Changes in corneal biomechanics and intraocular pressure following Femto-LASIK using Goldman applanation tonometry and ocular response analyzer.

Aim: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements before and after laser keratomileusis (LASIK) with a femtosecond laser for flap creation using ocular response analyzer (ORA) and Goldmann applanation tonometry, and to identify factors that may influence the preoperative and postoperative IOP.

Methods: A prospective study conducted on myopic patients who underwent LASIK using a femtosecond laser for flap fashioning. Enrolled patients were evaluated preoperatively, 6wk and 3mo postoperatively for manifest refraction (MR), keratometric (K) readings and central corneal thickness (CCT) using a scheimpflug-based topography.

Comparative Study Between Topical Gatifloxacin 0.5% and Moxifloxacin 0.5% as a Prophylactic Measure Before Intraocular Surgery.

To compare equal concentrations (0.5%) of moxifloxacin and gatifloxacin ophthalmic solutions with regard to conjunctival bacterial reduction as well as anterior chamber penetration. One hundred patients were divided into 2 groups.
