BACKGROUND In this study, we used a Pentacam® device to evaluate the corneal changes that occur after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Our study included 60 eyes of 32 patients. All patients were treated for myopia and myopic astigmatism using LASIK. The eyes were examined preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively using a Pentacam to assess corneal changes with regard ...

Amaç: Maküler kornea distrofisinin (MKD) korneanın biyomekanik özellikleri üzerindeki etkisinin değerlendirilmesi ve sağlıklı bireyler ile karşılaştırılması amaçlandı.

Background Keratoconus (KCN) is a bilateral, progressive, and non-inflammatory disorder in the cornea, which results thinning protrusion of cornea. Objective This study aims to determine effectiveness using pachymetric progression indices (PPIs) grading severity KCN disease. Methods In this study, 76 patients with different stages were enrolled. The was graded according maximum keratometry, cor...

purpose: to examine the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) measurements obtained using scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation (vcc) and central corneal thickness (cct) measurements using pentacam in myopic patients methods: the study included 45 eyes from 45 myopic patients with intraocular pressure (iop) measurements≤21 mmhg. all participants had norma...

purpose : to investigate the correlation between corneal biomechanical properties and tomographic parameters of pentacam methods : corneal biomechanical properties and tomographic results of 36 normal subjects were measured by ocular response analyzer (ora) and pentacam and the correlation between these two measurements were analyzed with pearson correlation test with spss version16. results : ...
