Aim: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and feasibility of superficial corneal opacities treated by excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) combined with small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE)-derived corneal stromal lenticule transplantation.
Methods: A retrospective interventional case series of nine patients aged 12-59y with superficial corneal opacity caused by different pathologies who underwent standardized PTK combined with SMILE-derived corneal stromal lenticule transplantation was examined. Lenticule patches were fixed with fibrin glue.
Purpose: Cosmetic products applied to the periocular area can cause skin sensitivity reactions, and manufacturers routinely test the safety and tolerability of products in development. This research was sponsored by Bausch + Lomb to evaluate three Lumify Eye Illuminations products: a lash and brow serum, a hydra-gel eye cream, and a micellar water eye makeup remover.
Methods: A cumulative irritation test (CIT) study and a repeated insult patch test (RIPT) study enrolled adult males or females with no known sensitivities to cosmetic products.
