Effectiveness of an ACR-128 phakic lens implant after one year's follow-up

Introducción: La corrección de ametropías moderadas-severas mediante lentes fáquicas permite conservar la acomodación, además, de obtener una mejor calidad óptica, reversibilidad del procedimiento y la opción de corregir defectos refractivos residuales mediante cirugía corneal mínima invasiva. ...

Intraocular pressure predicts premature coronary atherosclerosis

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between intraocular pressure (IOP) and premature atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (PACAD) by comparing central corneal thicknesses (CCTs) measurements. METHODS: One hundred-eighty-six subjects were enrolled in this cross...

Impact of different clear corneal incision sizes on anterior corneal aberration for cataract surgery

ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate the impact of different sizes of steep meridian clear corneal incisions for phacoemul sification on anterior corneal higher-order aberrations. Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent 2.2-mm coaxial micro-incision cataract surgery or 2.75-mm coaxial small-inci...

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....

Severe corneal burn due to the accidental application of salicylic acid packed in a plastic dropper bottle

Biomédica (Bogotá); 40 (3), 2020
Eye burns due to the accidental application of pharmacological or nonpharmacological substances packaged in plastic dropper bottles have been described for more than three decades and continue to occur. These burns can cause potentially serious corneal injuries. We report the case of a patient who mistak...

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...
