Methods Sixty patients (67 eyes) with peripheral corneal perforation underwent semilunar LK (16 eyes), crescentic LK (12 eyes), biconvex LK (13 eyes), annular LK (11 eyes) and total LK (15 eyes) respectively. The applied type of LK for each involved eye was decided by different sizes and shapes of...http://www.springerlink.com/content/d142h1x7007gu0w6/ Age-related changes in optical and biometric characteristics of emmetropic eyes- April 28, 2008 We measured optical and biometric parameters of emmetropic eyes as a function of age. There were approximately 20 subjects each in age groups 1829, 3039, 4049, 5059, and 6069 years with similar male and female numbers. One eye was tested for each subject, having spherical equivalent in the range 0.88 D to +0.75 D and 0.50 D astigmatism. Despite considerable data scatter, we found significant age changes: anterior chamber depth decreased 0.011 mmyear, lens central thickness increased 0.024...http://journalofvision.org/8/4/29/icon.gif Comparison of posterior lamellar keratoplasty techniques to penetrating keratoplasty.- April 26, 2008 Related Articles Comparison of Posterior Lamellar Keratoplasty Techniques to Penetrating Keratoplasty. Ophthalmology. 2008 Apr 26; Authors: Bahar I, Kaiserman I, McAllum P, Slomovic A, Rootman D PURPOSE: To describe the visual outcomes and intraoperative and postoperative complications after penetrating keratoplasty (PK), deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK), Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK), and Descemet stripping automated...http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?tmpl=NoSidebarfile&db=PubMed&cmd=Ret...

Ophthalmologe. 2008 Apr 24; Authors: Tietjen A, M&xFC;ller C, Sekundo W BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to intraindividually compare the outcome of laser in situ keratomileusis (Lasik) and laser subepithelial keratectomy (LasEk) in patients with similar refraction in both eyes when treated.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?tmpl=NoSidebarfile&db=PubMed&cmd=Ret... Optimal spherical focus in the peripheral retina- April 18, 2008 Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 269-276, May 2008. AbstractIt is well known that, in most eyes, astigmatism increases with the field angle. A simple reduced-eye model is used to demonstrate that, for point imagery in the peripheral retina, the combination of oblique astigmatism with elliptical entrance ...

This study was conducted to assess the relative influence of genetics and environment on corneal astigmatism and corneal curvature in a large sample of twins. methods. A total of 612 twin pairs (345 monozygotic MZ and 267 dizygotic DZ) aged between 18 and 86 years (mean age, 52.11 ± 15.85 years) were recruited from the Australian Twin Registry (ATR). Each subject completed a general questionnaire, undertook a dilated eye examination, including ocular biometric measurements, and..http://www.iovs.org/cgi/content/full/49/4/1339?rss=1 |
