Photopic pupillometry-guided laser in situ keratomileusis for hyperopic presbyopia.

Purpose: To evaluate a method of surgically treating presbyopia in hyperopic patients having laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) by selecting excimer ablation optical zone diameters based on the photopic pupil.

Setting: Private practice, Beverly Hills, California, USA.

Methods: This prospective analysis comprised 46 patients having hyperopic LASIK for presbyopia.

Verisyse intraocular lens implantation in a child with anisometropic amblyopia: four-year follow-up.

A Verisyse phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) (AMO) was implanted in the eye of a 3-year-old child with unilateral high myopia and suspected dense amblyopia. Four years postoperatively, the Snellen visual acuity was 20/30 with a refraction of -1.00 -1.

Comparison of corneal thickness measured with optical coherence tomography, ultrasonic pachymetry, and a scanning slit method.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between 1310-nm optical coherence tomography (OCT), an ultrasound pachymeter, and the Orbscan II (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY) in corneal thickness measurements before and after LASIK.

Methods: Twenty-eight eyes of 14 patients with a mean age of 39.9 +/- 8.

Herpetic lesion mimicking lower eyelid malignancy.

This photo-essay illustrates a case of a rapidly enlarging and ulcerated lower eyelid lesion in an HIV-positive man that was thought to be a malignant lesion. The biopsy revealed inclusions consistent with herpesvirus. This clinical entity should be considered in the clinician's differential diagnosis of eyelid lesions.
