corneal incision 1 mm from the limbus. The incision is made with a limbal relaxing incision knife.
Effect of intracameral bevacizumab injection on corneal endothelial cells: an in vivo evaluation.
J Ocul Pharmacol Ther
December 2009
Background: We studied the effect of an intracameral bevacizumab injection on the corneal endothelium and iris neovessels (INV).
Methods: Ten eyes were studied in 10 patients with an average age of 52.1 +/- 13.
Purpose: To assess whether topography-driven laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) can correct induced corneal irregular astigmatism.
Methods: A prospective non-comparative case series of 41 eyes (38 patients) with irregular astigmatism following corneal refractive surgery, included two groups: Group 1 (26 eyes) with a defined topographic pattern and Group 2 (15 eyes) with no pattern. Ablation was performed using the Technolas 217C excimer laser with a software ablation program (TOPOLINK) based on corneal topography.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy, predictability, and safety of the Artisan iris claw phakic intraocular lens for the correction of high primary and secondary hyperopia.
Methods: Fifty-seven eyes were divided into two groups: 29 eyes had primary hyperopia (mean refraction 6.06 +/- 1.
Purpose: To evaluate anterior chamber phacoemulsification as an alternative to an endocapsular procedure.
Setting: Instituto Oftalmológico de Alicante, Alicante, Spain.
Methods: In this prospective randomized masked clinical trial, 60 eyes of 30 patients had cataract extraction by phacoemulsification.
