Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a disposable uniplanar pupil expansion device in small-pupil cataract surgery.

Methods: This is a feasibility study carried out at the Rothschild Foundation, Paris, France. Patients undergoing routine cataract surgery with a dilated pupil size < 6 mm, and who agreed to participate in the study were included.

Introduction: We aimed to study the prevalence of a history of COVID-19 infection among patients suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and the potential influence of long-term hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) intake.

Methods: We performed an observational monocentric cohort study at the Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation Hospital ophthalmology division (Paris, France). Electronic medical records (EMR) data were searched for keywords associated with SLE, RA, SjS, or PsA.

Purpose: To compare the preoperative estimation of maximum ablation depth provided by the laser platform with objective measurement using Scheimpflug pachymetry in myopic femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK).

Methods: This is a prospective study carried out at the Rothschild Foundation, Paris, France. In 89 consecutive myopic eyes (45 patients) treated with FS-LASIK, the maximum ablation depth was calculated by measuring the difference between preoperative and 3-month postoperative measurements in central corneal thickness using Scheimpflug pachymetry (Pentacam HR; Oculus Optikgeräte, Wetzlar, Germany).

Purpose: To assess the biomechanical properties of corneas in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and to compare them with those of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), ocular hypertension (OHT), and normal controls (N).

Methods: Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldmann intraocular pressure (IOPg), and corneal compensated IOP (IOPcc) were obtained using an ocular response analyzer for 28 eyes in 14 patients with NTG, 75 eyes in 38 patients with chronic POAG, 53 eyes of 27 patients with OHT, and 44 eyes of 22 N controls. IOP using Goldmann applanation tonometry (IOPGA) and ultrasonic central corneal thickness (CCT) were also measured for each eye.

Purpose: To explain the use of the mixed-cylinder approach in treating moderate to high astigmatism with the NIDEK EC-5000 excimer laser system.

Methods: Retrospective case series report.

Results: Three patients with bilateral moderate to high astigmatism were treated successfully using the mixed cylinder approach.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and predictability of excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct residual myopia and astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP).

Setting: Buzard Eye Institute, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Methods: Twenty-six eyes had LASIK at least 1 year after PKP.
