Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in the management of keratoconus
Advanced cases of keratoconus often require surgical intervention to restore corneal anatomy and improve eyesight. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK) although commonly performed has potential risk of immunological rejection and is now no longer automatically ...

Corneal Biomechanics in Ectatic Diseases: Refractive Surgery Implications. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ectasia development occurs due to a chronic corneal biomechanical decompensation or weakness, resulting in stromal thinning and corneal protrusion. This leads to corneal steepening, increase in astigmatism, and irregularity.

Long term efficacy and stability of corneal collagen cross linking for post-LASIK ectasia: an average of 80mo follow-up [PDF]
This study was designed to evaluate efficacy and stability of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) in halting the progression of post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ectasia and provide long-term follow-up results with an average of 80mo.

Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula successfully treated by combined open-endovascular procedure [PDF]
Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas constitute a rare though potentially devastating disease. Because the arterial (high-pressure) blood flow drains directly into the low-pressure venous system, there is a high risk of bleeding and associated ...

Progress of corneal collagen cross-linking combined with refractive surgery
As a photochemical reaction that can stiffen the cornea, corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is the only promising method of preventing the progress of keratectasia, such as keratoconus and secondary ectasia following refractive surgery.
