Detailed Distribution of Corneal Epithelial Thickness and Correlated Characteristics Measured with SD-OCT in Myopic Eyes.

Purpose: To investigate the detailed distribution of corneal epithelial thickness in single sectors and its correlated characteristics in myopic eyes.

Methods: SD-OCT was used to measure the corneal epithelial thickness distribution profile. Differences of corneal epithelial thickness between different parameters and some correlations of characteristics were calculated.

The Correlation Analysis between Corneal Biomechanical Properties and the Surgically Induced Corneal High-Order Aberrations after Small Incision Lenticule Extraction and Femtosecond Laser In Situ Keratomileusis.

Background. To investigate the correlation between corneal biomechanics and the surgically induced corneal high-order aberrations (HOAs) after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK). Methods.

[A novel rhodopsin E341ter mutation in patients with retinitis pigmentosa and corresponding clinical phenotype].

Objective: To detect rhodopsin (RHO) mutation in Chinese families with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) and study on the association of RHO gene mutations with clinical phenotype.

Methods: Twenty-seven members from 13 Chinese families with ADRP and 30 normal subjects were recruited. The complete coding regions of the rhodopsin gene were amplified with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then DNA single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique was used to screen RHO gene mutations.
