Topical losartan: how we cleared a corneal scar without surgery
We cleared a corneal scar (leukoma) after refractive surgery without returning to the operating room, using topical losartan as an antifibrotic.
Still Seeing Poorly After Cataract Surgery: It Was Undiagnosed Keratoconus
A 70-year-old woman was still seeing poorly after her cataract surgery. The cause was undiagnosed keratoconus, which we rescued with donor-tissue CAIRS.
Ripasudil and corneal decompensation: how we rescued a cornea without a transplant using a Rho-kinase inhibitor
A decompensated cornea that went from counting fingers to 20/40 with topical medical management alone. A clinical case of endothelial rescue with Ripasudil, no transplant.
CustomQ with flap lift for presbyopia after LASIK: a clinical case of modified monovision
A case of presbyopia after myopic LASIK treated with CustomQ and flap lift. Why READ was not possible and how Q-shifting solved it. Results at 1 week: 20/20 J3 OD and 20/25 J1 OS.
CAIRS in penetrating keratoplasty: visual rescue after a corneal transplant
First case of CAIRS inside a penetrating keratoplasty in the Dominican Republic. Vision from 20/200 to 20/50 and 66% fewer aberrations.
Cataract surgery in keratoconus: first case with IOL after CAIRS
First reported case of cataract surgery with intraocular lens after CAIRS implantation. From counting fingers to 20/25 with bilateral J1.
CAIRS complications: when photophobia reveals a technical issue
Severe photophobia after misplaced CAIRS: clinical case, diagnosis and surgical pearls to avoid this complication.
PRK after cataract surgery: when the IOL leaves refractive residual
Refractive rescue with topography-guided PRK after cataract surgery with an EDOF IOL. Bioptic approach and managing expectations.
Tectonic corneal patch: rescue of a Boston keratoprosthesis with corneal melt
Structural rescue of a Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis with corneal melting via tectonic patch with donor tissue.

How small incision lenticule extraction is redefining laser vision correction.
Corneal crosslinking: how to stop keratoconus progression
Corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin as the standard to preserve corneal stability.
Cataract surgery after laser surgery: what you should know
Managing cataracts in patients with a history of refractive surgery requires specialized planning.
CAIRS: corneal segments of human tissue for keratoconus
A biocompatible alternative to traditional synthetic rings for the early management of keratoconus.
