Accuracy of formulas for intraocular lens power for eyes undergoing descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty and cataract surgery.

Background: To compare accuracy in intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in eyes undergoing combined cataract and Descemet stripping and automated endothelial keratoplasty (C-DSAEK) surgery of the following formulas: Barrett Universal II, EVO, Haigis, Hoffer Q, Holladay 2, Kane and SRK/T.

Methods: 72 eyes from 72 patients (38 males, (53%)) with a mean age 68.08 ± 8.

Analysis of Corneal Deformation in Paediatric Patients Affected by Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young Type 2.

Background: To evaluate corneal deformation in Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young type 2 (MODY2), paediatric subjects were analysed using a Scheimpflug-based device. The purpose of this analysis was to find new biomarkers for MODY2 disease and to gain a better understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease.

Methods: A total of 15 patients with genetic and metabolic diagnoses of MODY2 (mean age 12.

Combined photorefractive keratectomy and corneal collagen cross-linking for treatment of keratoconus: a 2-year follow-up study.

Background: Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is considered an effective procedure for slowing down or eliminating the progression of keratoconus. New techniques, in combination with CXL, have been proposed to stop the evolution of keratoconus and improve the visual function.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of combined photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with mitomycin-C (MMC) application and CXL in the management of grade 1-2 keratoconus over a 2-year follow-up.

Classification Tree to Analyze Factors Connected with Post Operative Complications of Cataract Surgery in a Teaching Hospital.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming ever more frequently applied in medicine and, consequently, also in ophthalmology to improve both the quality of work for physicians and the quality of care for patients. The aim of this study is to use AI, in particular classification tree, for the evaluation of both ocular and systemic features involved in the onset of complications due to cataract surgery in a teaching hospital.

Methods: The charts of 1392 eyes of 1392 patients, with a mean age of 71.

Evaluation of Donor and Recipient Characteristics Involved in Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty Outcomes.

To evaluate both donor and recipient features involved in visual acuity restoring and complication insurgence in eyes that have undergone Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). In this retrospective study, charts of 111 eyes of 96 patients (mean age 70.25 ± 8.

Analysis of Corneal Distortion after Myopic PRK.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the corneal biomechanical properties (CBP) and their behaviors after myopic refractive surgery both with Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and Corvis ST (CST). This retrospective study included 145 eyes of 145 patients with a mean age of 33.13 ± 9.

Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Analysis of Features Affecting Cataract Surgery Complications in a Teaching Hospital.

To evaluate the ocular and systemic factors involved in cataract surgery complications in a teaching hospital using artificial intelligence. One eye of 1,229 patients with a mean age of 70.2 ± 10.

CHM/REP1 Transcript Expression and Loss of Visual Function in Patients Affected by Choroideremia.

Purpose: To evaluate the disease progression in patients with clinical and genetic diagnoses of choroideremia during a long-term follow-up and to investigate the relationship between pathogenic variants in the CHM/REP1 gene and disease phenotypes.

Methods: We performed a retrospective longitudinal study on 51 affected men by reviewing medical charts at baseline and follow-up visits to extract the following ocular findings: best-corrected visual acuity, Goldmann visual field, optical coherence tomography, microperimetry. Data obtained from the analysis of DNA and mRNA were reevaluated for genetic classification of patients.

Standard, transepithelial and iontophoresis corneal cross-linking: clinical analysis of three surgical techniques.

Background: To evaluate the clinical results of standard, transepithelial (TE) and iontophoresis (I) corneal cross-linking (CXL), in patients with progressive keratoconus.

Methods: Thirty eyes of 30 patients with progressive keratoconus treated by CXL (10 by standard-CXL, 10 by TE-CXL and 10 by I-TE-CXL) with 12 months of follow-up. Pre- and postoperative ophthalmologic testing were: uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refractive examination (spherical error, spherical equivalent), corneal topography (corneal astigmatism, simulated maximum, minimum and average keratometry), aberrometry (coma and spherical aberration), pachymetry and endothelial cell density.

Customized photorefractive keratectomy to correct high ametropia after penetrating keratoplasty: A pilot study.

Purpose: To evaluate preliminarily the safety and efficacy of customized photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to correct ametropia and irregular astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty (PK).

Methods: This pilot study included five eyes of five patients with a mean spherical equivalent of -5.1±1.
