PURPOSE: To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) values during a 3-month period after implantation of the new Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL; STAAR Surgical Company, Nidau, Switzerland) V4c design with CentraFLOW technology without iridotomy using a standard procedure followed by implantation of the conventional ICL V4b model.
PURPOSE: To monitor changes in corneal structure and level of inflammatory mediators in tears of myopic patients following orthokeratology (OK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS: Sixty-two myopic subjects were analyzed in this prospective study. Thirty-two had worn Paragon CRT contact lenses and 30 underwent standard LASIK. Thirty-two control subjects were also recruited. Pachometry and corneal...
OBJECTIVES: To study changes in tear film inflammatory mediators following continuous wear of silicone-hydrogel lenses and corneal refractive therapy with reverse geometry contact lenses. DESIGN: A prospective, case-control study. METHODS: Twenty-eight subjects had worn silicone-hydrogel lenses on a 30-night continuous wear basis. Thirty-two subjects had worn corneal refractive therapy lenses on an overnight ...
PURPOSE: To characterize the axial and off-axis refraction across the horizontal meridian of the visual field before and after myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery. This research took place at the Clinical Ophthalmologic-NovoVisión, Madrid, Spain. METHODS: Twenty-six ODs (mean age ± SD = 30.4 ± 4.8 years) of 26 patients who underwent LASIK surgery to treat myopia between -0.75/-3.88 D o...
Background: To analyse the asphericity of the anterior corneal surface (ACS) for different diameters, and correlate those values with corneal higher order aberrations (cHOA) before and after myopic treatments with corneal refractive therapy (CRT) for orthokeratology and customized (CL) and standard laser (SL) assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Setting: Clínica Oftalmológica NovoVisión, Madrid, Spain. Meth...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in corneal transparency and thickness measured objectively using Pentacam Scheimpfl ug (Oculus Optikgerate GmbH) corneal tomography (densitometry) after corneal cross-linking (CXL). METHODS: Twenty-two eyes from 15 patients with keratoconus underwent CXL. Corneal thickness and curvature as well as lens and corneal densitometry were measured at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months...
