Purpose: To explore anterior segment changes with keratoconus onset and progression to determine whether structural changes are predominantly corneal, limbal or both. To investigate these changes in different corneal ...

Purpose: Bias has been described as one important obstacle in scientific research. The aim of this study was to explore “awareness of treatment” as a possible source of bias in subjective grading of ocular complications. ...

Purpose: to evaluate spontaneous blink rate (SEBR) and percentage of incomplete blinks in different hard-copy and visual display terminal (VDT) reading conditions, as compared with baseline conditions. Methods: A sample ...

The health of the ocular surface requires blinks of the eye to be frequent in order to provide moisture and to renew the tear film. However, blinking frequency has been shown to decrease in certain conditions, such as when ...

Purpose: To determine central and peripheral corneal sagittal height (z) values in keratoconus and healthy eyes with the Oculus Pentacam point-by-point data extraction software. Methods: Forty eyes from patients with central ...

OBJECTIVES:: To describe and compare corneal peripheral angles in normal and keratoconic eyes, to gain a better understanding of the topography of the periphery of the cornea in keratoconus and assist practitioners in the ...

Significance: Compliance with hygiene and replacement of contact lens storage cases is key to avoid contact lens contamination and anterior ocular surface complications. However, compliance levels with these accessories ...
