Effect of laser photocoagulation, antiangiogenic therapy or a combined treatment on refractive outcomes of newborns with ROP.

Purpose: To determine the refractive outcome after treatment with laser photocoagulation, intravitreal antiangiogenic injection or both, for the treatment of type 1 ROP and/or aggressive posterior ROP using defocus equivalent terms. These results will be compared with the spherical equivalent (SE) notation in an initial refraction (during the first 3 years after treatment) and in a final evaluation (three years after treatment).

Methods: Clinical charts review of preterm patients who developed type 1 ROP and/or aggressive posterior ROP who were treated with laser photocoagulation, intravitreal antiangiogenic injection, or both, between January 2007 and December 2014 at Fundación Oftalmológica de Santander were reviewed.

Macular and choroidal thicknesses in a healthy Hispanic population evaluated by high-definition spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Purpose: To report normal values of macular and choroidal thickness obtained from a healthy Hispanic population using Optovue (Optovue Inc, Freemont CA, USA) spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Design: Observational, cross-sectional, correlation study.

Methods: A total of 290 eyes (145 healthy subjects) were included; 69% of subjects were female.

Single-Segment Intacs Severe Keratoconus 80% Stromal Depth Insertion With a Femtosecond Laser for Asymmetric Keratoconus: A Case Series.

Purpose: To study the efficacy of inferior, single-segment, 80% stromal depth Intacs severe keratoconus (SK) intracorneal ring segment implantation.

Design: A prospective case series.

Methods: Eighteen eyes from 15 patients with asymmetric keratoconus underwent 80% stromal depth Intacs SK single inferior segment implantation, using an IntraLase femtosecond laser for tunnel creation.
