Purpose: To report a case of retained anterior chamber graphite foreign body with subsequent inflammation 20 years later.
Observations: A 29-year-old female who presented with first episode of acute blurring of vision and eye redness was noted to have a retained intraocular graphite foreign body in her anterior chamber. She recalled being accidently hit by a mechanical pencil 20 years ago.
Purpose: To determine if lavender aromatherapy can reduce preoperative anxiety in cataract surgery patients.
Design: Single-center prospective randomized placebo-controlled trial.
Methods: Seventy-five patients awaiting cataract surgery were randomized to lavender essential oil or grape seed oil (control) and administered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.
Purpose: To compare the effect of flap-off epi-LASIK versus automated brush epithelial removal on pain and wound healing in low myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Methods: In this prospective intraindividual study 60 patients received surface ablation in each eye. Epithelial removal was performed by an automated brush technique in one eye (brush group) and epi-LASIK with flap removal (flap-off group) in the fellow eye.
Purpose Of Review: The aim of this article is to highlight the numerous contributions the US Navy has made to the field of laser refractive surgery. It summarizes and draws together published papers, national meeting presentations, and unpublished data of clinical and laboratory studies involving the excimer laser and the laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap.
Recent Findings: Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is the most widely performed refractive procedure in the US Navy, but this trend is slowly changing as femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK becomes more widely performed.
