Definition of Progressive Keratoconus: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To identify the definitions used for progressive keratoconus in the literature.

Methods: A systematic literature review aimed to identify the definitions used for "progressive keratoconus" in the published articles. A comprehensive search from January 2018 to May 2023 was conducted across Cochrane Library, PubMed, Taylor & Francis, Web of Science, and other bibliographic databases at Oftalmosalud, Lima, Peru.

Efficacy of femtosecond laser for anterior capsulotomy in complex white cataracts.

Objective: To determine the advantages and complication rate of capsulotomy performed with femtosecond laser in white complex cataract cases.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Participants: Sixteen eyes of 16 patients.

Acupuncture for acute musculoskeletal pain management in the emergency department and continuity clinic: a protocol for an adaptive pragmatic randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Chronic musculoskeletal pain causes a significant burden on health and quality of life and may result from inadequate treatment of acute musculoskeletal pain. The emergency department (ED) represents a novel setting in which to test non-pharmacological interventions early in the pain trajectory to prevent the transition from acute to chronic pain. Acupuncture is increasingly recognised as a safe, affordable and effective treatment for pain and anxiety in the clinic setting, but it has yet to be established as a primary treatment option in the ED.

Femtosecond laser assisted capsulotomy in the treatment of capsule contraction case report.

Purpose: To present the surgical value of femtosecond laser capsulotomy in the treatment of capsular contraction.

Observations: The clinical case of a 63-year-old male patient with single eye who, two months after cataract surgery without complications, presented a significant dislocation of the secondary intraocular lens due to a capsule contraction and epithelial metaplasia that covered the lens optics and caused low vision.

Conclusions: The femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy proved to be effective and safe with minimal traction on the zonule and no IOL damage, in this patient with a follow-up of 29 months.
