Purpose: The corneal wound healing response is of particular relevance for refractive
surgical procedures since it is a major determinant of efficacy and safety. The purpose of this …

This review summarizes the current status of the small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE)
procedure. Following the early work by Sekundo et al. and Shah et al., SMILE has become …

OBJECTIVE: To map the corneal epithelial thickness with Fourier-domain optical coherence
tomography (OCT) and to develop epithelial thickness–based variables for keratoconus …

METHODS An epithelial thickness profile was measured by Artemis 1 (Ultralink LLC) very
high-frequency (VHF) digital ultrasound scanning across the central 10-mm diameter of the …

Purpose: To illustrate the hypothesis that epithelial thickness profile maps could be used as
an adjunctive tool to improve the sensitivity and specificity of keratoconus screening by …

PURPOSE: To characterize the epithelial, stromal, and total corneal thickness profile in a
population of eyes with keratoconus. METHODS: Epithelial, stromal, and total corneal …

Cynthia Roberts, PhD he future of laser refractive surgery is exciting with the potential for
ever-improved postoperative visual performance. In the past, the operative goal has been …

The history of the use of ultrasound in medicine has been one of evolution of technology and
innovative methods of applying this technology to imaging body structures. Many scientists …

PURPOSE: To assess corneal microarchitecture and regional epithelial thickness profile in
eyes with keratoconus, postoperative corneal ectasia (ectasia), and normal unoperated eyes …

This chapter addresses the current status of phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) surgery to correct
refractive errors. Depending on the position, three types of PIOLs are recognized: angle …
