The aim of this work is to compare the findings of keratometric values and their differences at various refractive errors. The eccentricity of the cornea in the sense compared to the possible influence of refraction of the eye is topographically observed. Groups of myopia, hyperopia and emmetropia (as a control group) are always represented in total 600 eyes. The studied cohort in total of 300 ...

Unusual Secondary Displacement of Intacs Segments—Superimposition of Distal Ends We report a case of unusual secondary displacement of intrastromal corneal ring segments (Intacs; Addition Technology, Des Plaines, Illinois) away from the incision to the extent that the inferior ends overlapped in the tunnel. A 57-year-old man presented with unilateral keratoconus in the left eye with recent cont...

Purpose To compare biometric parameters between primary angle closure with longer axial length (AL) and those with medium or shorter AL. Methods We prospectively recruited 138 primary angle-closure patients. Low-coherence interferometry and ultrasound biomicroscopy examinations were performed before laser peripheral iridotomy and pilocarpine treatment. AL was categorized as shorter (<22.5 mm)...

PURPOSE To compare preoperative methods for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power versus the intraoperative wavefront aberrometer in eyes with a history of refractive surgery. METHODS A retrospective study of 46 eyes (33 patients) with previous refractive surgery that underwent subsequent cataract surgery was conducted. Suggested IOL power predicted by ORange intraoperative wavefront aberr...

PURPOSE To examine the outcomes of photoastigmatic refractive keratectomy using corneal and refractive parameters for myopia and astigmatism in eyes with forme fruste and mild keratoconus. SETTING Private practice, Melbourne, Australia. METHODS Photoastigmatic refractive keratectomy was performed with a Star 1 or Star 2 laser (Visx) in 45 eyes with forme fruste or mild keratoconus using the...
