Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of implantation of a new continuous corneal ring in keratoconic corneas of an Iranian population.
Methods:
This study was conducted on 95 contact lens–intolerant keratoconic eyes with clear central corneas. A continuous corneal ring, annular intrastromal corneal inlay (AICI), was inserted using femtosecond laser in all cases. Patients were followed up for 1, 3, and 12 months postsurgery. Visual and subjective refractive outcomes were evaluated in each examination. Besides, keratometry and aberrometric values were recorded before and 12 months after surgery. Finally, vector analysis of refractive astigmatism was performed using the Alpins method.
Results:
The uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities improved significantly 12 months after surgery from 0.91 ± 0.39 to 0.38 ± 0.22 (P

Purpose:
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a single TearCare procedure compared with a single LipiFlow procedure in treatment of the dry eye disease associated with meibomian gland dysfunction.
Methods:
In a multicenter, masked, randomized controlled trial, 135 subjects received a single TearCare (TC) treatment (n = 67) or a single LipiFlow (LF) treatment (n = 68) at baseline and were followed up for 1 month posttreatment. Tear film breakup time, meibomian gland function, and corneal and conjunctival staining scores were assessed as dry eye signs at baseline, 2 weeks, and 1 month; dry eye symptoms were assessed using the Ocular Surface Disease Index, Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye, and eye dryness questionnaires at baseline and 1 month.
Results:
At 1 month posttreatment, both groups demonstrated significant improvements (P
