ABSTRACT Objective: Early and accurate detection of corneal ectasias is essential for appropriate clinical management. The combined use of Pentacam and anterior segment OCT allows for a more comprehensive assessment of the morphological abnormalities associated with corneal ectasias, enabling earlier differentiation between normal and suspect cases. This study aims to investigate the relationship between OCT and Pentacam findings in the detection of corneal ectasias, analyzing their interdependence and clinical relevance. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional observational study based on data collected […]

OBJECTIVE: To compare, among patients subjected to PRK, the types and intensity of its post-operative symptoms, between mechanical versus chemical epithelial removal, as well as epithelial healing time. METHODS: We compare the frequency and intensity of referred symptoms by patients that underwent PRK, where each eye underwent one of the different epithelial removal techniques, randomly chosen and in simple-blind format. Additionally, we studied corneal epithelial healing on the fifth postoperative day, in order to observe whether an eventual delay on […]
