[Treatment of Keratoconus with Corneal Cross-linking--Results and Complications in 2 Years Follow-up].

Objective: The objective of the study was to assessment of changes of monitored parameters after CXL. Incidence of complications were assessed in the whole group and in groups of patients divided according to the selected criteria. Evaluated parameters were also relations between them and in time.

[Trends in indications of perforating keratoplasty at the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty Hospital, Brno, Czech Republic, E.U., during the period 2008-2012].

Introduction: The aim of the study is retrospective analysis of perforating keratoplasty (PKP) indications at the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty Hospital, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, E.U., during the period of 5 years, from January 1st, 2008 to December 31st, 2012.

[The effectiveness of corneal cross-linking in stopping the progression of keratoconus].

Objective: Objective of the study was to prove the efficiency of corneal cross-linking (CXL) in stopping the progression of keratoconus.

Methods: In this study were included 58 eyes of patients with progressive keratoconus who underwent CXL according to the Dresden protocol in the years 2007-2009 at the Ophthalmic clinic FN Brno Bohunice. The eyes of patients were divided into four groups according to the change of maximum curvature of the cornea two years after CXL.

[Supracor, Laser Correction of Presbyopia: One-year Follow-up Outcomes].

Purpose: Evaluation of one-year postoperative results after Supracor laser procedure.

Methods: The study group consisted of 8 hyperopic patients (16 eyes) seeking alternatives to wearing glasses for both distance and near vision. These patients underwent Supracor refractive surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology of The University Hospital Brno in the time period from July 2012 to February 2013.

[The use of confocal corneal microscopy in the Cogan microcystic dystrophy diagnosis and follow-up of the ultrastructural changes after phototherapeutic keratectomy].

Unlabelled: Confocal microscopy represents modern, non-invasive, semi-contact examination method making possible to visualize separate corneal layers (from the endothel to the epithel) in high resolution. Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) is a method using argon-fluoride laser with 193 nm wavelength to treat corneal surface diseases.

Aim: To evaluate the use of confocal microscopy for epithelial basal membrane dystrophy diagnosis (Cogan microcystic dystrophy) and following corneal ultra-structural changes in vivo after PTK.
