von Mohrenfels et al studied in vivo LASIK cuts with a new prototype 200 kHz femtosecond laser in 20 eyes (11 patients). In this pilot series, flap creation was possible in each case. The preoperative MRSE improved from—4.22 D (SD±1.22 D) to –0.15 D (SD±0.16 D) 12 months after surgery. Eighteen of the 20 treated eyes were within ±0.5 D and all eyes were within ±1.0 D of the intended correction. Femto-LASIK with this new laser system showed high levels of safety, stability and efficacy. (see page 788).

The role of OCT in identifying shape and size of idiopathic epiretinal membrane

Hajnajeeb et al investigated the role of the preoperative OCT retinal thickness map (RTM) in identifying the shape and the size of the idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM) in 15 eyes that underwent vitrectomy with indocyanine green-assisted membrane peeling. Analysis of iERM morphologic characteristics (shape) showed...]]> 2012-05-15T13:21:37-07:00 info:doi/10.1136/bjophthalmol-2012-301961 hwp:master-id:bjophthalmol;bjophthalmol-2012-301961 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd 2012-06-01 At a glance 96 6 i i
