Cornea

According to recent data, dry eye has been found to be common in patients with early Graves Ophthalmology (GO).

Flat, steep corneas with keratometry values of less than 35 D do not have a predictive effect on the risk of visual acuity loss after myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), claims a paper in the Journal of Refractive Surgery.

The discovery of a new layer in the cornea has many surgical and clinical implications. This layer can support the endothelium in the procedure of endothelial keratoplasty, making the handling of Descemet’s membrane transplant safer and technically simpler, according to its discoverer Harminder S. Dua, MD, PhD.

Gamma-irradiated cornea allograft is safe and effect for use in glaucoma surgery, according to a paper published in the latest issue of the Journal of Glaucoma.

Nicox has joined forces with Immco Diagnostics to offer tests for the early detection of Sjögren's syndrome.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham, UK, have announced their discovery of a previously undetected layer in the cornea, the clear window at the front of the human eye.

Cocaine-assisted epithelial debridement is a simple and inexpensive treatment method for symptomatic anterior basement membrane dystrophy (ABMD) patients, reveals the latest study in the journal Cornea.

Patient comfort, minimal foreign body sensation support routine use for cataract surgery

The 2.75 mm three-plane clear corneal incision (CCI) created with a femtosecond (FS) laser produces comparable outcomes to single-plane angled manual incision for anterior and posterior corneal topography, claims a new study.

Peripheral hypertrophic subepithelial corneal degeneration is an uncommon disorder that occurs mostly in white women with a distinct phenotype, claims a study in the journal Ophthalmology.

Visual acuity poorly correlates to graft thickness (GT) in patients who underwent descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), states a paper in the journal Cornea.

Corneal inlay allows presbyopia correction either paired with or after LASIK

Chemical enhancements to riboflavin solution aim to overcome need for epithelial debridement

Algorithm helps ophthalmologists decide best treatment option for patients based on data

Keratolimbal allograft (KLAL) transplantation is affected by adverse events including immunologic rejections, chronic ocular surface exposure and graft-related complications, according to a study featured in Cornea.

Making a diagnosis is only the first step in treating dry eye syndrome

Intrastromal arcuate keratotomy performed with a femtosecond (FS) laser has an excellent safety profile, rapid recovery and stability of vision, claims a new paper.

Novaliq has secured €13.9 million in a fifth round of financing for a dry eye portfolio.

Undersized big-bubbles for DALK can safely be increased using blunt dissection for white-margin bubbles and ophthalmic viscosurgical device injection for clear-margin bubbles.

Uncertainty outweighs risks, benefits of simultaneous crosslinking to prevent postLASIK ectasia

Novel procedures bring glaucoma surgery into realm of cataract, corneal subspecialists

Femtosecond laser (FSL)-assisted mushroom configuration deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is reliable and reproducible, stated a recent noncomparative case series.

According to a paper published in Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, loss of energy due to elastic hysteresis positively correlates with age, leading to the belief that eye viscosity increases with age.

Depth of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) is less than expected in myopic patients when measured by OCT, claims a recent paper.
