Corneal suture for acute corneal hydrops secondary to post-LASIK ectasia: a case report

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (6), 2020
ABSTRACT Corneal ectasia is one of the main complications of keratorefractive procedures. In this report, we describe a case of corneal ectasia after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), which progressed with acute hydrops and aqueous leakage and required a suture for correction....

Accelerated corneal cross-linking with hypo-osmolar riboflavin in thin keratoconic corneas: 2-year follow-up

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (4), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of accelerated corneal cross-linking in keratoconic corneas with thinnest pachymetry values of <400 µm. Methods: The study included 28 eyes of 24 patients. The uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuities (logMAR), flattest and s...

Mapping the corneal thickness and volume in patients with Down syndrome: a comparative population-based study

Does wearing swimming goggles affect corneal morphology in keratoconic eyes?

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (3), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: A significant transient increase in intraocular pressure in individuals wearing swimming goggles has been demonstrated in previous studies. These findings suggested that wearing swimming goggles could represent a significant risk factor for worsening of corneal parameters in patients w...

Corneal differences between healthy and subclinical patients assessed using two diferente corneal tomographers

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: To analyze subclinical keratoconus topography indexes using Pentacam and Orbscan-II measurements to identify evidences for seeking sensitive indexes to screen and diagnose subclinical keratoconus. Methods: Fifty healthy participants (50 eyes) and 40 patients with subclinical keratocon...
