PURPOSE Recent studies report that increased corneal edema because of contact lens wear under closed lids is associated with elevated Goldmann intraocular pressure (GAT IOP). We sought to assess whether the impact of postoperative corneal edema on GAT IOP would be similar and to determine the differential effect of different amounts of edema. METHODS The setting is a tertiary level cataract c...

In their recent article, Goldich et al. found that corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), and central corneal thickness were significantly higher in diabetic eyes than in healthy eyes and CH was claimed to be related to the corneal stiffness. However, we found significantly lower CH values in diabetic eyes than in eyes of healthy subjects. We believe that the statements that ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between corneal hysteresis (CH) and the corneal resistance factor (CRF), which are both novel methods of analyzing ocular rigidity/elasticity, and various corneal characteristics, mainly corneal volume in normal subjects. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 500 normal eyes of volunteers. An ocular response analyzer (ORA...

Background: To evaluate the agreement in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and Tono-Pen XL (TXL) with the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) and to examine corneal biomechanical properties in aphakic glaucoma patients with a central corneal thickness (CCT) >600 µ. Methods: Thirty-six eyes of aphakic glaucoma patients (group 1) and 40 eyes of normal chil...

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of corneal cross-linking on keratoconic eyes in the pediatric age group. Setting: Private laser center, Haifa, Israel, affiliated to Hadassah Hospital, Jerusalem. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 29 eyes of 20 children treated with corneal cross-linking with aim to arrest the progression of keratoconus. We preformed collagen corneal cross-linking using...
