Effect of contact lenses on ocular biometric measurements based on swept-source optical coherence tomography

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 82 (2), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: To determine the reliability of swept- source optical coherence tomography in cases in which soft contact lenses cannot be removed when acquiring biometric measurements. Methods: Eight subjects were included and only one eye per participant was analyzed. Each eye was measured six time...

Ângulos visuais: Artigo sobre a importância para o Implante de Lentes Intraoculares Multifocais

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 77 (5), 2018
Resumo Objetivos: Medir o ângulo lâmbda (AL) em indivíduos no pré-operatório de facectomias, correlacionando a sua presença com o comprimento axial e o esférico dos olhos. Sugerir condutas para o implante de LIO multifocal de acordo com a presença do ângulo lâmbda. Métodos: Estudo transversa...

Corneal Astigmatism in cataract surgery candidates

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 77 (5), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To report the prevalence and analyse corneal astigmatism patterns in cataract surgery candidates. Methods: Researchers examined 2136 eyes from 1204 patients for cataract surgery from 1 January to 31 December 2016. All the candidates were evaluated with partial coherence interferometry...

Analysis between two optical biometric devices in patients with cataract

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 77 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the correlation of optical biometry and target with variable ages, anterior chamber depth, axial length, R1/K1 and R2/K2 established by two optical biometry devices in patients with cataract. Methods: The study included the analysis of 348 medical records, from which 503 c...

Two-staged treatment for advanced keratoconus in children

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 77 (3), 2018
Abstract We present a case of a 12-year-old patient with advanced keratoconus in both eyes who received a two-staged treatment in the right eye (OD) to decrease keratoconus progression rate and rehabilitate patient's vision. At the initial clinical examination, visual acuity without correction in OD was ...
