Bringing biology back to refractive surgery

We took a biological approach to what has been classically viewed as a physics problem. If the laser ablation is causing inflammation, can we change how the laser energy is delivered to the cornea in order to cause less inflammation?

Treating infectious keratitis with CXL is not like treating keratoconus with CXL

Treating infectious keratitis with CXL is not like treating keratoconus with CXL. We recently had to write a letter to the journal, Ophthalmology, to point out the flaws in a recent publication in the journal.

Democratizing Corneal Cross-Linking

Brazil’s top Ophthalmology magazine, Oftalmologica Em Foco, features ELZA’s Prof. Hafezi and Dr. Torres-Netto exploring the story of how CXL at the slit lamp is becoming a reality.

Are different diagnostic instruments interchangeable when it comes measure corneal HOAs in eyes with keratoconus?

Why do stars sometimes “twinkle” in the sky? Atmospheric turbulence: the light that comes from the star gets distorted by particles in the atmosphere. It is the same with light entering the eye

Can Cross-Linking (CXL) treat Terrien’s Marginal Degeneration (TMD)?

Terrien’s Marginal Degeneration (TMD) is a progressive thinning of the cornea at its edges, next to the sclera (the white part of the eye). Can corneal cross-linking (CXL) treat TMD like it can treat other corneal thinning disorders like keratoconus? To find out, click on the link to read more!

Cross-Linking in the USA – Part 4: The Future

What is the future of corneal cross-linking (CXL)? PACK-CXL to treat corneal infections without antibiotics, refractive cross-linking and better Kpros…

Cross-Linking in the USA – Part 2: Best Practice

The Cornea Society published a best practice review of CXL in the USA. Cross-linking is relatively new to the USA (but not Europe) – let’s get up to speed.

Cross-Linking in the USA – Part 1: Patient and Riboflavin Selection

The Cornea Society published a best practice review of CXL in the USA. Cross-linking is relatively new to the USA (but not Europe) – let’s get up to speed.

Fixing your SMILE: how do you reoperate, and what are the consequences for corneal strength?

Other vision healthcare professionals regularly refer patients to ELZA who have “challenging corneas”; many are those whose original laser refractive surgery didn’t quite go to plan, and they need re-treatment to fix their vision

Children: to cross-link or not to cross-link?

Children: to cross-link or not to cross-link? If a person is going to develop keratoconus, that person is more likely to be a child than an adult.
