    History of Refractive Surgery Refractive surgery corrects common vision problems by reshaping the cornea, the eye’s outermost layer, to bend light rays to focus on the retina, reducing an individual’s dependence on eye glasses or contact lenses.1 LASIK, or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, is the most commonly performed refractive surgery to treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.1 The first refractive surgeries were said to be the removal of cataracts – the clouding of the lens in the eye – in ancient Greece.2 1850s The first lensectomy is performed to remove the lens 1996 Clinical trials for LASIK begin and are approved by the of the eye to correct myopia.2 Food & Drug Administration (FDA).3 Late 19th 2 Abott Medical Optics receives FDA approval for the first Century The first surgery to correct astigmatism takes place. 2001 femtosecond laser, the IntraLase® FS Laser.3 The laser is used to create a circular, hinged flap in the cornea, which allows the surgeon access to the tissue affecting the eye’s 1978 Radial Keratotomy is introduced by Svyatoslov Fyodorov shape.1 in the U.S. The procedure involves making a number of incisions in the cornea to change its shape and 2002 The STAR S4 IR® Laser is introduced.

    Effects of Depth of Incision on Final Outcome in Radial Keratotomy N

    Effects of Depth of Incision on final outcome in Radial Keratotomy N. Raja, M. K. Niazi B-35, PAF Complex, Sector E-9, Islamabad. Abstract Objective: To assess the effect of depth of incision on the final outcome of radial keratotomy for correction of myopia. Methods: Sixty-five eyes with preoperative uncorrected myopia between 2.5-6.0D in subjects with a mean age of 29.2 (+7) years underwent radial keratotomy between Sept 1999--July 2002 in department of Ophthalmology, Military Hospital, Rawalpindi. Based on their preoperative depth of incision the eyes were divided into group-A (twenty-five eyes), with an incision depth of 500-530 µm, and Group-B (forty eyes), with an incision depth of 531- 560 µm. The comparison between the postoperative visual acuity of two groups was made at the end of study after one years` follow up. Results: A total of Sixteen eyes in Group-A (64%) that were within one diopter of emmetropia at first follow-up reverted back to their preoperative myopic state after one year of surgery as compared to only two eyes (5%) in Group-B (p<0.05). Hyperopic shift occurred in two eyes (8%) in Group-A, as compared to four eyes (10%) of Group-B (p >0.05). After one year, refraction showed that only 24% cases of Group-A were within 1 diopter of emmetropia as compared to 85% cases in Group-B. Similarly, 40% cases of Group-A were within 2 diopters of emmetropia as compared to 90% cases of Group-B. Glare and variation of vision in the initial four weeks were the most frequently reported complications in both groups.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

    UCSF Ophthalmology Advice Guide Authors: Seanna Grob, MD, MAS

    UCSF Ophthalmology Advice Guide Authors: Seanna Grob, MD, MAS and Neeti Parikh, MD Hello! We are excited that you are interested in ophthalmology! It is truly a special field in medicine. From saving someone’s vision after severe eye trauma, to restoring vision with cataract, retina, or cornea surgery, to preserving someone’s vision with glaucoma management and surgery, to reconstructing someone’s periocular area after trauma, burns, or tumor removal, amazing things can happen in ophthalmology. Ophthalmologists love their job and the majority say they would pick this specialty again if they had the choice. An incredible amount of job satisfaction comes from saving someone’s vision! We are here for you in the UCSF Department of Ophthalmology! We have put together this guide to help you through the process. This guide is meant to be very comprehensive. We want to make sure you are aware of all the opportunities and resources you have so that you can plan accordingly. You do not have to do everything we mention! Please feel free to reach out with questions about the specialty, how to get involved, and how to become a great ophthalmology applicant! 1 Medical School A well-rounded application is important for a successful match and any way you can prove to ophthalmology programs that you are dedicated to the field will be helpful to you. As more objective data (such as grades and board scores become less prevalent) other parts of your application will become more important. Various experiences you seek out are not only fun and educational, but will offer exposure to this wonderful field.

    ANTERIOR CORNEAL MOSAIC*T by A

    Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.52.9.659 on 1 September 1968. Downloaded from Brit. J. Ophthal. (1968) 52, 659 ANTERIOR CORNEAL MOSAIC*t BY A. J. BRON Moorfields Eye Hospital, City Road Branch, London THE corneal anatomy has received intensive study in recent years, but an aspect of its structure which is readily observed clinically has received little attention in the literature. In all normal corneae, after the instillation of fluorescein into the conjunctival sac, a striking mosaic pattern may be observed on the surface of the corneal epithelium after massage of the cornea through the lids. This pattern will be referred to as the anterior corneal mosaic. It was first observed by the author in patients whose eyes had been padded for corneal disease. It was noted in some that a mosaic pattern appeared after the instilla- tion of fluorescein. This pattern disappeared in a short period of time, but could readily be re-induced by pressure on the cornea through the lids. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the characteristics of the anterior corneal mosaic and to discuss its significance. This pattern was studied by Fischer (1928), and has since been re-studied by Schweitzer (1967). Methods Induction of the Mosaic A drop of 2 per cent. fluorescein is instilled into the conjunctival sac and the cornea is viewed with the cobalt beam of the slit lamp. If necessary the fluorescein is diluted to produce a bright fluorescence. A thumb is placed on the upper lid of the eye under examination and with the eye in the straight-ahead position, the lid is moved up and down over the cornea with light or moderate pressure applied to the globe.
