Can closing the eyelid during riboflavin induction phase of crosslinking increase corneal thickness?
Corneal crosslinking (CXL) with riboflavin and UVA irradiation is the standard treatment for preventing progression of keratoconus. Thinning of the cornea during the riboflavin loading phase was reported in previous studies which used riboflavin with dextran. A minimum stromal thickness...
FAZ measurement on OCTA
This paper aimed to test the AngioVue OCTAs reproducibility and interoperator concordance in evaluating the size of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ). The authors also investigated how the FAZs representation on the OCTA varied after metabolic activity. The right eye...
