Purpose: To determine the safety and efficacy of black tea extract in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis in a rabbit model and compare it with that of gatifloxacin drops.
Methods: Black tea extract was tested in vitro on bacterial cultures of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Forty-two rabbit eyes were cultured with either MRSA (n=21) or P.
Background: PACK-CXL (photo-activated chromophore for keratitis-corneal cross-linking) is an alternative option in treatment of corneal infections. It inhibits corneal melting by increasing the stromal resistance, besides the microbicidal effect of photo-activated riboflavin.
Methods: Corneal infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staph aureus bacteria was induced in 20 eyes of 10 rabbits after 6 weeks of corneal cross-linking in half of the eyes, while the other acted as control group.
Purpose: To report the results of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) assisted by femtosecond laser in the treatment of persistent infective keratitis.
Methods: Seven eyes of 7 patients with diagnosed infective keratitis were recruited. They showed no improvement on maximal medical therapy for a week.
Purpose: To evaluate femtosecond laser in DSAEK surgery as an improvement to manual DSAEK.
Settings: Department of Ophthalmology, Cairo University.
Design: A retrospective observational clinical study.
