Differences in corneo-scleral topographic profile between healthy and keratoconus corneas

Topographic and tomographic properties of forme fruste keratoconus corneas.

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of topography and tomography indices combined in discriminant functions to detect mild ectatic corneas. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the data of 143 eyes separated into three groups by the Corneal Navigator OPD scanning system (Nidek, Gamagori, Japan): normal (N; LASIK surgery with a 2-year follow-up; n = 72), forme fruste keratoconus (N top...

Depth profile study of abnormal collagen orientation in keratoconus corneas.

Corneo-scleral ulceration in periarteritis nodosa.

OCULAR complications occur in 10 to 20 per cent. of patients with periarteritis nodosa (Gaynon and Asbury, 1943; Wise, 1952), but so far very few cases of either corneal ulceration, corneo-scleritis, or scleritis have been documented, which have been associated with either periarteritis nodosa or the Wegener variety of non-healing granuloma of the nose (Harbert and McPherson, 1947; Ingalls, 195...

Corneo-scleral Suture in Cataract Extraction.

To the Editors of THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY. SIRs,-I have read with interest Mr. Affieck Greeves' letter in the correspondence section of the July number criticising the corneoscleral suture in cataract extraction. (See Brit. Ji. of Ophthal., May, 1938.) I agree with his preference for a conjunctival stitch on the grounds that a more liberal conjunctival flap is obtainable by this me...

Removal of corneo-scleral sutures; a simplified procedure.

OPINIONS are divided regarding corneal or corneo-scleral suturing after cataract extraction, and a variety of methods has been advanced. One of the disadvantages of suturing is the difficulty and danger of removing the sutures (Hughes, Guy, and Romaine, 1944; Hughes and Owens, 1947; Guyton, 1948; Roberts, 1952; Harrison, 1952; Arruga, 1956), and consideration has been given to the advantage of ...
