Purpose: To characterize corneal biomechanical properties using the CORVIS-ST device in myopic individuals.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included patients with myopia. Our study included 154 eyes of 154 myopic patients aged between 18 and 40 years, with stable refraction for at least 2 years.

Purpose: To compare anatomical outcomes, functional outcomes, and rate of complications of standard scleral buckling (SSB) versus chandelier-assisted scleral buckling (CSB) in phakic eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to either SSB or CSB. Surgical success/failure rate, corrected distance visual acuity, surgical operating time, and rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications including epiretinal membranes by spectral domain optical coherence tomography were compared between groups.

Purpose: To investigate the long-term effect of scleral buckling on corneal biomechanics and the effect of change of scleral properties on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements.

Methods: This is a prospective case series, patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment prepared for scleral buckling were included. Goldmann applanation tonometry was used to measure IOP (GAT IOP).
