Fixing your SMILE: how do you reoperate, and what are the consequences for corneal strength?
Other vision healthcare professionals regularly refer patients to ELZA who have “challenging corneas”; many are those whose original laser refractive ...
Children: to cross-link or not to cross-link?
Children: to cross-link or not to cross-link? If a person is going to develop keratoconus, that person is more likely to ...
SmILE biomechanically more solid than flap-based laser surgery
SmILE provides a biomechanically more solid residual cornea than flap-based approaches. SmILE more solid than flap-based refractive laser surgery: this ...
A new algorithm to predict the Cross-Linking effect
New algorithm predicts CXL effect and might help to treat keratoconus corneas thinner than 400 µm. Algorithm predicts CXL effect: ...
Another step towards cross-linking at the slit lamp
