cataract surgery, corneal shape change, nasal clear corneal incision, temporal clear corneal incision
This is a prospective randomised study of 100 patients’ left eye having undergone phacoemulsification either by a 2.4mm nasal clear corneal incision (CCI) group or temporal CCI group. The corneal astigmatic changes were compared between groups by power vector analysis,...
Does amniotic membrane transplant improve outcomes in chemical injuries?
This single centre, randomised, parallel-controlled clinical trial compared the outcomes of patients with Roper-Hall grade IV ocular chemical injury that had conventional treatment vs. combined medical treatment and amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT). They followed up 60 patients between August 2006...Lacrimal gland carcinoma outcomes

Combined PRK and CXL in keratoconus
This study aimed to investigate the results after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) followed immediately by standard 30-minute corneal cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus. This retrospective study included 26 eyes of 16 patients with keratoconus. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual...Intracameral sodium hyaluronate for postoperative hypotony after Baerveldt glaucoma implant

Fundus photography, telemedicine, training
The first phases of the FOTO-ED study found that emergency providers perform significantly better with fundus photography than with direct ophthalmoscopy in the detection of fundus abnormalities. The authors hypothesised that by providing additional training to emergency providers, this would...
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...Cavernous sinus thrombosis and orbital cellulitis
