Corneal collagen cross-linking for treating keratoconus. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Keratoconus is a condition of the eye that affects approximately 1 in 2000 people. The disease leads to a gradual increase in corneal curvature and decrease in visual acuity with consequent impact on quality of life.

One-Year Outcomes of Topography-Guided LASIK for Myopia and Astigmatism. [PDF]
Introduction To assess the efficacy and safety of topography‐guided LASIK (TG‐LASIK) in correcting myopia and astigmatism and to evaluate clinical outcomes and visual quality postoperatively. Methods We conducted a prospective study including patients aged 18–40 years with stable refraction for over 12 months.
