Optical Coherence Tomography in Children With Microtropia.

Purpose: To assess whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) could be useful for detecting and documenting fixation in patients with microtropia.

Methods: Retinal fixation observation was performed using spectral-domain OCT on amblyopic children with microtropia. The position between the retinal fixation point and the anatomical fovea was measured, in microns, using the system software tools.

Grading nuclear cataract opacity by densitometry and objective optical analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the optical quality and densitometric characteristics in eyes with early stages of crystalline lens opacification.

Setting: Vissum-Instituto de Oftalmológico de Alicante, Alicante, Spain.

Methods: The study included 34 eyes of 24 consecutive patients with nuclear opacity (NO) between NO1 and NO3 on the Lens Opacities Classification System III, normal corneas, and no previous ocular surgery.

Treatment of ocular surface syndrome after LASIK with autologous platelet-rich plasma.

Purpose: To ascertain the usefulness of platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of patients suffering from symptomatic ocular surface syndrome following LASIK.

Methods: Twenty-six eyes (9 women and 4 men) affected by symptomatic ocular surface syndrome were treated with topical eye drops of autologous platelet-rich plasma and results were reported at 4 weeks. Topical platelet-rich plasma was prepared from total blood and enriched in platelets by centrifugation.

Use of autologous platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of dormant corneal ulcers.

Purpose: To investigate the potential role of autologous platelet-rich plasma in promoting healing in dormant corneal ulcers.

Design: Prospective, consecutive, interventional, noncomparative, nonrandomized, observational study.

Participants: Forty eyes of 38 patients with dormant corneal ulcers.
