Problem Corneal topography instruments have limited parameter constraints for calculating precise defect ratios on the basis of the cone base area of the anterior axial curvature map for patients with Keratoconus (KC). Aim The aim of this study is to use thresholding-based segmentation and morphological techniques to calculate the pathological rati...

This article aims to describe the causes of ophthalmological disqualification from the military services detected during specialist consultations conducted at Army Training Hospitals. This observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study retrospectively included individuals deemed as "unfit for military service" due to eye diseases identified duri...

Introduction: We report a case of late-onset Descemet membrane detachment triggered by contrast-enhanced computed tomography more than 30 years after penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus and describe its successful treatment with air tamponade. Case Presentation: A 53-year-old woman with a history of uneventful penetrating keratoplasty more tha...

To ascertain whether the integration of raw Corvis ST data with an end-to-end CNN can enhance the diagnosis of keratoconus (KC). The Corvis ST is a non-contact device for in vivo measurement of corneal biomechanics. The CorNet was trained and validated on a dataset consisting of 1786 Corvis ST raw data from 1112 normal eyes and 674 KC eyes. Each ra...
To assess the feasibility and reliability of biometric measurements taken with the Eyestar 900 device in keratoconus eyes in comparison with those taken with the Pentacam HR and IOLMaster 700. Seventy-five eyes of 75 patients with keratoconus were included. The central corneal thickness (CCT), thinnest point of corneal thickness (TCT), axial length...
To evaluate long-term results of accelerated corneal cross-linking (ACXL) in patients with progressive keratoconus, seventy-four eyes of 53 patients with progressive keratoconus (documented Kmax progression > 1D/a) who underwent ACXL (18mW/cm2 for 5 min) were included in a retrospective observational clinical study. The investigation focused on tom...
The cornea, as a dynamic and responsive tissue, constantly interacts with mechanical forces in order to maintain its structural integrity, barrier function, transparency and refractive power. Cells within the cornea sense and respond to various mechanical forces that fundamentally regulate their morphology and fate in development, homeostasis and p...
To clarify the interocular asymmetry of corneal morphological descriptors and evaluate its discriminant ability of keratoconus (KC). This retrospective study recruited 344 normal participants and 290 KC patients, randomized to training and validation datasets. Interocular correlation and agreement were evaluated on 44 corneal morphological descript...

Advancements in diagnostic methods and surgical techniques for keratoconus (KC) have increased non-invasive treatment options. Successful surgical planning for KC involves a combination of clinical science, empirical evidence, and surgical expertise. Assessment of disease progression is crucial, and halting the progression should be the focus if it...
The association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with development of eye diseases is unclear. This current systematic review and meta-analysis attempts to summarize and analyze associations between OSA and ocular disorders in the literature. PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Web Of Science, and Scopus databases were searched from 1901 to July 2022 in...
