Quality of Life in Myopia: Laser‐Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis Versus Contact Lenses
ABSTRACT Background Laser‐assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and contact lenses are commonly used to correct refractive errors, but their effects on quality of life, patient satisfaction, and dry eye disease remain variable. This study compares these outcomes between LASIK and contact lens users.

The schematic illustrates that corneal injury imparted by a stromal incision or by toxic chemical exposure causes corneal Schwann cells (cSCs) and axons to degenerate rapidly, resulting in impaired mechanosensory function. We hypothesized that repair cSCs, which develop post injury, are an as‐yet‐untested cellular target for axonal regeneration.

Risk Factors of Keratoconus in High School Students in Trinidad and Tobago: A Cross‐Sectional Study
ABSTRACT Background Keratoconus (KC) is the most common form of keratectasia that is associated with impaired vision and reduced quality of life, especially in adolescents. This study aims to identify and assess the risk factors associated with KC among high school students in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T).

Corneal Biomechanical Changes after Laser Assisted in Situ keratomileusis (LASIK), Femtosecond LASIK and Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK) [PDF]
Background: Refractive errors can be corrected surgically, which lessens the need for contacts or glasses. Myopia is one of the most prevalent forms of refractive error.Aim and objectives: To assess, using the Corvis ST Machine, alterations in the ...
