Surgical debridement in combination with appropriate antimicrobial therapy shortens the course of treatment and improves the visual outcome of severe infectious scleritis after pterygium excision.
Children with epiblepharon who needed surgery had greater with-the-rule astigmatism than controls. More severe corneal erosion was associated with higher astigmatism. Surgical correction of skinfold and promotion of reepithelialization did not attenuate astigmatism significantly.
This study demonstrated the effectiveness of MB-mediated PDT against Mycobacterium fortuitum. PDT could be a potential alternative treatment for nontuberculous mycobacterial corneal infections.
Corneal stability was achieved with minimal astigmatic change 1 week after scleral frown incisions, while clear corneal incisions induced greater WTR astigmatism with delayed stabilization 1 to 3 months postoperatively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
