[Comparison of visual acuity and higher-order aberrations after standard and wavefront-guided myopic femtosecond LASIK].

Purpose: To analyze and compare visual acuity, refractive outcomes and higher-order aberrations after standard and wavefront-guided Femto-LASIK at 1, 3, and 12 months postoperatively.

Methods: Study of 95 consecutive eyes of myopic patients (-0.5 to -7.

The current state of refractive surgery.

The leading topic of this particular paper is dedicated to available surgical options for refractive eye disorders treatment including surgery of cornea and intraocular surgery. Corneal Surgery includes laser refractive surgery - LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), FemtoLASIK (Femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK), PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy). This article describes relevant principles of particular procedures, indications and possible contraindications.

[Comparison of the threshold interpolation and whole-line method on logMAR chart and Snellen chart for visual acuity testing].

The main goal of our study was to prove the statistical significant difference between the threshold interpolation logMAR method on ETDRS chart and the whole-line method on Snellen chart with Sloan letters. We had 108 measurements with the threshold interpolation method and the whole-line method on ETDRS chart and the whole-line method on Snellen chart. The average value measured with the threshold method in ETDRS was 1,132 (min.

Second complete remission of relapsed medulloblastoma induced by metronomic chemotherapy.

Prognosis for children with relapsed medulloblastoma remains poor. Metronomic chemotherapy may offer some benefit to patients treated initially with intensive regimens. However, dosing and duration of such palliative treatment have not been systematically studied.

[Macular edema after cataract surgery in diabetic patients without retinopathy].

Purpose: To study the effect of phacoemulsification on the development of macular edema and diabetic retinopathy in diabetic patients without preoperative retinopathy.

Patients And Methods: This study comprised 86 patients; 26 diabetics, who had no clinically detectable diabetic retinopathy preoperatively, formed a study group and 60 non-diabetics were included into the control group. Diabetes mellitus duration, preoperative hemoglobin A1c level, and diabetes treatment method were recorded in diabetics.
