Best tools for measuring IOP in KC patients
December 3rd 2008The Pascal dynamic contour tonometer (DCT) and Reichert ocular response analyser (ORA) are the best tools for measuring corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) in patients with keratoconus (KC), according to study results published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, December.
Once-daily insert designed to provide lasting dry eye relief
July 28th 2008A hydroxypropyl cellulose ophthalmic insert (Lacrisert, Aton Pharma) is a preservative-free product recommended for once-daily insertion in the inferior cul-de-sac. Its convenience, efficacy, and safety make it a valuable option for the management of dry eye disease.
Persistent epithelial defects in repeated corneal transplants
July 14th 2008In instances of repeated corneal transplantation, ulcers and persistent epithelial defects are relatively commonplace, according to a study published in the August 2008 issue of Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology.
Identifying early ectatic disease accurately
March 1st 2008Sreening for early ectatic disease is essential in the evaluation of the refractive surgical candidate. There have, however, been many cases of severe post-LASIK ectasia without evidence of preoperative risk factors. Improving preoperative screening with better detection of subtle corneal topographic abnormalities may therefore help eliminate these rare but devastating cases.
New diagnostics: making surgery easier and safer
March 1st 2008New developments in diagnostic technology should enable better screening and follow-up of refractive surgery patients, said Dan Z. Reinstein, MD, delivering a keynote address during the refractive surgery subspecialty day preceding the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in November 2007.
Using OCT to assess anterior chamber inflammation
March 1st 2008The clinical assessment of an anterior chamber inflammatory reaction may be difficult to determine in eyes where corneal clarity is reduced by corneal oedema. Slit lamp examination is currently the gold standard method to assess inflammation1-3 but in conditions such as poor corneal clarity, the clinician routinely encounters difficulties.
Anti-angiogenic found in tears
January 30th 2008Pigment-epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), which is known for its importance in the prevention of neovascularization of the retina, can be found in measurable amounts in the human tear fluid of healthy subjects. It may therefore be important in the regulation of corneal vascularization.
Technological innovations in corneal collagen cross-linking
September 1st 2007...we have been able to develop some real staging-based guidelines for the therapeutic treatment of keratoconus and, in our opinion, corneal collagen cross-linking is mainly effective in the first and second stage of the disease
Are you switched on...to the latest developments in corneal surgery?
April 1st 2007It was more than one hundred years ago when the world's first successful human corneal transplant was performed by Dr Eduard Zirm. Since then, corneal surgery has evolved dramatically through the refinement of techniques and instruments and the discovery and development of antibiotics and corticosteroids.
Intracorneal ring segments: less is more
April 1st 2007Intracorneal rings (Intacs, Addition Technology) to correct keratoconus appear to yield better results when only one ring segment is implanted inferiorly rather than two segments implanted, one superiorly and one inferiorly, explains Joaquim N. Murta, MD, PhD.
