Validity of the temporal-to-nasal macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness ratio as a diagnostic parameter in early glaucoma.
To evaluate the diagnostic validity of temporal-to-nasal macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness (TNM) ratio using Cirrus high definition-optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) in patients with early glaucomatous damage. ⋯ Asymmetry of temporal-to-nasal mGCIPL thickness could be an important parameter in the diagnosis of early glaucoma with paracentral VF defects.

Comparative StudyModified big-bubble technique compared to manual dissection deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in the treatment of keratoconus.
To evaluate the clinical findings and results of manual dissection deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) compared to a modified big-bubble DALK technique in eyes affected by keratoconus. ⋯ Manual DALK provides comparable results to big-bubble DALK. Big-bubble DALK permits faster visual recovery and is a surgical technique, which can be easily converted to manual DALK in cases of unsuccessful 'big-bubble' formation.
