Introduction: Both Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) shared the microinflammatory milieu and increased oxidative stress as important criteria in their pathogenesis. The monocyte/high density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) seems to be an easy-to-calculate prognostic marker of microinflammation.
Objectives: To assess MHR in patients with AGA and its correlation to AMD in these patients, if any.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combined epithelium-off cross-linking (CXL) with photorefractive keratectomy (CXL Plus) for correction of the myopic and astigmatic components of keratoconus.
Methods: Seventy-nine eyes of 46 patients who underwent CXL Plus were enrolled in this retrospective, multicenter, noncomparative clinical study. Uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, refraction, keratometry, and pachymetry measurements were recorded preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months during follow-up.
Purpose: To analyze the results of three-year outcomes of combined epithelium-on cross-linking with femtosecond laser ICRS (cross-linking PLUS) for keratoconus management.
Design: A retrospective multicenter clinical study.
Methods: 43 eyes of 38 patients were subjected to preoperative and postoperative UCVA, BCVA, refraction, Pentacam pachymetry, and keratometry examinations at 3-, 6-, 12-, 24-, and 36-month follow-up period.
Purpose: To compare results of superior rectus and lateral rectus muscle union surgery (SR-LR union) performed using three sutures versus a single suture in the treatment of myopic strabismus fixus.
Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent SR-LR union for myopic strabismus fixus between July 2012 and August 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome measures were changes in ocular deviation and degree of limitation of ocular motility.
