Postoperative Pain Comparison Between Alcohol-Assisted and Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy Using Nepafenac Treatment: A Novel Study.
Ophthalmol Ther
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Tel Aviv Medical Center and Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, 6423906, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Introduction: The study aimed to compare postoperative pain between alcohol-assisted and transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy in patients who received the novel analgesic preoperative nepafenac treatment 2 days preoperatively and 3 days postoperatively. Pain, stinging, tearing, light sensitivity, and stress levels were evaluated.
Methods: The study included a retrospective analysis of 55 patients divided into two groups: bilateral alcohol-assisted photorefractive keratectomy (aa-PRK) and transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (transepithelial-PRK).
Femtosecond LASER-Assisted Double Intraocular Lens Exchange in Nanophthalmic Eyes.
Case Rep Ophthalmol
February 2024
Enaim Medical Center Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Introduction: Though patients with nanophthalmos frequently endure decreased quality of vision with contact lenses or spectacles, refractive surgery is generally an inadequate alternative due to the associated high refractive error. A refractive lens exchange (RLE) is an alternative option but is technically challenging, requiring accuracy in biometry measurements and procedures.
Case Presentation: This case discusses a 27-year-old female with nanophthalmos (axial lengths 17.
Corneal pseudoectasia: a case series.
Int Ophthalmol
February 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel.
Objective: To raise awareness of conditions that can tomographically mimic corneal ectasia and describe the actions required to avoid misdiagnosis.
Methods: We report a retrospective case series of seven patients presenting at two tertiary care centers in Israel with a presumed diagnosis of keratoconus or post-refractive ectasia. Upon further examination, the ectasia diagnosis was reconsidered and eventually ruled out.
Repeated Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Astigmatic Keratotomies in Post-Keratoplasty Eyes.
J Clin Med
July 2022
Enaim Medical Center Jerusalem, Tel Aviv 9438307, Israel.
Visual rehabilitation after a keratoplasty is often compromised due to high amounts of residual astigmatism. Femtosecond laser-assisted astigmatic keratotomy (FLAK) is gaining popularity in decreasing this astigmatism. Though one set of two incisions suffices in most cases, sometimes the treatment proves insufficient and additional treatment is required.

*Department of Ophthalmology, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (affiliated to the Sackler Faculty of Medicine), Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel; and †Enaim Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared outcomes of mushroom femtosecond laser-enabled keratoplasty (M-FLEK) with traditional penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in keratoconus patients, finding M-FLEK resulted in less postoperative astigmatism and better preservation of endothelial cells.
- Conducted over two years, it analyzed data from 26 M-FLEK and 33 PKP eyes on visual acuity, endothelial cell counts, and complications.
- Results showed similar best-corrected visual acuity between groups, but M-FLEK had lower mean manifest cylinder values and less endothelial cell loss, indicating it may be a safer option.
Simultaneous wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy and corneal collagen crosslinking after intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation for keratoconus.
J Cataract Refract Surg

Enaim Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of performing simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) on patients with keratoconus who had previously undergone intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation.
- Conducted at Enaim Laser Center in Jerusalem, the research assessed various eye health parameters over 12 months, including uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities, and keratometry values.
- Results showed significant improvements in visual acuity and corneal curvature post-treatment, indicating the safety and effectiveness of this combined procedure in enhancing the vision of patients with moderate keratoconus.
Retinal microvascular patency in the diabetic rat.
Int Ophthalmol
July 2004
Enaim Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.
Purpose: To study whether the patency to erythrocytes in retinal microvessels of diabetic rats is reduced or blocked before the vessels lose their patency to plasma flow.
Methods: We used recognized techniques to induce diabetic and galactose related microvascular retinal lesions in rats: (1) alloxan induction (2) streptozotocin induction (3) galactose-containing diet. The rats were followed up to 17 months.
Removal of corneal foreign bodies following laser in situ keratomileusis.
J Refract Surg
March 2002
Enaim Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.
Purpose: To report the outcome of uncomplicated removal of corneal foreign bodies in patients who previously underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Methods: Nine eyes of eight patients presented with corneal foreign bodies after LASIK.
Results: In three patients, diagnosis of corneal foreign bodies was delayed due to reduced pain and symptoms.
