Objective: Despite the increasing prevalence of contact lens (CL) wear, knowledge and compliance with proper care remain suboptimal. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge and compliance with lens care practices in patients attending a third-level institution in Northeast Mexico.
Methods: A cross-sectional study using a self-administered online survey was conducted.

Background/aim: The importance of an accurate determination of central corneal thickness (CCT) relies on its diagnostic and therapeutic implications in glaucoma, corneal ectasias, corneal edema and endothelial function monitoring, and refractive surgery suitability, among others. We aimed to analyze the repeatability, reproducibility, correlation, and laterality variations of CCT measurements performed with the Pentacam HR and the standard of care ultrasound A-scan (USP).
Methods: A cross-sectional study including CCT measurements of healthy individuals was performed by three independent examiners with the Pentacam HR and USP.
Background: To provide a review for general practitioners and medical specialists about the most common eye complaints and ocular manifestations in a COVID-19 patient.
Methods: Reviewed 50 articles referenced in 4 databases from 20 December 2019 to 16 September 2020.
Results: Of the 50 articles reviewed, 26 met the criteria for analysis and were included in the study.
Purpose: To report the therapeutic efficacy and safety of topical 0.1% lodoxamide in the long-term treatment of superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis.
Methods: Sixty-seven eyes of 34 patients with active SLK were studied.
Purpose: To compare postoperative pain associated with advanced surface ablation versus traditional photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
Setting: Codet-Aris Vision Institute, Tijuana, Mexico.
Methods: This prospective double-masked randomized study included 56 eyes of 28 myopic patients who received traditional PRK in 1 eye and advanced surface ablation in the contralateral eye.
Objectives: To describe a method to measure the progression of ocular cicatricial pemphigoid and to compare its facility with traditional methods used to measure the progression of the disease.
Methods: The proposed method consists of measuring (in millimeters) the total relative inferior conjunctival surface available in 3 gaze positions. This method was used to monitor 7 eyes of 4 patients with ocular cicatricial pemphigoid over 2 years.
