Refractive errors among children, adolescents and adults attending eye clinics in Mexico.

Aim: To assess the proportion of refractive errors in the Mexican population that visited primary care optometry clinics in fourteen states of Mexico.

Methods: Refractive data from 676 856 patients aged 6 to 90y were collected from optometry clinics in fourteen states of Mexico between 2014 and 2015. The refractive errors were classified by the spherical equivalent (SE), as follows: sphere+½ cylinder.

Refractive Lenticule Extraction Complications.

Purpose: To report the complications associated with refractive lenticule extraction (ReLEx) in its 2 modalities: femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLEx) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).

Methods: In this retrospective review of a consecutive clinical case series, all patients who had a complicated ReLex FLEx or ReLEx SMILE procedure at the Cornea and External Disease Department at the Instituto de Oftalmologia Fundacion Conde de Valenciana, Mexico City, Mexico, were included. Demographic characteristics, type of complication, and final refraction and visual outcomes were recorded.

Cicatricial changes in ocular pemphigus.

Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics of ocular involvement in patients with pemphigus at an ophthalmological referral center.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on patients with the immunopathological diagnosis of pemphigus examined between 1 January 2000 and 1 April 2010. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA), ocular symptoms, and ocular surface inflammatory and scarring changes were assessed.

Long-term refractive outcomes of posterior chamber phakic (spheric and toric implantable collamer lens) intraocular lens implantation.

To report the long-term refractive outcomes, safety, predictability, efficacy and complications of 349 eyes treated with posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs). A retrospective review of consecutive clinical cases of patients who underwent spheric implantable collamer lens (ICL) and toric ICL (TICL) implantation. The study included 349 eyes of 216 patients with sphere between +8 to -24 diopters (D) and 0 to -6.

Implantable collamer lenses after intracorneal ring segments for keratoconus.

To report the clinical characteristics and visual outcomes of patients with keratoconus treated with posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses after implantation of intracorneal ring segments (ICRS). This retrospective study included 11 eyes of eight patients diagnosed with keratoconus treated with ICRS and posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses. The preoperative and postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), preoperative and postoperative keratometric data, manifest refraction and spherical equivalent were recorded.
