Purpose: To assess agreement between corneal aberration measurements made through swept-source optical coherence tomography using a new anterior segment imaging device (Anterion) and a Scheimpflug imaging device (Pentacam HR) in healthy subjects.

Methods: Cross-sectional study. In 50 eyes of 50 healthy subjects, 14 aberration parameters (7 across the anterior corneal surface and 7 across the total surface) were measured in 4 mm and 6 mm optic zones using each device: oblique trefoil (Z3_-3), vertical coma (Z3_-1), horizontal coma (Z3_1), horizontal trefoil (Z3_3), spherical aberration (Z4_0), root mean square (RMS) lower order aberrations (LOA) and RMS higher order aberrations (HOA).

Purpose: To describe a new algorithm to measure corneal densitometry based on images obtained by swept source anterior segment ocular coherence tomography (SS-AS-OCT) and establish standard densitometry values in a group of normal eyes.

Methods: A total of 111 healthy participants (195 eyes) were enrolled in this study. Using a MATLAB designed algorithm, the cornea was segmented into three layers: anterior, posterior and mid-stroma, and it was divided into two concentric areas, 0-2 and 2-4 mm, resulting in nine areas for the analysis.

Background: To analyze objective and subjective visual quality differences between descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and ultra-thin descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (UT-DSAEK) with a paired contralateral-eye design.

Methods: A cross-sectional, comparative, and observational case series study between DMEK and UT-DSAEK were presented. Visual acuity, refractive status and corneal quality assessment were compared between both endothelial keratoplasty techniques.

Purpose: To analyze the influence of the final spherical equivalent (SE) in LogMAR uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) one year after refractive surgery. We analysed refractive results, their predictability and efficacy, and the safety results of the different methods as secondary outcomes.

Setting: Refractive Surgery Unit of the Institut Català de Retina (ICR) in Barcelona, Spain.

Objective: To compare minimally invasive strabismus surgery (MISS) with the fornix approach in horizontal strabismus operations.

Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all patients aged ≤ 12 years who underwent symmetrical surgery of the medial or lateral recti over a 1-year period. MISS was performed in one eye, and fornix opening was performed in the contralateral.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Irene Blanco-Dominguez"

  • - Irene Blanco-Dominguez's research primarily focuses on advanced ophthalmic imaging techniques, particularly the use of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for assessing corneal aberrations and densitometry in healthy eyes.
  • - Her findings demonstrate a significant agreement between SS-OCT and Scheimpflug imaging, underscoring the reliability of SS-OCT in clinical settings, as well as the effectiveness of a new algorithm for segmenting corneal layers for better densitometry assessments.
  • - Additionally, she has investigated surgical techniques in ophthalmology, comparing visual outcomes and subjective satisfaction between different methods of endothelial keratoplasty and analyzing the latest refractive surgery techniques for myopic correction, contributing valuable insights to the efficacy and predictability of these procedures.
