Purpose To evaluate the 1-year results of keratoconic eyes with thin corneas that were treated by a hypo-osmolar riboflavin solution and ultraviolet A collagen cross-linking (CXL). Design Retrospective, nonrandomized study….
Purpose To evaluate the initial changes of normal rabbit corneas after collagen cross-linking (CXL) with a femtosecond laser. Design Experimental study in animal eyes. Methods The right eyes of 10…
Purpose To compare the outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) performed with a femtosecond laser vs a mechanical microkeratome for the correction of low to moderate hyperopia. Design Retrospective,…
Purpose To examine evidence supporting the use of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibition in controlling wound healing after glaucoma filtration surgery in primary open-angle glaucoma, to identify the optimum…
Purpose To evaluate the quality of evidence about effectiveness of regular periodic surveillance testing for metastasis in patients with primary uveal melanoma (PUM) following treatment of the primary tumor in…
