_Purpose_. To examine the morphological changes in the meibomian glands of patients with keratoconus as well as to study the relationship between these changes in the morphology and several tear film parameters. _Methods_. Examination of the meibomian gland (MG) of 300 keratoconus patients presenting to the center using infrared noncontact meibography system (Sirius, CSO, Italy) between January 2017—January 2019. 100 ... إقراء المزيد

conclusion: surprisingly, standard CXL showed close results to CXL-plus at the 24 th follow-up month. Standard CXL acted as a stabilizing procedure associated with a late myopic component reduction. CXL-plus acted as a refractive and stabilizing procedure with an early effect on both the myopic and the astigmatic component but no later improvement. Standard CXL seems to be more powerful ... إقراء المزيد

Implantation of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) is an effective and reversible refractive procedure for keratoconus management. the main advantages of ICRS in treatment of keratoconus are safety, reversibility and stability. Ring segments extrusion is one of the postoperative complications of .ICRS implantation which leads to ring explantation إقراء المزيد

PURPOUS: To analyze the visual and refractive outcomes of combined accelerated cross-linking with femtosecond laser intracorneal ring segment implantation for the treatment of pediatric keratoconus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective multicenter non-comparative clinical study included 63 eyes of 37 patients (age, 9–17 years) who underwent between August and September 2016 combined cross-linking with intracorneal ring segment implantation for keratoconus. Preoperative ... إقراء المزيد

Abstract Purpose: To assess anterior segment parameters of keratoconus (KC) eyes at different stages of the disease using Scheimpflug-placido topography (Sirius, CSO, Italy) in a sample of the southern Egyptian population. Methods: retrospective study of 400eyes of different grades of keratoconus along with 50 normal eyes as a control group were assessed for the following parameters: corneal thickness at apex ... إقراء المزيد

In conclusion, despite the small risk of early postoperative complications, CXL PLUS was an effective way of improving refractive status in eyes with keratoconus during 18 months of follow-up. However, CXL plus was more effective in correcting the myopic component of of keratoconus than the astigmatic component. Most complications occuring after CXL plus could be attributed to removal of epithelium. ... إقراء المزيد
