All subjects were examined by high-magnification slit lamp biomicroscopy and their corneas were confirmed to be clinically normal prior to inclusion in the study. Corneal topography and central ...

The inferior crescent-shaped thinning of the cornea (Figure 1) is marked by normal corneal thickness just above the ectatic area, characteristically differentiating it from keratoconus.

Is there partial- or full-thickness corneal wound? Is the corneal laceration/discontinuity self-sealing with a reasonably normal IOP, or is it actively leaking? Are there other conditions present ...

Using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), the investigators obtained scleral thickness measurements at locations 6, 4, and 2 mm behind the scleral spur in 4 gaze positions ...

The corneal epithelial thickness of the CXL-M group was also thinner than that of the other two groups ... We speculated that the corneal inflammation in the CXL-M group was milder at this time and ...
