Purpose. To evaluate the effect of preoperative and postoperative keratometry on the refractive outcome after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for moderate and high myopia. Methods. Records of 812 eyes (420 patients) with myopia ≥-6 D who had LASIK at Sohag Laser Center, Egypt, from January 2010 to November 2013, were retrospectively analyzed. Main outcome measures were postoperative correc...

AIMS A total of 97 triple procedures performed over a 6 year period were studied retrospectively to determine the best approach to calculate intraocular lens power. METHODS The cases were divided into two diagnostic categories. RESULTS After 1 year best corrected visual acuity was 20/40 or better in 37.5% of the cases of the 'modified group'. This group consists of patients with the diagnos...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Keratoconus is the most common primary corneal ectatic disease and has considerable importance in public health. Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) is a procedure to mitigate progression of keratoconus and reduce demand for corneal transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CXL on corneal topographic and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) by ...

A meta-analysis to compare ocular biometry measured by optical low-coherence reflectometry (Lenstar LS900; Haag Streit) and partial coherence interferometry (the IOLMaster optical biometer; Carl Zeiss Meditec). A systematic literature search was conducted for articles published up to August 6th 2015 in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Medline, Embase, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database a...

To study the keratometry of Indian pediatric eyes, effect speculum on reading, concordance hand held and automated unilateral bilateral cataract IOL power calculation. This was conducted as a cross- sectional observational 101 eyes children in age range 41 post-conceptional weeks to 144 months. All cooperative patients were subject followed by using keratometer with without speculum. Hand docum...

OBJECTIVES To report the keratometry data of pediatric cataractous eyes (randomly selected single eye of bilateral cases; cataractous eye of unilateral cases) and to compare the keratometry data of the unilateral cataractous eye with the corresponding noncataractous fellow eye. METHODS Retrospective review of preoperative data of patients who had undergone cataract surgery before 18 years of ...

AIMS To investigate the ability of a telecentric keratometer to describe the asphericity and curvature of convex ellipsoidal surfaces and human corneas. METHODS 22 conicoidal convex surfaces and 30 human corneas were examined by conventional keratometry. Additional keratometric measurements were made when the surface was tilted in the horizontal plane relative to the instrument optical axis. ...

We compared one-year outcomes of conventional (3 mW/cm(2), 365-nm ultraviolet-A light, 30 minutes) and accelerated (18 mW/cm(2), 365-nm ultraviolet-A light, 5 minutes) collagen crosslinking (CXL) in patients with progressive keratoconus. Main outcome measures were change in keratometry, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Nineteen patients in each group co...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the interchangeability of a Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam, Oculus) and a partial coherence interferometry keratometer (IOLMaster, Zeiss) for measures of keratometry and anterior chamber depth (ACD). A particular focus was to determine which Pentacam keratometry value best correlates with the IOLMaster and if these results can be used interchangeably in clinical practice. ...
