Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the potential risk factors and causes of infectious and sterile keratitis after accelerated collagen cross-linking.
Methods: Case records of 968 eyes that underwent accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking (ACXL) over the period of 4 years were reviewed retrospectively. ACXL was done using (Avedro KXL system, Waltham, MA, USA) 9 mW/cm for 10 min protocol providing total energy of 5.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a new technique called vertically split conjunctival autograft (CAG) for treating primary double-head pterygium, aiming to assess its long-term outcomes.
- It involved 95 patients treated from January 2013 to January 2017, with a follow-up period averaging over 14 months, revealing a low recurrence rate of 2.10%.
- The technique showed minimal complications, with the most frequent issue being graft edema, which resolved on its own, confirming the method's effectiveness in reducing recurrence compared to traditional approaches.
Purpose: To compare the visual outcomes and higher order aberrations (HOAs) following wavefront optimized (WFO) laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) versus topography-guided customized ablation (TCAT) LASIK for myopia and myopic astigmatism.
Methods: Patients who underwent femtosecond-assisted LASIK for myopic correction between August 2016 and October 2017 were included in this interventional prospective case series. The following parameters were evaluated preoperatively and at 3 months' postoperative visit: uncorrected distance vision acuity (UDVA) and corrected distance vision acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction, and HOAs.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe a modified technique of using conjunctival tissue from the pterygium itself without any rotation of graft for the primary pterygium in eyes with glaucoma filtering bleb, glaucoma suspects, and in primary double-head pterygium using fibrin glue.
Methods: In this retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series, 98 eyes of 98 patients with primary pterygium operated between July 2011 to July 2016 were included. They underwent this technique from the pterygium tissue itself.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe a modified technique of vertically split-conjunctival autograft (CAG) for primary double-head pterygium and evaluate its postoperative outcome.
Methods: In this retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series, 87 eyes of 87 patients of double-head pterygium from June 2009 to June 2015 were included. They underwent vertical split CAG.
