EVALUATION OF CORNEAL ENDOTHELIAL CELL CHANGES AFTER VITREORETINAL SURGERY USING DIFFERENT ENDOTAMPONADES Open
Pars plana vitrectomy is associated with corneal endothelial cell changes in the form of EC loss, pleomorphism and polymegathism.Silicone oil induces more endothelial cell loss, more reduction in hexagonality and more increase in co-effici…

The effect of flap thickness on corneal biomechanics after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis using the M-2 microkeratome Open
Thick-flap LASIK caused a greater reduction of CH and CRF than thin-flap LASIK and ASA, although this was statistically significant only for CH. ASA and thin-flap LASIK were found to be biomechanically similar.
