Subclinical inflammation after laser in situ keratomileusis

Abstract

In this study. LASIK did not induce an inflammatory response in the anterior chamber in the myopic eye.

Esclerite infecciosa espontânea por Nocardia asteroides: relato de caso

“…A etiologia infecciosa é incomum, responsável por aproximadamente 5-15% dos casos (1) . Os microorganismos mais identificados são Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1,2) , Streptococcus pneumoniae (1,3) , staphylococcal species (1,4) , varicella zoster virus (1,5) and Nocardia asteroides (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) . Nocardia são bactérias gram positivas, que existem ubiquamente no meio ambiente.…”

“…Podem causar infecções exóge-nas (oculares e dermatológicas) ou endógenas (nocardiose pulmonar e sistêmica). O olho pode ser acometido pelos dois tipos de infecção, sendo mais comum pela via exógena, na forma de ceratite ou esclerite após cirurgia refrativa ou de catarata (9,(12)(13)16) . A esclerite infecciosa geralmente resulta de infecção por contiguidade de úlcera de córnea adjacente (1) .…”

Time Course of Changes in Aqueous Flare Intensity After Vitrectomy for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment

“…Previous studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] have reported that a variety of surgical interventions, including cataract surgery, trabeculectomy, penetrating keratoplasty, laser in situ keratomileusis, scleral buckling, phakic intraocular lens implantation, Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, laser trabeculoplasty, and panretinal photocoagulation, led to an increase in aqueous flare after vitrectomy.…”

Evaluation of the Effect of Myopic Femtosecond Laser Assisted-LASIK on Anterior Chamber Flare Values and Corneal Endothelial Cells: A Prospective Before-and-After Study

“…Pisella et al [20] reported high and prolonged in ammation after LASIK (performed with MMKs); they reported that the increase in the amount of are was greater on the 1st day post-op, especially in eyes undergoing LASIK; however, they also reported that the are values returned to normal levels on the 7th day post-op in PRK, but this period was prolonged in LASIK and no signi cant increase in a are was observed at any time in patients who underwent intrastromal ring implantations. Pe´rez Santonja et al [22] reported that, after LASIK with MMKs, there was no increase in the are values on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days, post-op. Interestingly, they also reported that the are values decreased after the 2nd week in comparison to the pre-op value, and they only reached typical values in the 3rd month, post-op.…”
