Aim: To determine the normative values of white-to-white corneal diameter with Orbscan II Topography System and to compare right and left eyes data in the normal young population.
Methods: A total of 1001 healthy participants aged 18-45y participated in this observational cross-sectional study. The study population consisted of 616 female and 385 male subjects. The corneal diameter was measured with the Orbscan II. The differences between genders, between right and left eyes and age-related changes were evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed using Student's t-test.
Results: The average white-to-white distance in our study population was recorded as 11.65±0.36 mm (median: 11.60 mm, mode: 11.70 mm, minimum: 10.50 mm and maximum: 13.60 mm). The white-to-white distance was 11.60±0.35 mm in males and 11.71±0.36 mm in females which was statistically different between genders (P<0.01). However, white-to-white distance was not statistically different between right and left eyes. In addition, this parameter decreased with increasing age. Considering 95% confidence interval, corneal diameter less than 10.93 mm and greater than 12.34 mm would be considered as microcornea and megalocornea, respectively based on this study population, using the Orbscan II topography.
Conclusion: Detailed description and analysis of corneal diameter with Orbscan demonstrate that the obtained average value of horizontal white-to-white is higher in male than female and decreases slightly with increasing age. Our data also suggests the cut off values for definition of microcornea and megalocornea, which can be employed with this population.

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Tokyo Hospital, 7-3-1, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: This report presents a case of fungal keratitis treated with penetrating keratoplasty using a cryopreserved cornea, highlighting the successful maintenance of corneal transparency post infection resolution.
Observations: A 57-year-old man complaining of pain in the right eye was referred to our hospital. Although diagnosed with fungal keratitis, his corneal scraping indicated the presence of , and he was unresponsive to voriconazole, micafungin, and pimaricin treatments.

Objective: To evaluate the longitudinal changes in the effective optical zone (EOZ) following hyperopic keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) and investigate factors influencing the EOZ.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 27 patients who underwent hyperopic KLEx. According to the transition zone (TZ) sizes, they were divided into two groups: group A (21 eyes) with a 2.

Purpose: Retrospective study to review scleral lens outcomes in the pediatric population over a 21-year period, at a single clinical center.
Results: A total of 209 pediatric eyes (108 males and 101 females), distributed between 97 right and 112 left eyes, of which 147 eyes had ocular surface disease and 62 eyes had irregular cornea/refractive conditions, were treated with scleral lenses over a 21-year period. The mean age at the time of treatment initiation was 10.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the changes in postlens fluid optical density, timing and quantity of lens settling, and the clinical performance between two different mini-scleral lenses.
Methods: Seventeen eyes of 10 patients with keratoconus were fitted with a 15-mm mini-scleral lens (AirKone Scleral Lenses; Laboratoire LCS, Normandy, France), and 15 eyes of 10 patients with keratoconus were fitted with 16.5-mm mini-scleral lenses (Misa Lenses; Microlens Contactlens Technology, Arnhem, The Netherlands).
Visual Performance Correlation with Corneal Aberrometric Profile and Pupil Size After Implantation of a Trifocal Hydrophobic IOL.

Département de Recherche Clinique, Institut Ophtalmologique de l'Ouest (IOO) Jules Verne, Nantes, France.
Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes obtained after cataract surgery involving the implantation of a trifocal hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) and to determine if pupil size and the corneal aberrometric profile correlate to visual acuity at different distances.
Methods: 49 patients (98 eyes) underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the placement of FineVision HP IOLs for presbyopia and were assessed at 1- and 3- to 6-months post-surgery. Postoperatively, refraction, monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) and the binocular defocus curve were measured.
