Aims: To investigate the impact of different corneal diameters on corneal morphology and biomechanical outcome during preoperative screening for corneal refractive surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 300 patients who underwent corneal refractive surgery at Eye and ENT Hospital, Fudan University between October 2023 and December 2023. All patients had no history of keratoconus or previous corneal surgery. Patients were categorized into two groups based on corneal topography measurements: (1) normal corneal diameter group (n=159), those with corneal diameter ranging from 11.5 mm to 12.0 mm; (2) abnormal corneal diameter group (n=141), those with corneal diameter smaller than 10.0 mm or larger than 12.5 mm. Corneal thickness, morphologic data, and biomechanical data were measured using Pentacam corneal topography. Correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between corneal diameter and various corneal topography and biomechanical data.
Results: Significant differences were observed in corneal topography data including BFSf (F=43.21), BFSb (F=30.24), Df (F=15.32), Dp (F=32.36), Da (F=9.66), D (F=58.36), PPIavg (F=32.64), and ARTmax (F=12.06) between the groups (P<0.05). Additionally, BFSf, BFSb, Db, Dp, D, and PPIavg exhibited statistically significant differences between any two groups (P<0.05). Significant differences were also found in Df, Da, and ARTmax between small and large corneas, as well as between normal-sized and large corneas (P<0.05). Correlation analysis indicated negative correlations between corneal diameter and A1V (r=-0.12), HCdArcLength (r=-0.17), CBI (r=-0.27), bIOP (r=-0.13), Df (r=-0.025), PPIavg (r=-0.028), and TBI (r=-0.27). Conversely, BFSf (r=0.009), BFSb (r=0.001), PD (r=0.15), and ARTH (r=0.37) displayed positive correlations with corneal diameter.
Conclusions: Corneal diameter significantly affects preoperative screening for corneal refractive surgery. Smaller corneal diameters exhibit a greater influence on the corneal topography BAD analysis system.

Department of Mathematical Sciences, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, 01609, USA.
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.

Introduction: Fungal keratitis is a leading cause of corneal blindness, with current antifungal treatments having limited efficacy. One promising treatment modality is Rose Bengal (RB) photodynamic antimicrobial therapy (PDAT) that has shown mixed success against fungal keratitis. Therefore, there is a need to explore the antimicrobial efficacy of other green-light activated photosensitizers that have deep penetration in the cornea to combat the deep fungal infections, such as Erythrosin B (EB) and Eosin Y (EY).

Purpose: To explore the associations between myopia defocus dosage (MDD), aberration coefficients (primary spherical aberration and coma), and axial elongation in children undergoing orthokeratology (ortho-k) with back optic zone diameters (BOZD) of 5 mm and 6 mm over 2 years.
Methods: Data from 80 participants from two ortho-k studies were analyzed: 22 and 58 children wore lenses with 5-mm and 6-mm BOZD, respectively. Four MDD metrics were calculated from corneal topography data over a 5-mm pupil for the 1-month and 24-month visits: the circumferential, flat, steep, and volumetric MDD.
