  • This study was performed to evaluate objective visual quality and ocular scattering in myopic refractive-surgery patients, compared to emmetropes. Optical vision-quality parameters (modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff and Strehl ratio) and objective scattering index (OSI) were measured using an optical quality analysis system (OQAS II) based on the double-pass technique. In all subjects, the higher the MTF cutoff and Strehl ratio, the lower the OSI and ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs). The MTF cutoff and Strehl ratio for the laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) group were lower than those for the emmetropia group, while the OSI, ocular HOAs, and spherical aberration (SA) for the LASEK group were higher than those for emmetropia group. Ocular scattering would be one of the important factors in regard to visual quality. Therefore, the quality of the retinal image in the LASEK patients has been shown to reduce the quality of vision more than in the emmetropes.

  • We report the successful treatment of feline acute bullous keratopathy (FABK) and corneal perforation with a conjunctival hood graft. Two cats with FABK and corneal perforation had severe corneal edema with large central bullae. Their corneas were thinned and perforated. Conjunctival hood grafts were performed. All corneas recovered after 3-4 weeks. The grafts were then removed from the cornea using superficial keratectomy and no ocular irritation was observed. One month later, the corneas had recovered, although there was very mild fibrosis. The cats had normal vision without any corneal problems at this time. Conjunctival hood graft was thus useful for the treatment of severe FABK and allowed the cats to maintain vision.

  • Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a form of neoplasm that origins from the epithelial surface of many organs. Ocular occurrence in small animals is rare, especially in the central cornea without the involvement of limbus or conjunctiva. In the current case, a 10-year-old, spayed female Shih-Tzu was presented with a central corneal mass. Through an ophthalmic examination the sign of corneal scarring around the mass was found. Pink fleshy lesion that protruded outward was removed through superficial keratectomy. The mass with the size of $8.5{\times}6.5$ millimeter was histopathologically diagnosed as corneal SCC infiltrating not only the epithelium, but also the superficial corneal stroma with surrounding superficial lymphoplasmacytic and neutrophilic chronic keratitis. Also, the adjacent, non-affected corneal epithelium was markedly hyperplastic and keratinized; the adjacent stroma was moderately vascularized and fibrotic. The pulse-dose therapy using 1% topical 5-flourouracil were applied for five cycles. The tumor has not recurred through nine months of follow-up time.
