Purpose: To investigate the agreement between the Goldmann tonometer (GAT), the air-puff tonometer, and the iCare tonometer in intraocular pressure (IOP) evaluation as well as their association with central corneal thickness (CCT) in normal participants, glaucoma patients, and patients following refractive surgery.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 204 eyes from 102 patients. The study consisted of three equal groups: group I (control group, = 34), group II (glaucoma patients on medication, = 34), and group III (refractive surgery patients, = 34).

Purpose: Severe congenital ptosis is commonly associated with poor levator function. This study compares the functional and cosmetic outcomes of open versus closed frontalis sling using Gore-Tex in the treatment of such conditions.
Methods: Randomized interventional comparative case series of 20 eyes of 13 patients with severe congenital ptosis with levator excursion < 4 mm.
Purpose: To evaluate postoperative outcome and recurrence rate after primary pterygium excision using preoperative versus intraoperative subpterygial Mitomycin C (MMC) injection.
Methods: Eighty-three eyes with primary pterygium were divided into 2 groups. Group A (35 eyes) was operated upon with pterygium excision 5 min after subpterygial injection of 0.
