In this study, the investigators employed Visante-OCT (Carl Zeiss, USA), an anterior chamber optical coherence tomography, to monitor the change of anterior chamber dimensions. These data were correlated to anterior and posterior curvature changes collected with the Oculus Pentacam (Oculus Inc., Germany), a corneal topographer based on rotating Scheimpflug principle. To minimize the effect of convergence and excyclotorsion during examination, topical cycloplegic medication was used. The investigators hypothesized that if there is a link between ciliary muscle contraction and cornea curvature, installation of cycloplegic should result in widening of anterior chamber angle to angle distance and flattening of the cornea curvature data.
The purpose of this study is to compare LASIK outcomes using the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE™ wavefront guided or optimized excimer laser treatment with the AMO/VISX CustomVue™ and the LADARVision 4000 excimer laser treatment. Standard refractive outcomes such as uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity, and intended vs. achieved postoperative refractions will be evaluated; in addition, high order optical aberrations, contrast sensitivity, and topography will be measured.
The purpose of this study is to compare an experimental contact lens with a currently marketed contact lens.
The purpose of this study is to compare two marketed contact lens care solutions in regards to comfort and ocular health.
The purpose of this trial is to compare two different contact lenses during 4 weeks of wear.
The purpose of this study is to compare subjective responses to two contact lenses after 15 minutes of wear.
Corneal sensation is known to play a role in tear secretion. Decreased sensation leads to decreased tear production; and when bilateral, leads to a decreased blink rate as well. Dry eyes are a common side effect of LASIK. Incidence rates vary widely, but have been reported in as many as 59% of patients. And almost all patients have some transient dry eye symptoms immediately following LASIK. Previous studies have looked at the effect of hinge position (superior vs. nasal) and hinge width on corneal sensation and dry eye after LASIK performed with a mechanical microkeratome. Corneal sensation was decreased and dry eye signs and symptoms increased immediately following LASIK in all eyes. These parameters then improved at all time periods between 1 week and 6 months post-operative. Loss of corneal sensation and dry eye signs and symptoms were greater in eyes with superior-hinge flap than nasal-hinge flap, and in eyes with narrower hinge flap rather than wider hinge flap IntraLase LASIK, using the IntraLase femtosecond laser rather than a mechanical microkeratome to cut the corneal flap, has become an increasingly popular procedure. It provides several advantages over mechanical microkeratomes, including reduced surgical complications, more predictable flap thickness, better astigmatic neutrality, decreased epithelial injury, and an ability to operate on a wider range of patients. The investigators propose this study to evaluate the effect of flap hinge size and flap thickness in corneal flaps created with the IntraLase laser. The investigators would like to determine if there is a difference from the previously discussed results found when using the mechanical microkeratome. Also, with the increased ease of programming alternate hinge width or flap thickness with IntraLase, if the investigators find a significant difference with an alternate flap configuration, it might translate to a feasible change in clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to report the treatment effect and safety of combined intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin using a reduced (RF) light fluence rate, in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to pathologic myopia.
To evaluate the clinical results of anti-VEGF intra-vitreal injections (IVT) in CNV secondary to pathologic myopia (PM-CNV).
