Influence of FLEx and SMILE on corneal nerve density and ocular surface
This was a prospective study designed to compare the influence of femtosecond lenticule extraction (FLEx) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) on the corneal nerve density and ocular surface for myopic correction. Thirty patients underwent bilateral lenticule extraction. One eye...
Cataract surgery in small adult eyes
This is a retrospective audit of a five year study period, between the periods of January 2006 to December 2010, where a surgical log book search was performed. The inclusion criteria of this study were intraocular lenses (IOL) power greater...

Ginko bilboa extract affects hypoxic retinal pigment epithelial cells
Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterised by choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) formation. It is thought that localised hypoxia within the retina results in overexpression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which induces CNVM formation. VEGF...
Culture positivity of needles for IVT injections
Given the worldwide use of intravitreal (IVT) injections, the authors of this paper set out to evaluate the rate of culture positivity of the needles used in routine IVT injections and compare this positivity between 27-gauge and 30-gauge needle tips....
Results of corneal cross-linking in very steep corneas
Corneal cross-linking (CXL) has been shown to be a safe and valid treatment option for progressive keratoconus and have shown an arrest of progression with a low failure rate of 0% to 2.8% in mild to moderate keratoconus. A Kmax...
