purpose: to report a case of candida glabrata endophthalmitis after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty methods: interventional case report results: a young male patient presented with asymptomatic white to cream-colored interface deposits two months after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. after a while, severe anterior chamber reaction together with decreased visual acuity developed. becaus...

PURPOSE To determine the shape and astigmatism of the posterior corneal surface in a healthy population with age, using Scheimpflug photography corrected for distortion due to the geometry of the Scheimpflug imaging system and the refraction of the anterior corneal surface. METHODS Scheimpflug imaging was used to measure in six meridians the cornea of the right eye of 114 subjects, ranging in...

In the article “Topographic Analysis of the Centration of the Treatment Zone After SMILE for Myopia and Comparison to FS-LASIK: Subjective Versus Objective Alignment” by Lazaridis et al.,1 a corneal thickness difference map was used to determine centration. The authors concluded that “the corneal thickness differential map in Scheimpflug-based systems is a useful tool to display the treatment z...

Aim: To study the posterior corneal topographic changes in eyes with partial flaps during laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods: Case records of 16 patients, who had partial flap in one eye during LASIK (group 1) and uncomplicated surgery in the other eye (group 2), were studied. Following occurrence of partial flap intraoperatively, laser ablation was abandoned in all the eyes...

BACKGROUND To examine the influence of posterior corneal astigmatism on postoperative refractive astigmatism in pseudophakic eyes after cataract surgery. METHODS The study enrolled 64 pseudophakic eyes of 50 patients (71.8 ± 9.9 years old, mean ± standard deviation) who had undergone phacoemulsification with non-toric IOL implantation. Refractive astigmatism was measured using an auto ref-ker...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation during laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap creation using WaveLight FS200 femtosecond (FS) platform. Methods: We conducted an ex vivo experimental animal model. FS platform used perform corneal LASIK freshly enucleated porcine eyes. measured changes IOP from application suction ring (suctio...

BACKGROUND To investigate the biomechanical properties of the cornea measured with the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and their association with the anterior segment parameters representing the geometric dimensions including the corneal volume and anterior chamber volume. METHODS A retrospective review of 1020 patients who visited the BGN Eye Clinic was done. The mean radius of the corneal cu...

AIM To analyze the correlations between ocular biomechanical and biometric data of the eye, measured by Scheimpflug-based devices on healthy subjects. METHODS Three consecutive measurements were carried out using the corneal visualization Scheimpflug technology (CorVis ST) device on healthy eyes and the 10 device-specific parameters were recorded. Pentacam HR-derived parameters (corneal curva...

PURPOSE Postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction is often due to scarring of the middle lamellae and/or vertical shortening of the anterior lamellae. Traditional reconstructive techniques involve a transconjunctival incision combined with a spacer graft. Other techniques involve a subperiosteal midface dissection or limited preperiosteal dissection. Elevation of the midface reduces the gravit...
