Surgery for Combined Hamartoma of the Retina and Retinal Pigment Epithelium.

There is no consensus on whether and when surgical treatment is indicated for combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (CHRRPE). We aim to discuss the benefits of surgical intervention and techniques that may improve the outcome. A 24-year-old man experienced progressive visual loss for 6 months in his left eye due to CHRRPE.

Accuracy of Total Corneal Astigmatism Measurements With a Scheimpflug Imager and a Color Light-Emitting Diode Corneal Topographer.

Purpose: To determine the accuracy of total corneal astigmatism measurements with a Scheimpflug imager and a color light-emitting diode corneal topographer, and to compare the accuracy of total corneal astigmatism measurements with the accuracy of measurements that are based only on the anterior corneal surface.

Methods: This study was conducted at the Rotterdam Ophthalmic Institute, Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Value of posterior keratometry in the assessment of surgically induced astigmatic change in cataract surgery.

Purpose: To investigate the value of posterior keratometry in the assessment of surgically induced astigmatic change (AC) in cataract surgery, with particular emphasis on the influence of test-retest variability.

Methods: Seventy-seven eyes of 77 cataract patients scheduled for routine cataract surgery were enrolled. All patients received a 2.
