Resultados das cirurgias refrativas guiadas por frentes de ondas de cirurgiões em treinamento [PDF]
PURPOSE: To assess clinical outcomes and changes on higher-order aberrations (HOA) after wavefront-guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism performed by training ...

Corneal stromal demarcation line after collagen cross-linking in corneal ectatic diseases: a review of the literature [PDF]
Collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a relatively new conservative approach for progressive corneal ectasia, which is able to strengthen corneal tissue reforming new covalent bonds.

Lipidomics Analysis of the Tears in the Patients Receiving LASIK, FS-LASIK, or SBK Surgery
Purpose: Tear film lipid layer (TFLL) plays a vital role in maintaining the tear film stability and, thus, the lipid composition of the tears could greatly affect the physiological function and biophysical integrity of the tear film.

Evaluation of interface quality in organ-cultured lamellar corneal transplants [PDF]
Background: With increasing numbers of lamellar keratoplasties, eye banks are challenged to deliver precut lamellar donor tissue. In Europe, the most common technique of corneal storage is organ culture which requires a deswelling process before surgical

Relation of pre-LASIK and post-LASIK retinal lesions and retinal examination for LASIK eyes [PDF]
Analysis of highly myopic eyes (mean myopia -11 D) with post-LASIK vitreoretinal complications (breaks, retinal detachment) that also had pre-LASIK vitreoretinal pathology (lattice, breaks).Retrospective case series.67 eyes in 56 patients with pre-LASIK retinal examination developed post-LASIK vitreoretinal complications.
