Purpose: To analyze the long-term effect of epikeratophakia (EKP) on corneal topography and visual acuity of eyes with keratoconus.
Methods: Retrospective study of 36 eyes 7.2 years after EKP.
Background: To evaluate the effectiveness of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) as an adjunct to ruthenium brachytherapy for treatment of choroidal melanoma with reduced radioactive dose.
Patients And Methods: In a prospective nonrandomised analysis 15 eyes with primary malignant melanoma of the choroid (posterior to the equator, thickness = 4.5 and base = 12 mm) were treated with TTT (diode laser at 810 nm, spot size 2 - 3 mm, energy 0.
