Safety and Efficacy of Repeated Corneal Collagen Crosslinking in Progressive Keratoconus.

Purpose: Keratoconus is a progressive visually impairing disorder. Despite the beneficial effects of epithelial off-crosslinking (CXL) on the stabilization of keratoconus, progression may still occur. We report the efficacy and safety of a repeated CXL for significant progression of keratoconus after a single CXL procedure.

Minimally Invasive Micro Sclerostomy (MIMS) Procedure: A Novel Glaucoma Filtration Procedure.

Prcis: Intermediate-term results suggest that ab interno Minimally Invasive Micro Sclerostomy (MIMS) stent-less subconjunctival filtration procedure is a promising treatment option for patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Purpose: MIMS is a novel ab interno, stent-less, subconjunctival filtration procedure. This study set to investigate the safety, performance, and efficacy of MIMS in OAG patients.

Load to Failure of the Ankle Joint Complex After Fusion of the Subtalar and Talonavicular Joints: A Cadaveric Study.

Recent literature has proposed that restriction of joints in the rearfoot secondary to coalitions may lead to increased risk for severe ankle fracture after trauma. There is a paucity of literature regarding the rigidity of the ankle joint after arthrodesis of the subtalar and talonavicular joints. In this study, load-to-failure testing of cadaveric ankle joints with and without fusion of the subtalar and talonavicular joints was performed to determine if clinically relevant fracture patterns could be reproduced.

MIMS Procedure: Concept and Evaluation of Safety, Feasibility, and Efficacy in a Porcine Experimental Model.

Precis: We present a novel stentless filtration system used to create a permanent sclerocorneal drainage channel that reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) without the need to create a conjunctival incision or a scleral flap.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and preliminary performance of a novel surgical system, the minimally invasive micro sclerostomy (MIMS), in an in vivo porcine experimental model.

Materials And Methods: MIMS is an ab externo stentless filtration procedure.

Graft Survival After Penetrating and Endothelial Keratoplasty in Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome.

Purpose: To compare the survival of a first penetrating keratoplasty (PK) or endothelial keratoplasty (EK) for iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome with transplant survival in Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED) and pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK).

Methods: We compared graft survival of PK and EK for ICE syndrome for 2 time periods. We then compared graft survival in ICE syndrome with graft survival in FED and PBK.

Intraocular lens power calculation for eyes with an axial length greater than 26.0 mm: comparison of formulas and methods.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the accuracy of formulas and methods for calculating the intraocular lens (IOL) power for eyes with an axial length (AL) greater than 26.0 mm.

Setting: Ein-Tal Eye Center, Tel-Aviv, Israel.

Penetration of moxifloxacin through crosslinked corneas.

Purpose: To determine the ability of moxifloxacin to penetrate the rabbit eye after corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) with riboflavin and ultraviolet-A light irradiation.

Setting: Harlan Biotech Israel, Rehovot, Israel.

Design: Experimental study.
