Purpose: To describe a case of late spontaneous postradial keratotomy corneal perforation after scleral contact lens (SCL) wear for optic correction.
Setting: Tertiary referral center for corneal pathology.
Design: Case report.
Purpose: To evaluate conjunctival impression cytology and HLADR expression changes after wearing scleral contact lenses (ScCLs) for moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED).
Design: Prospective interventional case series.
Methods: Forty-one eyes from 25 patients with moderate to severe DED were evaluated for Esclera ScCL treatment.
Article Synopsis
- * The research involved 47 patients and measured parameters such as corneal elevation, thickness, and anterior chamber depth, with findings indicating significant correlations (p<0.001) between SCL fit and several Pentacam measurements.
- * The results suggest that certain Pentacam parameters, particularly anterior chamber depth and corneal height, could effectively predict the best Esclera lens for keratoconus patients, highlighting the potential for improved personalized fitting in this group.
Williams syndrome: ophthalmological examination and review of systemic manifestations.
J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus
July 2014
Purpose: To evaluate the frequency and severity of ophthalmic manifestations and associated diseases, as well as the epidemiological data in patients with Williams syndrome.
Methods: The authors prospectively studied 30 patients clinically diagnosed as having Williams syndrome as confirmed by the fluorescence in situ hybridization test. Patient history included gender, age, race, education level, previous illnesses, and surgeries.
Efficacy and tolerability of a gatifloxacin/prednisolone acetate fixed combination for topical prophylaxis and control of inflammation in phacoemulsification: a 20-day-double-blind comparison to its individual components.
Clinics (Sao Paulo)
June 2013
Objective: To compare the efficacy and tolerability of a fixed combination of 0.3% gatifloxacin and 1% prednisolone(ZypredH) versus the individual components used separately (Zymar® and Predfort® ) for infection prophylaxis and inflammation control after cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation [corrected].
Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study of 108 patients who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation was conducted.
