Purpose: Inflammation can be an etiologic factor of Fuchs' dystrophy according to previous studies. Our aim was to analyse the activation of the complement system in the aqueous humor in this pathological condition.
Methods: 100 μl aqueous humor sample was taken during keratoplasty of 11 Fuchs' dystrophic patients and during phacoemulsification surgery of 18 control patients.
Background/aims: According to some studies, inflammation is a potential etiological factor in pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK). Our aim was to obtain information on the activation of the complement system in the aqueous humor in this disorder.
Methods: Aqueous humor samples were collected during keratoplasty of 12 PBK patients, as well as during phacoemulsification surgery of 18 control patients.
Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical applicability of the Ocuton-A and Ocuton-S applanation tonometers, and to compare their use and accuracy parameters to those of Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT).
Material/methods: In the first study, intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured with an Ocuton-A tonometer, followed by another measurement using GAT in 15 subjects (30 eyes). Ocuton-tonometry was performed on three occasions separated by three-minute intervals.
Corneal photoablation with the 193 nm argon fluoride excimer laser during photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in high diopter range is frequently associated with subepithelial haze and consequent refractive regression due to avascular corneal wound healing. The wound healing response can be augmented by Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) exposure originating from sun or solarium. Clinically Laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) even in high diopter range is associated with less subepithelial haze and regression than PRK.
