Purpose: An increase in fungal and particularly filamentous keratitis has been observed in many geographic areas, mostly in contact lens wearers. This study seeks to characterize long-term trends in fungal keratitis in a continental climate area to provide guidance for diagnosis and treatment.
Design: Retrospective multicentric case series.
Objective: To evaluate the perception of immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) among Canadian ophthalmologists.
Design: An anonymous survey was sent to all active members of the Canadian Ophthalmological Society.
Methods: Basic demographic information, cataract surgery practice patterns, and perceived advantages, disadvantages, and concerns regarding ISBCS were collected from respondents.
Purpose: To evaluate patient-reported visual outcomes of immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) compared with delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS).
Setting: Tertiary university teaching hospital of Laval University, Quebec City, Canada.
Design: Prospective observational cohort study.
Background/aims: Sheet-like type of epithelial downgrowth (EDG) is not easily amenable to surgical excision. We describe long-term outcomes in patients with EDG treated with intraocular methotrexate (MTX).
Methods: This is a retrospective, multicentric case series including 10 eyes (nine patients) treated with intraocular MTX for sheet-like EDG.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and outcomes of immediately sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) at a Canadian academic teaching center.
Setting: Tertiary university teaching hospital of Laval University, Quebec City, Canada.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Purpose: Ocular manifestations of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease are common in children although remain ill-defined because of the disease's rarity. We describe a pediatric case of IgG4-related orbital disease (IgG4-ROD) who presented with persistent conjunctival infiltration before developing lacrimal gland enlargement 3 years later.
Methods: This was a case report.
Objective: To analyze the outcomes of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) on residual myopia and hyperopia post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and to compare these results with PRK on eyes without previous laser refractive surgery.
Design: Retrospective comparative cohort study.
Participants: Patients undergoing PRK between 2006 and 2010 were reviewed.
Objective: To compare combined intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation with same-day ultraviolet-A/riboflavin corneal collagen cross-linking (ICRS-CXL) versus ICRS implantation alone in patients with corneal ectasia.
Design: Retrospective comparative study.
Participants: Sixty-six eyes from 54 patients with corneal ectasia were included in the study.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of corneal ultraviolet A/riboflavin collagen cross-linking (CXL) in patients with mild-to-moderate keratoconus.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Participants: Thirty-nine eyes from 30 patients who underwent CXL for progressive mild and moderate keratoconus were included.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intrastromal corneal ring segments implantation followed by same-day photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and ultraviolet-A/riboflavin collagen cross-linking (CXL) in patients with keratoconus.
Methods: Four patients (five eyes) were included in the study. All patients first underwent femtosecond laser-enabled placement of intracorneal ring segments (Intacs, Addition Technology).
