Purpose: To evaluate the effects of ocular residual astigmatism (ORA) on refractive outcomes for patients with astigmatism after keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) and to identify the ratio of the ORA/manifest refractive cylinder at the corneal plane (MRC) resulting in a greater index of success (IOS).

Methods: In total, 892 right eyes that underwent KLEx surgery were included. Astigmatic changes were evaluated using Alpins' vector analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the optimal shape of customized lenticules for stromal lenticule addition keratoplasty (SLAK) for off-centered ectasia.

Methods: Two different methods to create ex vivo models of eccentric-keratoconus were investigated. Twelve human corneas were used to create model 1 by a hyperopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and model 2 by masked phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) on the anterior corneal surface, whereas both types received myopic ablation of the posterior surface.

To investigate the correlation between corneal biomechanical characteristics ( and ) and corneal densitometry in myopia. The Pentacam (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) corneal densitometry (CD) and Corvis ST (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) exams were conducted prior to surgery for myopic patients who were intended to undergo small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). CD values (grayscale units, GSUs), and biomechanical parameters were obtained.
