Purpose: To review the pathophysiology of LASIK-associated dry eye conditions and
provide insights into prophylaxis to decrease the incidence of dry eye after LASIK and to …

The advent of the excimer laser as an intrument for use in reshaping the corneal stroma was
a great step forward in refractive surgery. Laser energy can be delivered on the stromal …

PURPOSE: To present the Tomographic and Biomechanical Index (TBI), which combines
Scheimpflugbased corneal tomography and biomechanics for enhancing ectasia detection …

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the corneal-thickness spatial profile and corneal-volume
distribution differentiate keratoconic corneas from normal corneas using new tomography …

The aim of this study was to semi-quantitatively analyze stromal cell apoptosis, stromal cell
proliferation, and myofibroblast generation over time points from 4hr to 3 months in rabbit …

PURPOSE: To define a new classification method for the diagnosis of keratoconus based on
corneal measurements provided by a Scheimpflug camera combined with Placido corneal …

Purpose: To evaluate the results of the prophylactic use of mitomycin-C to inhibit haze
formation after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for medium and high …

The preoperative evaluation is of critical importance for success in laser in situ
keratomileusis (LASIK). This examination should fulfill 3 main purposes: counseling and …

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To review the incidence of corneal abnormalities detected in the
preoperative examination, using videokeratography and pachymetry that excluded patients …

Infections occurring after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery are uncommon, but the
number of reports have steadily increased in recent years. This systematic, comprehensive …
