Two-Step Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy with WaveLight EX500 Platform for Adolescents and Adults with Low to Moderate Myopia: A 12-Month Comparative Evaluation.

Purpose: To compare the visual and refractive results obtained after two-step TransPRK using an EX500 excimer laser for low to moderate myopic correction in adolescents and adults.

Patients And Methods: Retrospectively, 91 eyes of 52 patients were categorized into four groups based on age and level of myopia. The demographics, data of efficacy, safety, predictability, stability, and post-operative complications were evaluated at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-operatively.

Incidence and predisposing factors of anterior chamber gas bubbles during femtosecond laser flap creation.

Aim: To investigate the incidence and the predisposing factors of anterior chamber (AC) gas bubbles during femtosecond laser (FS) flap creation for laser keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods: All patients who underwent FS-LASIK surgery at CMU LASIK Center between January 2013 and May 2016 were retrospective reviewed. Preoperative and intraoperative data including keratometry, white-to-white (WTW) corneal diameter, flap parameters (diameter, thickness, hinge position, and tunnel length) and pulse energy were reviewed and compared between incident group and control group.

A Randomized Controlled Double-Masked Study of Transdermal Androgen in Dry Eye Patients Associated With Androgen Deficiency.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and quality of life (QOL) of transdermal androgen in treatment of dry eye patients associated with androgen deficiency.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Methods: Fifty patients with dry eye from a tertiary eye center in northern Thailand were randomized to receive transdermal androgen (AndroGel; Besins Healthcare, Brussels, Belgium) or placebo for 4 weeks.

Ocular Basidiobolomycosis: A Case Report.

Background: Ocular basidiobolomycosis is an unusual infection caused by fungus of the order Entomophthorales. This fungus has been previously reported as a common cause of skin, subcutaneous, and gastrointestinal tract infection. The fungus isolation and its typical characteristics are clues for diagnosis of this uncommon pathogen.

Pseudomonas Scleritis following Pterygium Excision.

Purpose: The aim of this case report was to describe a patient who presented with scleritis after pterygium excision. The study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Methods: The record of a patient who was diagnosed as scleritis after pterygium excision was retrospectively reviewed for history, clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, treatments, and outcomes.

Corneal Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by .

Purpose: To report a rare case of keratitis infected by .

Methods: A patient who was diagnosed as fungal keratitis caused by was retrospectively reviewed for history, clinical characteristics, risk factors, laboratory findings, treatments, and outcomes.

Results: A 63-year-old man with a history of trauma and saw dust in the left eye presented with a corneal ulcer.

Corneal Ring Infiltrates Caused by in a Patient with Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

Purpose: To describe corneal ring infiltrates caused by in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) who wore contact lenses.

Methods: A case study of a patient with keratitis due to an infection caused by and exhibiting corneal ring infiltrates was reviewed for history, clinical manifestation, microscopic study, and management.

Results: A 29-year-old man who had a history of contact lens wear and HIV-1 infection was admitted to hospital because of blurred vision, redness, and corneal infiltrates in the shape of a ring in the left eye.
