In this article, Dr Cervino discusses how his recent study examining the quality of anterior segment images obtained with posterior segment OCT devices is good enough to obtain repeatable measures of anterior segment parameters manually using external analysis software.
The CorVis ST, a new Scheimpflug-based device, has the potential to analyze ocular biomechanical properties for further research. Here, Dr Nemeth discusses his recent study analyzing the repeatability of data obtained with this new device.
Here, Dr Cadarso discusses how he targets vertical coma specifically through adaptation of the Keraring ICRS implantation technique.
Non-invasive imaging modalities, such as high-resolution anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and in-vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) imaging, may be more sensitive to identifying and monitoring epithelial downgrowth, compared with routine light biomicroscopy in patients undergoing penetrating keratoplasty, and will perhaps replace more invasive diagnostics in these patients.
In this article, Dr Vryghem weighs up the pros and cons of visual revalidation techniques and compares the currently available techniques in a clinical setting.
Eyes with a history of herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) have significantly greater higher order aberrations (HOAs) than eyes with no past history of the disease, according to a paper.
A novel technique for performing Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) consistently yields thin grafts, according to recently published research in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
Straylight values improve over time and can be linked to the progression of corneal healing, according to a paper.
The Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) questionnaire is a repeatable and valid method to measure dry eye symptoms, reveals a recent paper in the journal Cornea.
