Background Intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation in combination with corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) has shown promising results in improving the visual acuity and reducing refractive errors, but long-term results are lacking. Aim To evaluate the long-term outcomes (>5 years) of simultaneous CXL and femtosecond laser-assisted intracorneal stromal ring segment implantation for management of keratoconus. Design This was a noncomparative, noncontrolled retrospective single-center study. Patients and methods The study included 50 eyes of 37 patients with keratoconus who underwent simultaneous CXL and ICRS implantation and were followed up for at least 5 years regarding visual acuity, refraction, and corneal imaging. Results Best-corrected visual acuity showed statistically significant improvement, with mean changed from 1.07±0.41 to 0.40±0.30 LogMAR. The results showed significant improvement also after 5 years. The spherical equivalent also was significantly improved from a mean of −4.61±4.37 D to a mean of −1.41±−1.49 D. Keratometric readings also showed improvement of both K1 and K2. The mean K1 improved from a mean of 49.6±6.76–47.78±6.17 D, and the mean K2 improved from 55.04±7.34 to 52.67±7.38. The results were stable, with no statistically significant change after 5 years. Conclusions Simultaneous CXL and femtosecond laser-assisted ICRS is effective and stable for both visual outcome and refraction in patients with keratoconus.

Aim The aim of this study was to compare two surgical techniques of inferior oblique muscle weakening in the management of inferior oblique overaction whether primary or secondary, that is, inferior oblique myectomy and graded inferior oblique muscle recession. Patients and methods This is a randomized prospective study, performed in Alexandria, Egypt, that included cases of inferior oblique muscle overaction, whether primary or secondary, starting on May 2020. It included 40 patients, divided into two groups: group I included 20 patients who were managed by inferior oblique myectomy, and group II included 20 patients who were managed by graded inferior oblique muscle recession, according to the clinical grading of overaction. Results The results of the two groups were compared, and it was found that the results were comparable as the final outcomes of correction of hypertropia were satisfactory in both groups. Conclusion As the results in both techniques have no significant difference, it is recommended that each surgeon should perform his/her preferred technique.

Background Glaucoma is the neuropathy of the optic nerve with accelerated apoptosis of the retinal ganglion cells. Optical coherence tomography angiography provides valuable information about the optic nerve and the retinal circulation as an auxiliary tool for glaucoma diagnosis and optic nerve saving. Purpose To evaluate the performance of optical coherence tomography angiography in distinguishing primary open-angle glaucoma from healthy eyes by measuring the radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) vessel density (VD)% and macular superficial capillary plexus (SCP) VD%. Patients and methods A descriptive prospective cross-sectional case–control study was conducted on 60 participants, who were categorized into two groups: group A (30 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and group B (30 healthy controls of matched age and sex with group A). Structural (retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell complex thickness), functional (the mean deviation, and pattern standard deviation), and vascular parameters [the VD of RPC in scan 4.5×4.5 mm (in whole image, and the peripapillary region) and macular SCP in scan 6×6 mm] were compared between the two groups. Results Statistically significant decreases of VD of RPC of the whole disk, the peripapillary region, and the macular superficial plexus layer were observed in glaucoma eyes compared with controls (all P<0.001). As for the VD of the RPC of the whole disk, the mean value in the healthy control was (51.83±2.31) and in the glaucoma group was (46.21±2.98). For the VD of the RPC of the peripapillary region, the mean value in the healthy control was (52.56±0.2.61), while it was (46.9±3.1) in glaucoma eyes. Regarding VD of the macular superficial plexus layer, the mean value in healthy controls was 47.53±2.1, while it was 43.91±2.81 in glaucoma eyes. Structural, regarding the comparison of the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness between the two groups, the glaucoma patients had a significant (P=0.0001) lower mean value (81.34±0.11) than healthy controls (103.85±0.6.2). Also, for comparing the ganglion cell complex thickness between the two groups, the glaucoma patients had a significant (P=0.0001) lower mean value (80.72±6.9) than healthy controls (99.67±5.8). Functional, significant statistical differences (P=0.0001) of both, the mean deviation [between healthy control (0.18±0.86) and glaucoma group (−4.2±1.9)] and the mean of pattern deviation (P=0.0001) [between healthy control (1.22±0.91) and glaucoma group (4.6±1.72)] were determined. Conclusion Quantitative assessment of the VD of RPC and superficial macular capillary plexus is a promising tool for glaucoma decision making. As compared with healthy controls, the VD of RPC and SCP in glaucoma patients is reduced.

Background New approaches have been created to raise the chances of achieving big bubble (BB) in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK); however, the BB formation is still uncertain in all cases. Other factors likely contribute to the success of bubble formation. Aim To evaluate the effect of preoperative curvature of the cornea on the success of BB formation in DALK for keratoconus. Design A prospective, comparative, nonrandomized study. Patients and methods The study was performed on 50 keratoconus patients. We compared the data of 25 patients who had successful type-1 bubble formation versus another 25 patients in whom the bubble formation failed. Both groups were compared regarding the keratometric readings recorded from the preoperative pentacam. Results The analysis showed statistically significant lower K1, K2, and Km values in the group where BB has been successfully achieved. We also found that lower K1 value was the only significant studied factor after the multivariate analysis. Conclusion Keratoconus patients with preoperative flatter corneas have slightly higher chances for successful BB formation during DALK surgery.
