Accelerated high fluence photoactivated chromophore for infectious keratitis-corneal cross-linking (PACK-CXL) at the slit lamp: a pilot study.

Photoactivated Chromophore for Infectious Keratitis-Corneal Cross-Linking (PACK-CXL) has garnered substantial interest among researchers and ophthalmologists due to its high promise as a potential treatment for infectious keratitis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high fluence PACK-CXL, using 10.0 J/cm (30 mW/cm, 5 min, and 33 s) at the slit lamp.

[[A MULTICENTER SPANISH STUDY OF ATROPINE 0.01% IN CHILDHOOD MYOPIA PROGRESSION]].

Myopia, short-sightedness, is the most frequent cause of vision difficulty and its prevalence is expected to rise. Nowadays, the usage of atropine drops is effective for myopia progression control. Studies on the Asian population showed that atropine 0.

Herpetic Eye Disease Following the SARS-CoV-2 Vaccinations.

Purpose: To describe herpetic ocular infections following SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations.

Methods: A retrospective study of herpetic ocular infections after BNT162b2mRNA vaccination and a literature review.

Results: A cohort of five patients: three varicella zoster virus (VZV) and two herpes simplex virus (HSV) cases, as well as 19 literature cases: 9 cases of VZV and 10 cases of HSV post BNT162b2mRNA, AZD1222, mRNA-1273, and CoronaVac vaccinations.

Validation of the multi-metric D-index change in the assessment of keratoconus progression.

Purpose: To validate the effectiveness of the multi-metric D-index by Pentacam in detecting keratoconus (KC) progression.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study of KC patients at the Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel, during 2016-2018 with at least two corneal tomography examinations six months apart. Agreement between clinical diagnosis of progression (1.
