PURPOSE To assess the outcome of Ferrara intracorneal ring segments for keratoconus. SETTING Private practice and university hospital, Porto Alegre, Brazil. METHODS In this retrospective noncomparative interventional case series, 51 keratoconus eyes of 47 patients that had Ferrara intracorneal ring segment implantation were reviewed. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-correcte...

The present study analyzes the complications of intracorneal ring segment implantation using a femtosecond laser for channel creation in patients with keratoconus. This technique, as in all surgical procedures, a risk of complications is always present and must be addressed appropriately to ensure that optimal results are achieved with the least possible incidence of adverse effects. We fully d...

PURPOSE To investigate the characteristics of the corneal topography with three-dimensional (3-D) anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) following Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). METHODS Thirty-four eyes of 33 patients following DSAEK were studied. In addition to conventional topographic maps, the elevation map of the intrastromal interface and...

PURPOSE To compare the effect of spherical aberration on optical quality in eyes with two different aspherical intraocular lenses. METHODS 120 eyes of 60 patients underwent phacoemulsification. In patients' eyes, an aberration-free IOL (Aspira-aA; Human Optics) or an aberration-correcting aspherical IOL (Tecnis ZCB00; Abott Medical Optics) was randomly implanted. After surgery, contrast sensi...
