Candida, Aspergillus and Fusarium were the most common organisms. Patients with filamentous keratitis had different risk factors, better outcomes and decreased need for surgical intervention compared to yeast keratitis.

Over a 10-year follow-up period, resumption of progression was only seen in 9.1% and haze in 7.4% of subjects.

Researchers show it eliminated the most common and multidrug-resistant pathogens of this common corneal infection.

Such distinctions may make these individuals more prone to developing glaucoma in the long-term, researchers suggest, although no anatomical evidence was found at present.

A recent study discovered higher degrees of polymegethism and pleomorphism in subjects with deeper anterior chambers.

Also, the time to resolution was significantly shorter in women and those with autoimmune etiologies, the latter perhaps because of greater vigilance in vulnerable patients.

Conducted in China, this research indicated taller and heavier individuals had greater axial length and flatter corneas—but no corresponding increase in refractive error.

Steep keratometry and thin corneas predispose patients to this complication.

Biomechanical assessments could help diagnose optic neuropathy, study finds.

Its latest version showed improvement in the diagnosis of corneal eye diseases but didn’t outperform human experts.
