Abstract The aim of this work was to investigate the correlation between scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation
(GDx VCC) parameters and blue-on-yellow perimetry (B/YP) indices in ocular hypertension (OHT). One eye each of 52 patients
with OHT (with a normal visual field, a normal optic nerve, and an untreated IOP > 21 mmHg) was chosen. All patients were
examined with the Octopus 101 automated perimetry dG2 program using the dynamic/normal strategy (white-on-white perimetry,
W/WP), with the dG2 program using the dynamic strategy/BY method (blue-on-yellow perimetry, B/YP), and w...

Conclusions: We tested our tool for 3D, Web-based, patient-specific consultation in the clinical scenario of breast augmentation. This example shows that the current state of development allows for creation of responsive and effective Web-based, 3D medical tools, even with highly complex and time-consuming computation, by off-loading them to a dedicated high-performance data center. The efficient combination of advanced technologies, based on analysis and understanding of human anatomy and physiology, will allow the development of further Web-based reconstruction and predictive interfaces at different scales of the human b...

Abstract Lasers are used extensively in ophthalmology for a variety of conditions, including many choroidal and retinal tumors. With
technologic advances, current therapy attempts not only to maximize survival with globe-salvaging treatment, but also to preserve
vision. Each neoplasm has different indications for primary and adjuvant therapy, as well as differing laser treatment protocols.
Additionally, there are numerous laser applications available for use, including laser photocoagulation, transpupillary thermotherapy
(TTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The current review outlines the basic principles ...

Abstract With good hemostatic ability, the end-firing continuous-wave diode laser at 980 nm was used to enucleate the prostate (DiLEP)

Excimer laser refractive surgery versus phakic intraocular lenses for the correction of moderate to high myopia.Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this review suggest that phakic IOLs are safer than excimer laser surgical correction for moderate to high myopia in the range of -6.0 to -20.0 D and phakic IOLs are preferred by patients. While phakic IOLs might be accepted clinical practice for higher levels of myopia (greater than or equal to 7.0 D of myopic spherical equivalent with or without astigmatism), it may be worth considering phakic IOL treatment over excimer laser correction for more moderate levels of myopia (less than or equal to 7.0 D of myopic spherical equivalent with or without astigmatism). Further RCTs adequately powered fo...

Abstract Beneficial medical laser ablation removes material efficiently with minimal collateral damage. A Mark-III free electron laser
(FEL), at a wavelength of 6.45 μm has demonstrated minimal damage and high ablation yield in ocular and neural tissues. While
this wavelength has shown promise for surgical applications, further advances are limited by the high overhead for FEL use.
Alternative mid-infrared sources are needed for further development. We compared the FEL with a 5-μs pulse duration with a
Q-switched ZGP-OPO with a 100-ns pulse duration at mid-infrared wavelengths. There were no differenc...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapeutic technique mainly applied to the treatment of malignant and pre-malignant lesions,
which induces cell death by the combined effect of a photosensitizer, irradiation in a proper wavelength, and molecular oxygen.
One of the main limitations of PDT using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is the superficial volume of treatment, mainly due to
the limited penetration of topical photosensitization. In this context, the present study investigates if a laser micromachining
producing microchannels on the tissue surface could improve ALA penetration and result in an increas...
