We found that the central cornea of diabetic patients is thicker when compared with nondiabetic patients. Thicker central cornea associated with diabetes mellitus should be taken into consideration while obtaining accurate intraocular pressure measurements in diabetics.
Our results showed that limbal conjunctival autografting is an effective surgical technique for the treatment of pterygium, and tissue glue was efficacious in securing the limbal conjunctival autograft in pterygium surgery. The use of tissue glue decreases patient symptoms during the postoperative period after pterygium surgery. Compared with sutures, tissue glue had no adverse effects on ocular tissue.
According to the results of this study, vitreoretinal surgery with temporary heavy silicone oil tamponade appears to increase the anatomic success rates with minimal complication rate in cases with complicated retinal detachment and PVR.
We found that eyes with active BD had increased CCT because of active inflammation when compared with inactive and control groups, and mean CCT of inactive BD was normal. Therefore, we assume that CCT is in normal range in the inactive phase, and recurrent uveitis does not lead to a permanent change in CCT in BD.
The results demonstrated the efficacy of tissue glue for closing site ports when wound leakage is observed in transconjunctival sutureless vitreoretinal surgery.
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.
