PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of the SCORE Analyzer (Bausch+Lomb TechnoLas, Germany) in detecting forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC) in Asian eyes and validate its usefulness as a risk assessment system for post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) keratectasia. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated corneal topographies with the Orbscan IIz system and independently tested them with the SCOR...

The three-dimensional finite element model of the postoperative whole human eye after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery and axisymmetric air-puff were established, influencing factors in Air-puff test explored from displacement nephogram on anterior corneal surface. Our results showed that maximum depression was positively correlated with corrected diopter when peak pressure e...

This study addresses altered states of consciousness through Holotropic breathwork. technique can induce a state deep trance, giving access to different levels identity construction, particularly on the emotional, somatic and psychological level. considerable piece introspective work falls within school transpersonal psychology whose major contribution is integration transcendent nature into hu...

To match the teaching demands of STEM talents with global competence, an innovative intralinguodidactic methodological approach has been designed and experimented in curricular constructions English education. In this research project, construction reading course is focused on achieving training aim competence. The paper to develop a practical framework Scientific Literature Reading base intral...

PURPOSE To comprehensively assess the reliability of automated Pentacam (Oculus, Inc.) measurements. SETTING Flinders Eye Centre, Flinders Medical Centre, Bedford Park, South Australia, Australia. METHODS Both eyes of 35 normal volunteers were tested twice on the same day by 2 different observers. All automated values were recorded, and manual analysis of topographic maps was performed only...

PURPOSE To examine lateral and axial positioning of phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) with iris fixation in the anterior chamber and to examine short-term stability of the IOL position. SETTING The Netherlands Opthalmic Research Institute, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. METHODS Thirty patients participated in the study. Thirty-one eyes were implanted with the 204 type myopia IOL, 14 eyes with t...

PURPOSE We investigated effects of pupil shifts, occurring with changes in luminance and accommodation stimuli, on refraction components and higher-order aberrations. METHODS Participants were young and older groups (n = 20; 22 ± 2 years; age range, 18-25 years; and n = 19, 49 ± 4 years, 45-58 years, respectively). Aberrations/refractions at 4- and 3-mm diameters were compared between centere...

PURPOSE To report the incidence, visual and refractive outcomes, optical zone enlargement, and recentration using topography-guided CRS-Master TOSCA II software with the MEL 80 excimer laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) after primary myopic laser refractive surgery. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 73 eyes (40 patients) with complaints of night vision disturbances due to either a d...
