Magrabi ICO Cameroon Eye Institute, Yaoundé, Cameroon: Ophthalmology Subspecialty Patient Care and Training Center in Central Africa.

Purpose: To report establishment of the Magrabi ICO Cameroon Eye Institute at Yaoundé, Cameroon, as an ophthalmology subspecialty patient care and training center in Central Africa.

Design: Perspective.

Methods: Assessment of unpublished and published material.

A prospective, randomized, contralateral eye comparison of epithelial laser in situ keratomileusis and photorefractive keratectomy in eyes prone to haze.

Purpose: To compare refractive outcome, subepithelial haze, and pain after epithelial laser in situ keratomileusis (epi-LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).

Methods: In this prospective, randomized study, 32 eyes of 16 patients were treated for myopia with epi-LASIK (epi-LASIK group) in one eye and PRK in the fellow eye (PRK group). All patients underwent ablation using the NIDEK EC-5000 CX II excimer laser platform.

Comparison of iris-fixed Artisan lens implantation with excimer laser in situ keratomileusis in correcting myopia between -9.00 and -19.50 diopters: a randomized study.

Objective: To compare Artisan lens implantation with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of myopia between -9.00 and -19.50 diopters.
