Purpose: To evaluate the incidence and causes of the need for retreatment after LASIK-induced monovision in patients with myopia and presbyopia without a previous trial of contact lens induced monovision.
Design: Retrospective, observational study.
Methods: We retrospectively studied 914 eyes of 457 consecutive myopic patients with presbyopia scheduled for LASIK-induced monovision (nondominant eye corrected for near).
Purpose: To describe how underlying retinal diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa, increase the risk of chloroquine-induced macular toxicity.
Methods: Observational case report.
Results: We present the case of a 57-year-old woman being annually followed-up in the Ophthalmology service due to a systemic treatment with chloroquine (CQ).

Objective: To describe the use of transepithelial phototherapeutic keratecomy for the long-term treatment of post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap macrostriae.
Method: We present the case of a 22 year old male with visual loss in the left eye due to chronic flap macrostriae that was treated with transepithelial PTK.
Results: Striae and haze were no longer visible, with a significant improvement of best corrected visual acuity.
Purpose: To evaluate compliance with diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations of the European Glaucoma Society (EGS) for the management of glaucoma in Spain, as determined using the Achievable Benchmarks of Care approach.
Methods: A panel of 3 experts extracted quality and process-of-care indicators from the EGS guidelines. Investigators from all over the country, representative of Spanish ophthalmologists, were invited to participate in the study, completing a questionnaire on quality indicators (pertaining to the center) and process-of-care indicators (pertaining to all patients) for the first, diagnostic visit (retrospective) and the study visit.
