Posterior corneal surface stability after femtosecond laser-assisted keratomileusis [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to evaluate posterior corneal surface variation after femtosecond laser-assisted keratomileusis in patients with myopia and myopic astigmatism. Patients were evaluated by corneal tomography preoperatively and at 1, 6, and 12

Analysis of the pathogenic factors and management of dry eye in ocular surface disorders [PDF]
The tear film represents the interface between the eye and the environment. The alteration of the delicate balance that regulates the secretion and distribution of the tear film determines the dry eye (DE) syndrome. Despite having a multifactorial origin,

Epithelial ingrowth following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK): prevalence, risk factors, management and visual outcomes [PDF]
The number of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) procedures is continuing to rise. Since its first application for correcting simple refractive errors over 25 years ago, the role of LASIK has extended to treat other conditions, including ...

Refractional results of LASIK retreatment with wavefront-guided ablation versus standard ablation [PDF]
Purpose: To evaluate refractive outcomes of wavefront-guided LASIK (Zyoptix, Bausch & Lomb) versus standard LASIK (PlanoScan, Bausch & Lomb) in retreatment of primary LASIK for myopia and myopic astigmatism.

Fifteen years follow-up of photorefractive keratectomy up to 10 D of myopia: outcomes and analysis of the refractive regression [PDF]
PURPOSE: To evaluate outcomes of photorefractive keratectomy up to -10.00 D of myopia and -4.50 of astigmatism and to develop a predictive model for the refractive changes in the long term.

An artifact in fits to conic-based surfaces [PDF]
It is common in Physiological Optics to fit the corneal and the lens surfaces to conic-based surfaces (usually ellipse-based surfaces), obtaining their characteristic radius of curvature and asphericity.
