Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes following femtosecond laser-assisted deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) with 75% of stromal dissection (predescemetic group) and femtosecond laser-assisted DALK using big-bubble technique with total stromal resection (descemetic group) for the treatment of keratoconus.
Subjects And Methods: Twenty eyes of 17 patients with keratoconus were studied. There were 10 eyes of 9 patients in predescemetic group and 10 eyes of 8 patients in descemetic group.
Background: To describe the initial outcomes and safety of anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) assisted by a femtosecond laser for stromal corneal pathology.
Methods: A non-comparative case series of 14 eyes (13 patients) with various stromal corneal diseases underwent ALK with a femtosecond laser. Femtosecond laser settings, technique, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and endothelial cell density (ECD) were measured.
Aim: To describe the initial outcomes and safety of femtosecond laser-assisted deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) for keratoconus and post-LASIK keratectasia.
Methods: In this non-comparative case series, 10 eyes of 9 patients underwent DALK procedures with a femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany). Of the 9 patients, 7 had keratoconus and 2 had post-LASIK keratectasia.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of latanoprost compared with timolol in the treatment of patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG).
Methods: Pertinent publications were identified through systematic searches of PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register and the Chinese Biomedicine Database. Randomized controlled trials comparing latanoprost with timolol in patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG) who had inadequate intraocular pressure (IOP) control after peripheral iridotomy (PI) were selected.
Background: Many observational studies have assessed the possible association between occupational cooking and uveal melanoma risk, but reported results are controversial. Our goal was to evaluate the association between occupational cooking and uveal melanoma risk by conducting a meta-analysis of observational studies.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched through June 2012 to identify all eligible studies.
