Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how corneal epithelial thickness changes after ICRS implantation in keratoconus patients using advanced imaging technology.
- A total of 40 mild to moderate keratoconus patients underwent surgery, and significant increases in epithelial thickness were observed at one, three, and six months post-operation.
- The findings suggest that ICRS implantation not only helps modify the corneal shape but also leads to a thicker and more regular epithelium as a reaction to the changes in the corneal structure.
Purpose: To evaluate various selected Pentacam HR indices in a cohort of soft contact lens (SCL) wearers before and after SCL discontinuation.
Methods: Ninety right eyes of 90 SCL wearers (group 1) were compared to healthy controls (group 2). For group 1 eyes, Pentacam HR images were captured within one hour of SCL removal and after one month of discontinuation.
Purpose: To assess dry eye disease (DED) in thalassemic adolescents by evaluating corneal epithelial thickness (CET) and various dry eye clinical tests and correlate them to tissue iron overload.
Methods: The study included 120 Beta-thalassemia patients (11 to 18 years) and 120 matched controls. CET maps were captured using anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
