Corneal ectasia following LASIK
The cornea is a perplexing and enigmatic ocular structure. Its invigorating functions consist of conflicting demands. The cornea has to protect the eye, contain the intraocular pressure, and provide a smooth optical surface. These functions can be affected by a variety of diseases including immunologic, infectious, metabolic, genetic, and traumatic ...

Biomechanics of corneal ectasia and biomechanical treatments [PDF]
Many algorithms exist for the topographic/tomographic detection of corneas at risk for post-refractive surgery ectasia. It is proposed that the reason for the difficulty in finding a universal screening tool based on corneal morphologic features is that curvature, elevation, and pachymetric changes are all secondary signs of keratoconus and post ...

Corneal ectasia associated with postoperative hypotony [PDF]
Importance Although post-operative hypotony is common, many ophthalmologists argue that ocular hypotony is relatively inconsequential and question its occurrence as a surgical complication. Corneal changes related to ocular hypotony has seldom been described.

ABSTRACT Background To characterise stromal curvature and curvature ratios in keratoconus (KCN) using anterior segment OCT, and to evaluate the implications of using single‐, two‐, and three‐surface refractive models for corneal power estimation in ectatic eyes. Methods Retrospective observational study.

Ultrasonographic Appearance of a Posterior Lenticonus in a Cat
ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to present high‐quality and up‐to‐date ocular ultrasonographic images and videos of a posterior lenticonus with concomitant mature cataract in a cat. Additionally, the clinical findings, surgical treatment, and outcome are reported for completeness and to confirm the diagnosis.

Introduction Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive ciliopathy with at least 26 identified causative genes. BBS7 accounts for approximately 1.5% of cases. The syndrome is characterized by retinal degeneration, obesity, polydactyly, intellectual disability, and renal anomalies.

Primary non-inflammatory ectatic corneal changes are all conditions that are accompanied by increased curvature and decreased corneal thickness, leading to progressive corneal protrusion. A Medline review of the latest information available on this topic, including its updated diagnosis and management, was carried out.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the FBN1 gene. Using whole‐exome sequencing (WES) in a Chinese MFS family, we identified a novel heterozygous nonsense variant FBN1:c.1415dup;p.(Tyr472Ter), which cosegregates with the disease phenotype and results in protein truncation ...
