To report neural rim dimensions for South Indians and examine rim shape with relevance to clinical evaluation. methods. Healthy phakic participants (n = 623) of the Chennai Glaucoma Study with normal frequency-doubling perimetry underwent complete eye examinations including optic disc digital stereophotography. Planimetry was performed under stereoviewing conditions using custom software. Rim area, shape, and associations were examined. Rim area asymmetry was studied in a subgroup of...http://www.iovs.org/cgi/content/full/49/8/3457?rss=1 Induced corneal astigmatism by palpebral spring for the treatment of lagophthalmos.- July 24, 2008 Page: 840DOI: 10.1097ICO.0b013e31816a6279Authors: Avni-Zauberman, Noah MD; Rosen, Nachum MD; Ben Simon, Guy J MD (Source: Cornea)http://www.corneajrnl.com/pt/re/cornea/abstract.00003226-200808000-00018.htm original articles - clinical science corneal wound malapposition after penetrating keratoplasty: an optical coherence tomography study- July 24, 2008 Aims: To examine the wound configuration after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: All PKP patients who were examined for routine follow-up, between November and December 2006, after having all their sutures removed were included. Patients underwent clinical examination, refraction, corneal topography, aberrometry and Visante anterior segment OCT. Results: 204 graft–host sections from 27 eyes (25 patients, mean age 51.6 (SD..http://bjo.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/92/8/1103?rss=1 Aberrations of emmetropic subjects at different ages.- July 16, 2008 Related Articles Aberrations of emmetropic subjects at different ages. Vision Res. 2008 Jul 16; Authors: Atchison DA, Markwell EL We made on-axis aberrations and horizontal peripheral refraction measurements of emmetropic subjects (spherical equivalent -0.88D to +0.75D) aged between 19 and 70 years. We found smaller changes in on-axis aberrations with age than has previously been reported, possibly because of the small refractive error range of our subject...http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?tmpl=NoSidebarfile&db=PubMed&cmd=Ret... ipsilateral autorotational keratoplasty and cataract extraction in patients with trachoma and trauma in oman : report on visual rehabilitation.- July 12, 2008 Related Articles Ipsilateral autorotational keratoplasty and cataract extraction in patients with trachoma and trauma in Oman : Report on visual rehabilitation.
