Purpose To compare the effects of 2 corticosteroids on corneal thickness and visual acuity after cataract surgery. Design Multicenter, randomized, contralateral-eye, double-masked trial. Methods Fifty-two patients (104 eyes) underwent bilateral…
Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of oral mucosal graft to correct not only lid margin keratinization and trichiasis or distichiasis, but also incomplete closure in severe cicatricial ocular surface diseases….
Purpose To compare visual and optical outcomes of pupil-centered vs vertex-centered ablation in patients undergoing laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for hyperopia. Design Randomized, double-masked, prospective, single-center trial. Methods Setting:…
Purpose To analyze the long-term safety profile, visual and refractive results, and incidence of complications between sub-Bowman keratomileusis with 90- and 100-μm flaps. Design Prospective, randomized, comparative clinical study. Method…
The AJO encourages authors to report the visual acuity in the manuscript using the same nomenclature that was used in gathering the data provided they were recorded in one of…
Purpose To determine the incidence, risk factor, and outcomes of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) during active microbial keratitis. Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods One hundred eighty-four patients with culture-proven microbial…
Purpose To determine the antibacterial susceptibility profile of bacterial pathogens from ocular infections against relevant aminoglycoside, β-lactam, cephalosporin, chloramphenicol, fluoroquinolone, glycopeptide, lincosamide, and macrolide antibacterial agents. Design Laboratory investigation. Methods…
Purpose To compare the quality of vision (straylight and contrast sensitivity) after femtosecond laser-assisted Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (FS DSEK) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Design Prospective, randomized clinical trial. Methods…
Purpose To describe various endothelial migration healing patterns after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), and to determine the contribution of the donor and host endothelium in the clearance of a…
