Quality of life following glaucoma surgery: canaloplasty versus trabeculectomy.

Purpose: To evaluate quality of life (QoL) with a new questionnaire after canaloplasty (CP) and trabeculectomy (TE).

Patients And Methods: We assessed outcomes of surgery, rate of revision surgeries, patients' mood, and influence of postoperative care on QoL, surgery interference with daily activities, and postsurgical complaints. Patients completed the QoL questionnaire 24 months after surgery.

Precision, morphology, and histology of corneal flap cuts using a 200-kHz femtosecond laser.

Purpose: Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) requires precise corneal flap cutting. Especially the creation of thin flaps has recently gained importance for thin-flap LASIK. Currently, there is a trend towards faster femtosecond lasers that can produce flaps in a short period of time.

Safety, efficacy, predictability and stability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a 1000-Hz scanning spot excimer laser.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety, efficacy, predictability and stability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a 1000-Hz scanning spot excimer laser (Concept System 1000; WaveLight GmbH, Erlangen, Germany).

Methods: LASIK was performed on twenty eyes with myopia or myopic astigmatism (mean spherical equivalent refraction: -3.97±1.
