Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of performing simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) on patients with keratoconus who had previously undergone intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation.
- Conducted at Enaim Laser Center in Jerusalem, the research assessed various eye health parameters over 12 months, including uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities, and keratometry values.
- Results showed significant improvements in visual acuity and corneal curvature post-treatment, indicating the safety and effectiveness of this combined procedure in enhancing the vision of patients with moderate keratoconus.
Lymphocytic reaction to ultraviolet radiation on rabbit conjunctiva.
Ann Ophthalmol (Skokie)
December 2007
We examined the clinical and histological effects of controlled UV radiation on the conjunctiva and cornea of rabbit eyes by duration of exposure (0.5-4 hours daily for 5 consecutive days). Longer UV exposure (day 1-day 5) was associated with increased conjunctival redness, corneal erosion, edema and opacity.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed to identify eyes that developed flap buttonhole during Hansatome microkeratome translation. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative data were obtained to identify factors predictive of buttonhole.
Purpose: To report a series of cases with asymmetric keratoconus attributed to eye rubbing, discuss its pathogenesis, and review the literature.
Methods: Case reports and literature review.
Results: A careful history obtained from 5 patients with asymmetric keratoconus revealed habitual eye rubbing of the more severely affected eye.
Purpose: To describe the indications and technique for repositioning the laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap at the slit lamp.
Methods: We present a description of patients with striae or slippage of the flap who had repositioning of the flap at the slit lamp.
Results: Indications for repositioning at the slit lamp are mostly flap striae.
