Comparison of the Effects of Dovitinib and Bevacizumab on Reducing Neovascularization in an Experimental Rat Corneal Neovascularization Model.

Purpose: To compare the inhibitory effects of dovitinib and bevacizumab for treatment of corneal neovascularization (CNV).

Methods: Thirty-nine adult female Sprague Dawley rats weighing 180 to 250 g were used. CNV was induced by silver nitrate in the right eye of each rat.

Comparison of IOP measurement by ocular response analyzer, dynamic contour, Goldmann applanation, and noncontact tonometry.

Purpose: To assess the agreement among ocular response analyzer (ORA), dynamic contour tonometry (DCT), Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), and noncontact tonometry (NCT), and to determine the effects of central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal hysteresis (CH) on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements with these devices.

Methods: Sixty healthy volunteers were recruited. The average of ORA (corneal compensated IOP [IOP-ORAcc] and Goldmann-correlated IOP [IOP-ORAg]), DCT, GAT, and NCT levels were compared and the devices were examined with respect to CCT and CH.

Diurnal variation of corneal biomechanics and intraocular pressure in normal subjects.

Purpose: To assess and investigate the relationship between diurnal variations in intraocular pressure (IOP) and biomechanical properties of cornea.

Methods: Sixty-two healthy volunteers were recruited. Corneal compensated IOP (IOPcc), Goldmann-correlated IOP (IOPg), corneal resistance factor (CRF), and corneal hysteresis (CH) parameters were recorded by the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA).
