Purpose: To comprehensively evaluate the tilt of the crystalline lens in phakic eyes and its relationship with optical biometry parameters.

Setting: The retrospective analysis was conducted at the Department for Ophthalmology and Optometry, Kepler University Clinic in Linz, Austria.

Design: Lens tilt assessment was performed through a combined analysis of optical biometry (IOL Master 700) and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) data to understand its relationship.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) scans for Pseudomonas keratitis.

Methods: Patients with treatment-naïve keratitis underwent AS-OCT imaging. The following parameters were evaluated: corneal thickness (CT), infiltrate thickness (IT), infiltrate diameter (ID), tissue loss/gain, entropy, and distance of the lesion from the corneal pupillary center.

Purpose: To evaluate rotational stability, astigmatism correction, visual outcomes, and patient satisfaction after implantation of the toric intraocular lens (IOL) Torica-aA following cataract extraction over a 6-month follow-up period.

Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 40 eyes of 26 patients presenting with preexisting corneal astigmatism of 1.00 to 2.

Objective: The aim of this study was to measure forearm blood flow (FBF) to detect any possible changes that might indicate vascular disorders in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Research Design And Methods: FBF was measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), venous occlusion at rest, and after handgrip exercise. A total of 40 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and 40 healthy children and adolescents (6-18 years) were matched for age and sex for comparison.
