Efficacy and Safety of Standard Corneal Cross-Linking Procedures Performed With Short Versus Standard Riboflavin Induction: A Save Sight Keratoconus Registry Study.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of short versus standard riboflavin induction times in cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus.

Methods: A retrospective comparative study was conducted with data from the Save Sight Keratoconus Registry. Inclusion criteria were epithelium-off technique, standard UVA CXL protocol (3 mW/cm 2 for 30 minutes), riboflavin induction for 15 minutes (short) or 30 minutes (standard), and 1 year of follow-up data after CXL.

Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Standard Versus Accelerated Corneal Crosslinking for Keratoconus: 1-Year Outcomes From the Save Sight Keratoconus Registry Study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of standard [Ultraviolet (UV) light power: 3 mW/cm2, duration: 30 minutes] versus accelerated (UV power: 9 mW/cm2, duration: 10 minutes) corneal crosslinking (CXL) for stabilizing keratoconus.

Methods: A total of 684 eyes (555 patients; mean age ± SD, 25.0 ± 7.

Treatment of infectious keratitis with riboflavin and ultraviolet-A irradiation.

Unlabelled: We report 4 eyes with infectious keratitis treated with riboflavin/ultraviolet-A irradiation (corneal collagen crosslinking [CXL]) in addition to medical treatment. In 2 eyes with bilateral keratitis, the fellow eye was treated with medical treatment alone. The other 2 eyes had refractory keratitis.

Congenital orbital teratoma.

We present a case of mature congenital orbital teratoma managed with lid-sparing exenteration and dermis fat graft. This is a case report on the management of congenital orbital teratoma. A full-term baby was born in Fiji with prolapsed right globe which was surrounded by a nonpulsatile, cystic mass.

Comparison of residual stromal bed and flap thickness in primary and repeat laser in situ keratomileusis in myopic patients.

Purpose: To compare the change in residual stromal thickness and flap thickness between primary laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and repeat LASIK in myopic patients.

Setting: Melbourne Excimer Laser Group, East Melbourne, Australia.

Methods: This retrospective nonrandomized comparative trial comprised 46 eyes of 34 patients who had repeat LASIK.

Pterygium-induced corneal astigmatism.

A significant degree of corneal astigmatism can be induced by the encroachment of a pterygium onto a cornea. The pterygium generally causes with-the-rule corneal astigmatism that is hemimeridional on the side of the pterygium. There is a significant correlation between the extension of the pterygium onto the cornea and the amount of induced astigmatism.
