Corneal molecular and cellular biology for refractive surgeon

This is an interesting literature review that looks into the recent advances concerning the corneal molecular and cellular processes that are involved in the wound healing response after excimer laser surface ablation and LASIK surgery. It talks about the complex...

High myopia macular thickness

The purpose of this study was to compare macular thickness and volume in 15 highly myopic (>-6D) young children with 11 age-matched controls (-2 to +4D refractive errors) using Stratus third generation OCT. Mean spherical equivalent was -9.42 ±2.81D for...

Cytotoxic effect of voriconazole on human corneal epithelial cells

Voriconazole is a second-generation synthetic derivative of fluconazole with broadened antifungal spectrum. It is becoming the drug of choice for fungal keratitis. Voriconazole eye drops are not available commercially, thus have to be prepared by diluting the intravenous formulation containing...

Surgical treatment for monocular elevation deficit

Type 1 monocular elevation deficiency is a restrictive form identified by positive results on forced duction testing in elevation, normal elevation forced generation test, elevation of saccadic velocity and absence of poor Bell’s phenomenon. The authors aimed to evaluate the...

Evaluation of ectopia lentis et pupillae (ELP)

The ADAMTSL4 gene encodes proteins for cellular adhesion, angiogenesis, nervous system development and anterior / posterior segment structures. This case report describes a four-year-old female with diagnosis at referral of ELP. A three-generation pedigree was obtained and was negative for...

Incidence, microbiological profile and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of IK

This is a retrospective single centre study of all patients (with corneal scraping) including their demographic factors, microbiological profiles, and in vitro antibiotic susceptibility of infectious keratitis (IK), studied between 2007 and 2019. The incidence of IK was 34.7/100,000 people...

Survey of paediatric ophthalmology practice in the US

The purpose of this study was to develop a survey to assess possible solutions for an economic turnaround in paediatric ophthalmology. A 12-item survey was circulated with questions related to practice location, setting and years in practice. Responses were received...
