Mashup Score: 0Mechanisms of Corneal Strengthening by Ring Implants | Journal of Refractive Surgery - 1 year(s) ago
IntroductionI have read with great interest the article of Torres-Netto et al,1 regarding the strengthening of the cornea by using intracorneal ring segments (ICRS). The authors relate their results to the strengthening effect of an intracorneal complete ring (ICCR), the MyoRing (Dioptex GmbH).2 It seems, however, that the authors have misunderstood fundamental physical aspects underlying the…

Mashup Score: 0Astigmatism Profile in a Large Series of Brazilian Patients | Journal of Refractive Surgery - 1 year(s) ago
Purpose: To assess anterior, posterior, and total corneal astigmatism in a large sample of Brazilian patients. Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, all patients whose corneas were imaged with the Galilei G6 (Ziemer Ophthalmology) between …
