Correction of pseudophakic presbyopia using Lasik with aspheric ablation profiles and a micro-monovision protocol.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of Lasik with aspheric ablation profiles and a micro-monovision protocol for correction of presbyopia in pseudophakic patients.

Patients And Methods: This study included 50 pseudophakic eyes of 25 patients. Full ophthalmic examination, dominant eye tests and tests for tolerance of anisometropia (1 or 2 diopters) were done preoperatively.

Evaluation of femtosecond laser in flap and cap creation in corneal refractive surgery for myopia: a 3-year follow-up.

Purpose: To evaluate femtosecond laser in flap and cap creation, detect some corneal biomechanical changes, and evaluate dry eye after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), Femto-LASIK, and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) with 3-year follow-up.

Patients And Methods: Preoperative evaluation taken: full ophthalmic examination, Pentacam, ocular response analyzer, ocular surface disease index (OSDI), and tear breakup time (TBUT). LASIK flap was created using Moria microkeratome in 30 eyes (LASIK group) and using VisuMax femtosecond laser in 38 eyes (FS-LASIK group) and SMILE was done by VisuMax in 35 eyes (SMILE group).

Tear Martix Metalloproteinase-9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 in Post-Lasik Ectasia.

Purpose: To estimate the concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in the tear film of cases with post-Lasik ectasia (PLE) to spot any role of these mediators.

Settings: Ophthalmology department, Benha University hospitals, Egypt.

Methods: Twelve eyes of 12 patients with PLE, 30 eyes of 30 patients with KC, 25 eyes of 25 subjects with uncomplicated Lasik and finally 25 eyes of 25 healthy subjects as a control group were studied.

Anterior Chamber Changes After Implantable Collamer Lens Implantation in High Myopia Using Pentacam: A Prospective Study.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes of the anterior chamber (AC) of the eye after implantable Collamer lens (ICL) implantation in high myopia by using the Pentacam.

Methods: The prospective study included 34 high myopic patients (34 eyes). All patients were treated with Visian implantable Collamer lens (ICL) (Staar Surgical Co.

Preoperative intravitreal bevacizumab use as an adjuvant to diabetic vitrectomy: histopathologic findings and clinical implications.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of intervals between preoperative intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB) and surgery on the components of removed diabetic fibrovascular proliferative membranes.

Design: Interventional, consecutive, prospective, comparative case series.

Participants: A total of 52 eyes of 49 patients with active diabetic fibrovascular proliferation with complications necessitating vitrectomy.
