Eighty-micron flap femtosecond-assisted LASIK for the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 80-μm flap femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK and the early clinical and refractive outcomes in the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Setting: Private practice, outpatient.

Design: Prospective study.

Anatomical Changes of Full-Thickness Macular Hole Documented by Microscope-Integrated Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.

Background And Objective: To evaluate anatomical changes of idiopathic macular hole (MH) after internal limiting membrane removal and after passive suction at the hole's borders using microscope-integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT).

Patients And Methods: Five eyes of five subjects with full-thickness idiopathic MH underwent phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, pars plana vitrectomy, and internal limiting membrane (ILM) removal. iOCT was performed after ILM removal and after passive suction at the hole's borders.

SPONTANEOUS CLOSURE OF SIMULTANEOUS IDIOPATHIC MACULAR HOLES DOCUMENTED BY SPECTRAL-DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY.

Purpose: To report a case of spontaneous closure of simultaneous full-thickness macular hole.

Methods: Case report and literature review.

Results: A 67-year-old woman with small-diameter simultaneous macular holes was observed for a period of 5 months, and progression was documented with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Minimally Invasive Surgery for the Removal of Posterior Intraocular Foreign Bodies.

This is a prospective clinical assay that included six patients who were diagnosed with penetrating corneal injury, traumatic cataract, and posterior segment intraocular foreign body (IOFB). Following anterior segment repair and extraction of traumatic cataract by clear cornea phacoemulsification, a standard 25-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy was performed to find and release the IOFB. With active suction using a 25-gauge silicone tipped cannula, the foreign body was retrieved and safely placed in the anterior chamber.
