Prevention of infection after corneal refractive surgery: a French survey.

Purpose: To report the French refractive surgeons' real-life practices for preventing infection after corneal refractive surgery (photorefractive keratotomy [PRK], laser in situ keratomileusis [LASIK], and small-incision lenticule extraction).

Setting: France.

Design: Anonymous practice survey.

Bilateral infectious keratitis after small-incision lenticule extraction.

Unlabelled: We report the clinical features and management of a patient with severe bilateral infectious keratitis developing after simultaneous bilateral small-incision lenticule extraction. A 39-year-old man was referred to our emergency department 2 days after a small-incision lenticule extraction procedure for moderate myopia. He reported decreased vision, photophobia, and pain bilaterally.

Iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation to correct myopia and a predictive model of endothelial cell loss.

Purpose: To report long-term results of Artisan phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) to correct myopia and to propose a model predicting endothelial cell loss after pIOL implantation.

Setting: Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital, Paris, France.

Design: Retrospective, interventional case series.

Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography imaging in corneal epithelial basement membrane dystrophy: a structural analysis.

Purpose: To investigate the features of corneal epithelial basement membrane dystrophy using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and to examine the reliability of SD OCT in distinguishing epithelial basement membrane dystrophy from the normal cornea.

Design: Diagnostic test study.

Methods: Forty-five individuals with epithelial basement membrane dystrophy and 45 age- and sex-matched controls with normal corneas were examined, and SD OCT scans of their corneas were performed.

VHF digital ultrasound three-dimensional scanning in the diagnosis of myopic regression after corneal refractive surgery.

Purpose: To perform VHF digital ultrasound scanning and analysis of a case of high-myopic undercorrection in an eye that had undergone multiple surgical interventions for the correction of an initial refraction of -12.00 diopters (D).

Methods: A 49-year-old woman was evaluated after undergoing three surgical interventions for correction of an initial refraction of -12.

Retinal detachment after phacoemulsification: a study of 114 cases.

Purpose: To analyze the features of retinal detachment (RD) occurring after cataract surgery performed by Kelman phacoemulsification (KPE) and to identify any potential correlations between KPE intraoperative complications and the features of RD (incidence apart) as well as the final visual outcome.

Design: Interventional consecutive case series.

Methods: Retrospective review of 114 eyes of 114 consecutive patients with RD occurring after KPE and followed for 6 months or more after surgery.
