Purpose: Underestimation of IOP in a myopic patient may lead to misjudgment of the risk of glaucoma. This study investigated the influence of orthokeratology-induced change in CCT on IOP measured by the non-contact pneumotonometer (NCT), Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), and Pascal dynamic contour tonometer (PDCT).
Methods: This study was conducted to examine the eyes of 34 patients who received orthokeratology for myopia. CCT and IOP were measured, and IOP was obtained with the NCT, GAT, and PDCT. The associations between changes in measured IOP and change in CCT at different orthokeratology follow-up time points were evaluated by linear regression analysis.
Results: Change in IOP measured by the three tonometries correlated significantly with change in CCT after one-week application of orthokeratology. The correlation was strongest for NCT followed by GAT and PDCT. The changes in measured IOP corresponding to a 10 μm decrease in CCT were 0.7-0.9, 0.4-0.6, and 0.2-0.3 mm Hg for NCT, GAT, and PDCT, respectively.
Conclusions: The IOP measured by the three methods--NCT, GAT, and PDCT--decreased as a result of the change in CCT induced by orthokeratology. The influence on NCT and GAT was greater than that on PDCT.

W-Mo-V high-speed steel (HSS) is a high-alloy high-carbon steel with a high content of carbon, tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium components. This type of high-speed steel has excellent red hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. In this study, the alloying element ratios were adjusted based on commercial HSS powders.

Methods: Patients with indications for SMILE were enrolled in this study between November 2017 and March 2018. Patients were matched for age, spherical diopter, cylinder, spherical equivalent (SE), and lenticule thickness (LT), and then categorized into the thin cornea group (preoperative thinnest central corneal thickness [CCT] of 500 µm or less, 32 eyes) or normal cornea group (CCT of greater than 500 µm, 32 eyes).

Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly encapsulation is a promising technology for the protection and delivery of lactic acid bacteria. However, laboratory-scale encapsulation is often time-consuming, involves intensive protocols tailored for small-scale operations, requires substantial amounts of energy and water, and results in a low yield of encapsulated biomass. Scaling-up this process to a bench-bioreactor scale is not simply a matter of increasing culture volume as different key parameters (not particularly relevant at lab scale) become critical, including biomass production, the number of polymer layers, and the biomass-to-polymer mass ratio.
