Purpose: To determine whether artificial tears can reduce recurrence of pterygium after surgery.
Methods: A total of 128 primary pterygium cases after excision were randomized into two groups according to postoperative drugs: 64 cases received topical dexamethasone (control group), and 64 cases received topical dexamethasone and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (treatment group). The pterygium was removed with amniotic membrane graft technique in all cases.
Background: Pterygium may induce pressure and distortion on the corneal surface leading to ocular aberrations.
Objective: To evaluate higher order aberrations in pterygium eyes.
Material And Method: Thirty-two patients with unilateral primary pterygium were enrolled.
Background: Steroid eye drops were widely used for suppression ocular inflammation in many conditions. Unfortunately, steroid eye drops can cause many side effects; the important one was steroid-induced ocular hypertension that may progress to seconday glaucoma.
Objective: To evaluate incidence ofsteroid responder following topical dexamethasone use after pterygium excision with amniotic membrane graft.
Background: The corneal endothelial structure may be changed in diabetic patients, but the results were variable.
Objective: To compare the corneal endothelial structure including endothelial cell density, polymorphism, andpleomorphism, in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects.
Material And Method: The corneal endothelial structure of diabetic and non-diabetic subjects were measured by specular microscope (Confoscan4 (CS4), Nidek) for endothelial cell density, percentage of polymegathism, and percentage of hexagonal cells.
