Apple International Laboratory for Ocular Pathology, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Heidelberg, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany; [email protected] 4 Department of Cataract, Shanxi Eye Hospital, Taiyuan 030002, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Introduction: Accurate assessment of the corneal shape is important in cataract and refractive surgery, both in screening of candidates as well as for analyzing postoperative outcomes. Although corneal topography and tomography are widely used, it is common that these technologies are confused. The aim of this study was to present the current developments of these technologies and particularly distinguish between corneal topography and tomography. Methods: The PubMed, Web of Science and Embase databases were the main resources used to investigate the medical literature. The following keywords were used in various combinations: cornea, corneal, topography, tomography, Scheimpflug, Pentacam, optical coherence tomography. Results: Topography is the study of the shape of the corneal surface, while tomography allows a three-dimensional section of the cornea to be presented. Corneal topographers can be divided into large- and small-cone Placido-based devices, as well as devices with color-LEDs. For corneal tomography, scanning slit or Scheimpflug imaging and optical coherence tomography may be employed. In several devices, corneal topography and tomography have been successfully combined with tear-film analysis, aberrometry, optical biometry and anterior/posterior segment optical coherence tomography.

  • Sequence of Examination Step I Note the General Appearance As You Take the History and When Initiating the Physical Examination, Usually with the Patient Sitting
    Introduction As well as history taking, Physical Examination is an important part of patient management. The goal of the P/E is to obtain valid information concerning the health of the patient. The examiner must be able to identify , analyze and synthesize the accumulated information into a comprehensive assessment. The four principles of physical examination are the following: 1. Inspection can provide an enormous amount of information. You must train themselves to look at the body using a systematic approach. 2. Palpation is the use of the tactile sense to determine the characteristics of an organ system. 3. Percussion relates to the tactile sensation and sound produced when a sharp blow is struck to an area being examined. This provides valuable information about the structure of the underlying organ or tissue. 4. Auscultation involves listening to sounds produced by internal organs. This technique furnishes information about an organ’s pathophysiology. To achieve competence in these procedures, the student must, "teach the eye to see, the finger to feel and the ear to hear" . Note: These four principles have different value in different systems. For example, Inspection is more useful in general appearance, Palpation in abdominal examination, Percussion in organ size evaluation, and Auscultation in heart examination. In abdominal examination, Auscultation is first, since performing percussion or palpation, may alter the frequency of bowel sounds. Preparing for the physical examination - Reflect on your approach to the patient - Decide on the scope of the examination - Adjust the lighting and the environment - Make the patient comfortable - Choose the examination sequence - Wash your hands in the presence of the patient - Describe your plans for the patient - Draped the patient.

  • Safety and Effectiveness of the UV-X System for Corneal Collagen Cross
    Evaluation of two Riboflavin Dosing Regimens for Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in Eyes with Progressive Keratoconus or Ectasia Protocol 2010-0243, Version: 15 Protocol Date: September 16, 2016 PHYSICIAN SPONSOR: Francis W. Price, Jr. MD CONFIDENTIAL Background This clinical protocol is designed to evaluate two riboflavin-dosing regimens for treatment of patients with progressive keratoconus or corneal ectasia using investigational technology that increases the cross linking of the corneal stroma using the photochemical interaction of UVA light with the chromophore riboflavin. In this treatment, the corneal stroma is saturated with riboflavin by irrigating the surface after removal of the corneal epithelium. The riboflavin-saturated cornea is then exposed to a uniform field of UVA light with a narrow bandwidth centered at 365 nm. The light is generated by an IROC UV-X irradiation system that creates a uniform 11 mm circle of UVA light. The device has a timer that allows a precise 30-minute exposure of the corneal tissues. The irradiation field of the UVX system produces UVA light with a uniform irradiance of 3 mj/cm2 at the corneal surface. The FDA has classified this technology as a combination product with two components. First is the UV-X light source, which has an LED source and is calibrated and rendered uniform by the use of an optical homogenizer. The second component is a riboflavin ophthalmic solution. This solution is used to saturate the corneal stroma prior to its photochemical activation. This combination product has been studied in a FDA-approved, randomized, placebo- controlled, multi-center trial that has enrolled patients.

  • Comparability Ratios for ICDA-8 and ICD-9-CM
    Comparability of Diagnostic Data Coded by the 8th and 9th Revisions of the International Classification of Diseases This report describes how the changes in the classification system used to code diagnoses reported in the National Hospital Discharge and the National Ambulatory Medical Care Surveys for utilization occurring in 1979 and later affect the comparability with similar data collected for utilization from 1968 through 1978. Comparability ratios are developed by coding the data using both coding classification revisions and dividing the national estimate based on one revision by the estimate based on the other revision. The comparability ratios can be used to estimate what the values published using one revision of the classification system would have been had coding been conducted according to the other revision.

The keratometric measurements for 3 & 5mm were recorded before and Comparison of Corneal Topography in one month after surgery. The correlation of the K1, K2 readings before and one month after the phacoemulsification procedure, do not cause changes in the refractive power of Eyes Before and One Month After the the two main meridians of the cornea of patients, in order to alter the final astigmatism refractive post-operative effect, to a statistically significant degree.
