Can closing the eyelid during riboflavin induction phase of crosslinking increase corneal thickness?
Corneal crosslinking (CXL) with riboflavin and UVA irradiation is the standard treatment for preventing progression of keratoconus. Thinning of the cornea during the riboflavin loading phase was reported in previous studies which used riboflavin with dextran. A minimum stromal thickness...
Clinicopathologic factors and survival in patients with sebaceous carcinoma of eyelid
This is a population-based analysis performed to evaluate the prognostic factors and survival of patients with sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid. Patients with eyelid sebaceous carcinoma from 1973-2013 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database and...
Ptosis procedure compared to upper blepharoplasty on dry eye syndrome
In this prospective, comparative case series, the authors compare the effect of combined blepharoplasty and Muller muscle conjunctival resection (MMCR) to an upper blepharoplasty in dry eye syndrome. The study was approved by the local institutional review board and participants...
Comparison of vertical rectus muscle transpositions
The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the amount of correction obtained and the postoperative drift that occurred with two frequently used vertical rectus muscle transposition (VRT) procedures to determine the ideal immediate postoperative alignment. Twenty-seven patients underwent...
Light tolerance in infectious keratitis
The authors presented the findings of a study that aimed to identify the maximum irradiance (power received by a surface per unit area) that can be tolerated by photophobic patients with infectious keratitis (IK). They recruited 30 patients (14 women...
IOL power calculation formulas for myopic eyes undergoing cataract surgery after excimer laser
The authors set out to compare the accuracy of four no-history formulas: Barrett True-K, Haigis-L, Shammas-PL, and Triple-S to calculate the intraocular lens (IOL) power in eyes with previous myopic photorefractive keratectomy or laser in situ keratomileusis, according to their...
The effects of ab-interno XEN gel implantation on postural IOP elevations
The study involved 18 patients with XEN gel implants, 30 patients who had trabeculectomy, and 30 medically managed glaucoma patients. All patients in XEN gel implant and trabeculectomy groups had at least 11 months of follow-up following successful surgery resulting...
Visual outcomes after surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in era of microincision vitrectomy
This is a prospective, multicentre, nationwide study between 2016 and 2017, to investigate the preoperative ocular factors, surgical techniques (pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or scleral buckling (SB), or combined procedures) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and postoperative best corrected visual...
Binocular viewing amblyopia therapy
The authors compared conventional occlusion therapy for amblyopia with binocular viewing amblyopia therapy (MFBF) for effects on binocular vision and visual acuity. During MFBF the amblyopic eye perceives the target while the fellow eye perceives the background. Both eyes see...
Surgical outcomes for constant and intermittent exotropia
This study evaluated the surgical results for constant and intermittent exotropia to investigate the factors that might influence the surgical results in a Scandinavian population. This was a retrospective study from 2011-2015 during which time 633 patients had strabismus surgery...
Comparison of treatment regimes for APROP
The authors evaluated the risk factors and treatment outcomes of various treatment options for APROP including intra-vitreal anti-VEGF injections, laser treatment and a combination of both. This was an observational study of all consecutive cases of untreated APROP from 2018-19...
