May 14th, 2022 - To explore the characteristics of the top 100 most-cited articles on keratoconus research. The Web of Science database was searched to identify papers published from 1950 to 2020. A bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited articles was cond...

May 14th, 2022 - The qualitative approach followed in this study aims to obtain an extensive view of the keratoconus (KC) tear proteome, which could highlight proteins previously undetected and enlarge our knowledge of the disease's pathophysiology. Twenty-five pa...

May 12th, 2022 - We aimed to investigate the usefulness of Zernike coefficients (ZCs) for distinguishing subclinical keratoconus (KC) from normal corneas and to evaluate the goodness of detection of the entire corneal topography and tomography characteristics with...

May 11th, 2022 - To evaluate the effectiveness of epithelium-off (epi-off) accelerated corneal crosslinking (A-CXL, 9 mW/cm2, 10 min) in adult keratoconus (KC) patients. The study included 151 KC corneas (124 patients) after A-CXL. The parameters best corrected vi...

May 11th, 2022 - To determine the prevalence of keratoconus (KC) in relation to ethnicity in a group of people who consulted an ophthalmological care institution seeking for refractive surgery in N. Macedonia. This was a cross-sectional, interventional retrospecti...

Apr 18th, 2022 - Interventional and comparative prospective study: Sixty-nine eyes (38 patients) suffering from keratoconus (stages 1-2 Amsler-Krumeich classification) will be divided into four groups. The four groups underwent topography- and non-topography-guide...

Apr 12th, 2022 - The measurement of visual acuity is made using black letters of varying size superimposed on a uniform white background. The objective is to determine the smallest letter, or optotype, that can be correctly identified. One limitation of current te...

Apr 6th, 2022 - This is a a dose ranging, multi-center, sham-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of epithelium-on corneal collagen cross-linking. The study will evaluate safety and efficacy in subjects who have keratoconus.

Mar 9th, 2022 - The objective of this study is to investigate the difference between two regimens of transepithelial crosslinking. The study will compare two riboflavin dosing regimens during the crosslinking procedure. The primary objective of this study is to e...

Jan 25th, 2022 - Patients with progressive keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or at risk for post-refractive corneal ectasia will be recruited and undergo epithelial-on corneal crosslinking with the Peschke PXL-330 system using pulsed, accelerated energy...

Feb 26th, 2021 - For ophthalmologists to be confident in corneal imaging techniques, they must produce repeatable and reproducible measurements under both stable and changing conditions. Anything above the normal variability ("noise") has the potential for throwin...

Nov 15th, 2020 - Corneal collagen crosslinking, a procedure developed for keratoconus, could treat keratitis as effectively as antimicrobials, a new study suggests. The procedure could prove particularly useful in treating drug-resistant pathogens, said Emilio Tor...

Mar 3rd, 2020 - Some of my happiest patients are those on whom I have performed laser vision correction (LVC) who no longer need glasses or contact lenses. I may not have cured a pathologic condition, but those patients often tell me that it has changed their liv...

Sep 4th, 2019 - Keratoconus Keratoconus is a noninflammatory ocular disorder characterized by progressive thinning and conelike protrusion of the cornea. The corneal topographic changes result in high irregular astigmatism and reduced visual acuity, which can man.
