Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to measure the mechanical forces applied to the eyelids of keratoconus patients during eye rubbing, involving 57 participants with an average age of 34.8 years.
  • - Researchers identified three types of eye rubbing: fingertip (51%), knuckle (44%), and fingernail (6%), with knuckle rubbing applying the highest average force (9.6 N).
  • - Significant differences in the forces exerted were noted, providing essential data for future experimental models surrounding eye rubbing behaviors.

Purpose: To report the visual outcomes of the femtosecond laser-assisted multifocal aspheric corneal ablation profile using a mini-monovision approach and to evaluate if corneal multifocality was effective, and to report the relative benefits of this approach.

Patients And Methods: Bilateral femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis using a multifocal aspheric corneal ablation profile was performed on 19 hyperopic patients (38 eyes). They were divided into two groups based on eye dominance: dominant eye (DE) group targeting emmetropia and the nondominant eye (NDE) group targeting -0.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the macular status of patients treated with hydroxychloroquine before and after cessation of treatment.

Methods: Forty-two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus underwent ocular examination based on visual acuity evaluation, optical coherence tomography retinal thickness measurements, and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) records at first visit. The tests were repeated 6 months after treatment withdrawal and compared to the findings at their first visit.

September 2014

Swiss Eye Research Foundation, ORASIS Eye Clinic, Reinach, Switzerland ; University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Physics, Novi Sad, Serbia ; Medical Faculty, Military Medical Academy, University of Defense, Belgrade, Serbia.

We report the case of a 46-year-old female patient who was referred to our clinic (Orasis Eye Clinic, Reinach, Switzerland) seeking improvement of her distance and near visual acuity. Radial keratotomy (RK) was performed at a younger age on both eyes to correct -5 D myopia. The patient underwent a bilateral same-session multifocal corneal excimer femtosecond laser (Supracor) keratomileusis correction.

Purpose: The goal of this study is to show the efficacy and safety of an innovative surgical procedure regarding the treatment of open-angle and juvenile glaucoma known as sclerothalamotomy ab interno (STT ab interno).

Patients And Methods: Between February and July 2002 surgery was performed in 58 eyes of 58 consecutive patients, of which 53 were diagnosed with open-angle and 5 with juvenile glaucoma. The procedure was performed with the assistance of a custom-made high-frequency dissection probe (19 gauge with a tip of 0.
