Purpose: There is a lack of research examining the effects of Muslim prayer (Salat) positions on the intra-ocular pressure (IOP). Considering its involvement with postural changes, this study aimed to investigate the changes in the IOP upon assuming Salat positions before, immediately after, and after 2 minutes of prayer in healthy young adults.
Methods: This prospective, observational study recruited healthy young individuals aged between 18 and 30 years.
Purpose: To investigate riboflavin concentration on enzymatic resistance following corneal cross-linking (CXL).
Methods: Ninety-six porcine eyes were divided into five groups in two treatment runs. Group 1 remained untreated.
The aim of this study was to investigate corneal enzymatic resistance following epithelium off and on riboflavin/UVA cross-linking (CXL). One hundred and fourteen porcine eyes were divided into four non-irradiated control groups and seven CXL groups. The latter comprised; (i) epithelium-off, 0.

Methods: A total of 66 enucleated porcine eyes, with the corneal epithelium removed, were divided into 6 groups. Group 1 remained untreated.
Purpose: To examine the effect of standard and accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) on corneal enzymatic resistance.
Setting: School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom.
