Combined Intense Pulsed Light and Low-Level Light Therapy for the Treatment of Dry Eye: A Retrospective Before-After Study with One-Year Follow-Up.

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of a combination of intense pulsed light and low-level light therapy (IPL/LLLT) for the treatment of dry eye.

Study Design: Retrospective before-after single-center clinical study.

Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with dry eye, refractory to conventional treatment, underwent four sessions of combined IPL/LLLT over 3 months.

Peripheral ulcerative keratitis after ultrasound-mediated cycloablation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. A possible causal relationship.

The cases concern a corneal complication not previously described, to our knowledge, after the application of ultrasound-mediated circular cycloablation, in 2cases of primary open-angle glaucoma in patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

Pupil Ovalization and Accommodation Loss after High-intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment for Glaucoma: A Case Report.

Aim: The aim of this study is to present a complication derived from high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) not described previously in the literature.

Background: HIFU has shown to be an effective technique for reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in the treatment of glaucoma, enabling the selective coagulation of the ciliary body. Published trials have not observed major intra- or postoperative complications, or serious adverse events derived from this technique.

A new device for intraocular lenses explantation.

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery sometimes have to be explanted because of eventual complications like incorrect power, dysphotopsia, opacification, or rupture during implantation. However, current explantation procedures present several shortcomings related to the need for incision enlargement and/or potential damage to ocular structures. We present a new device which increases safety while cutting the lens, allowing the explantation through the original incision, and applicable to any type of IOL.

Immediately sequential versus delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery: safety and effectiveness.

Purpose: To assess the safety and effectiveness of immediately sequential (ISBCS) versus delayed sequential (DSBCS) bilateral cataract surgery.

Setting: Multiple clinics, Canary Islands, Spain.

Design: Multicenter randomized clinical trial.
