Long-term outcomes of deep anterior lamellar versus penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus
This is a retrospective consecutive and comparative case series of keratoplasties (228 deep anterior lamellar keratoplasties (DALKs) and 274 penetrating keratoplasties (PKs)) in a single centre by one surgeon in France, between 1993 and 2021. Graft survival was 96.7% at...
Differences in strabismus surgery outcomes in preterm vs full-time birth infants
This study aimed to analyse motor and sensory outcomes of strabismus surgery in 70 preterm (group 1) and 242 full-term (group 2) infants. Group 1 mean gestational age and birth weight were 31.25 ±2.51 weeks and 1562.70 ±412.82g. Pre and...
