Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and reliability of a low-energy femtosecond laser with a high repetition rate for construction of deep anterior donor corneal lamellae. Methods: This was a prospective laboratory investigation. Twenty-five human corneal buttons were femtosecond laser cut to create thick ...
Purpose: To compare the ability to detect preoperative ectasia risk among LASIK candidates using classic ERSS (Ectasia Risk Score System) and Pentacam Belin-Ambrósio deviation index (BAD-D), and to test the benefit of a combined approach including BAD-D and clinical data. Methods: A retrospective nonran...
Objective: To compare refractive and vectorial outcomes of limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) versus toric intraocular lenses (IOL) in the treatment of preexisting corneal astigmatism at the time of phacoemulsification. Methods: This longitudinal observational case series assessed 62 eyes of 31 consecutive ...
OBJETIVO: Verificar os resultados da cirurgia de implante de segmentos de anel estromal para ceratocone e as possíveis correlações existentes entre o resultado cirúrgico e o estado biomecânico da córnea no pré-operatório. MÉTODOS: Dezenove olhos de 19 pacientes com ceratocone foram avaliados ant...
PURPOSE: To assess the repeatability of central corneal thickness measurement at the geometrical center (Central Corneal Thickness - CCT) given by the Pentacam High Resolution (HR) Comprehensive Eye Scanner (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) over time. METHODS: Prospective, single center, observational study. Tw...
OBJETIVO: Determinar a variação da ceratometria em olhos de pacientes portadores de espasmo hemifacial submetidos a tratamento com toxina botulínica. MÉTODOS: Foram incluídos 18 pacientes portadores de espasmo hemifacial que foram submetidos ao exame oftalmológico completo, além da topografia corn...
