Turner Syndrome: Ocular Manifestations and Considerations for Corneal Refractive Surgery.

Turner Syndrome (TS) is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in females and is associated with physical changes, hormone deficiencies, increased risk of autoimmune disease, and ocular complications. In this article, we review the main ocular findings associated with TS and discuss their significance for the patient considering refractive surgery. We also present four cases of TS to highlight the clinical findings that may be present in these patients.

Ocular Side Effects of Bisphosphonates: A Review of Literature.

In rare cases, bisphosphonates are well established to cause ocular inflammation, presenting as uveitis, episcleritis, scleritis, orbital inflammation, and/or conjunctivitis. Some reports of bisphosphonate-associated neuro-ophthalmic complications also exist. We identified 101 reports in the literature relating to bisphosphonate-associated ocular complications.

Explantation of KAMRA Corneal Inlay: 10-Year Occurrence and Visual Outcome Analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate 10 years of KAMRA corneal inlay explantation and associated visual outcomes.

Patients And Methods: Single-site retrospective chart review of 22 cases of AcuFocus KAMRA Inlay (ACI7000PDT) explantation (range 1 week-1 year). Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), and manifest refraction at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year post-explantation were reviewed.

Photorefractive Keratectomy Enhancement (PRK) After Small-Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE).

Purpose: To determine rates of enhancement and visual prognosis following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) enhancement of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).

Patients And Methods: This retrospective, single-site study reviewed all cases of primary SMILE at Hoopes Vision in Draper, Utah between March 14, 2017 and April 8, 2022 to identify any cases that required follow-up enhancement. Primary SMILE was performed using Visumax 500 kHz femtosecond laser (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany).

Spatially and optically tailored 3D printing for highly miniaturized and integrated microfluidics.

Traditional 3D printing based on Digital Light Processing Stereolithography (DLP-SL) is unnecessarily limiting as applied to microfluidic device fabrication, especially for high-resolution features. This limitation is due primarily to inherent tradeoffs between layer thickness, exposure time, material strength, and optical penetration that can be impossible to satisfy for microfluidic features. We introduce a generalized 3D printing process that significantly expands the accessible spatially distributed optical dose parameter space to enable the fabrication of much higher resolution 3D components without increasing the resolution of the 3D printer.
