Evaluation of the Ex-PRESS(®) P-50 implant under scleral flap in combined cataract and glaucoma surgery.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of glaucoma drainage device Ex-PRESS(®) P-50 for combined cataract surgery and glaucoma.

Methods: Patients having cataract and open angle glaucoma or patients with open advanced glaucoma which needed two or more antiglaucoma medications were included. Combined cataract surgery and glaucoma with Ex-PRESS(®) P-50 model placed under scleral flap was performed.

Comparison of anterior segment measurements with optical low-coherence reflectometry and rotating dual Scheimpflug analysis.

Purpose: To compare the anterior segment measurements obtained with optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR) (Lenstar LS 900, version 2.1.1) and rotating dual Scheimpflug analysis (Galilei G1, version 3).

Assessment of corneal biomechanical properties and intraocular pressure in myopic spanish healthy population.

Purpose. To examine biomechanical parameters of the cornea in myopic eyes and their relationship with the degree of myopia in a western healthy population. Methods.

Biomechanical property analysis after corneal collagen cross-linking in relation to ultraviolet A irradiation time.

Purpose: To study the biomechanical effect of riboflavin-ultraviolet A irradiation (UVA)-induced collagen cross-linking (CXL) in porcine corneas using two different exposure times of 30 and 60 min.

Methods: Seventeen enucleated porcine eyes were divided into three groups: group A, six eyes without any treatment, group B, six eyes treated by UVA CXL for 30 min, and group C, five eyes treated by UVA CXL for 60 min. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) was used as a photosensitizer in both groups of treatment.

Biomechanical properties of the cornea in Fuchs' corneal dystrophy.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of Fuchs' corneal dystrophy (FCD) on corneal biomechanical properties and the results of IOP readings in relation to changes in corneal hysteresis (CH) and central corneal thickness (CCT).

Methods: Corneal biomechanical properties, including CH, corneal resistance factor (CRF), and CCT, were measured with the ocular response analyzer (ORA) in 11 eyes of 11 patients with clinically confirmed FCD and 12 eyes of 12 healthy subjects. The ORA was also used to determine the values of intraocular pressure (IOP(g)) and corneal compensated IOP (IOP(cc)).
