Current study designed to report visual outcomes and corneal biomechanical changes after Intacs SK implantation in keratoconic eyes. In a prospective interventional case-series comprised 32 keratoconic eyes of 25 patients (mean age: 24 years) with a clear central cornea and contact lens intolerance. Intacs SK was implanted using a Technolas femtosecond laser platform. Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuity, refraction, manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE), keratometry, central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) were measured preoperatively, and at 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The mean UDVA improved from 0.81±0.3 logMAR preoperatively to 0.53±0.2 logMAR at 6 months (P<.001). At 6 months, MRSE was better significantly only in eyes with moderate KCN (mean change=+2.61±0.54 diopter [D]; P<.001). A significant improvement in sphere (mean change= +1.92±0.37 D; P<.001) and mean keratometry reading (mean change= -3.34±0.47; P<.001) was observed. Mean CCT increased from 446.1±38 μm preoperatively to 462.2±50 μm at 6 months (P<.001). CRF decreased from 6.5 ± 1.6 mmHg to 5.9 ± 1.1 mmHg at 6 months (P=.02). CDVA, cylinder and CH did not change significantly (P = .48, .203 and .55 respectively). 19 eyes (60%) gained ≥2 lines of UDVA while 5 eyes (16%) lost ≥2 lines of UDVA. Generally, visual, refractive and keratometric indices improved remarkably in a parallel fashion. CRF was inversely correlated with CCT. Fluctuations in corneal hydration might explain trends of changes in biomechanical parameters and CCT during the early postoperative months.

INTRODUCTION\r\nRetinitis pigmentosa is a clinically & genetically diverse group of diffuse retinal dystrophies that initially affecting rod with subsequent degeneration of cones,\r\nMaculopathy is one of the complications of RP that affecting vision and usually takes different types 1.(Atrophic),2.(Cystoid Macular Edema) 3.(Macular retraction), The prevalence of CME was 52% in AD RP , 39 % in AR RP and 35% in XL.\r\n\r\nMETHODS\r\nWe retrospectively review a 24y old male patient that presented with bilateral refractory cystoid macular edema secondary to RP which is not responding to topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and multiple anti VEGF injections of Lucentis in both eyes,the patient underwent bilateral 0.7 mg intravitreal dexamethason(OZURDEX) implant of 1 week apart, the spectral domain OCT was performed before and one month after OZURDEX injection and to assess the efficacy of intravitreal steroid implants in treatment of refractory CMO in RP.\r\n\r\nRESULTS\r\nThe Spectral Domain OCT after 1 month of injection showed a significant anatomical and functional improvements,CMT improved from 314 um to 233 um in the right eye and from 590 um to 207 um in the left eye. The BCVA improved from 6/18 to 6/9 in the right eye and from CF 1 meter to 6/60 in the left eye.\r\n\r\nCONCLUSION\r\nIt seems that the refractory CMO in RP is mostly inflammatory driven, for this reason it shows a dramatic response to intravitreal steroids, in our case, the patient has received multiple anti VEGF injections of Lucentis with no improvment,but he responded very well anatomically and functionally to intravitreal steroid implant of OZURDEX,the results in our case was matching other small case series results,EX:In retrospective study of Ozdemir et al reported the efficacy of intravitreal steroid in a group of five eye of five patients. Further preferably randomized trails may establish the place of intravitreal dexamethason in the treatment of refractory CME related to RP\r\n

Baasanjav Tsetsegjargal, MD, graduated from National Medical University of Mongolia in 2002. After graduation completed a residency at Postgraduate Institute of the Health Sciences University of Mongolia as ophthalmologist.Dr. Tsetsegjargal works to provide high quality LASIK surgery at her own country, therefore started to work at “Bolor-Melmii” eye hospital since 2003, and promoted as chief of the hospital. She completed short training courses as follows \r\n- 2004 in Aravind, India by cataract surgery\r\n- 2007 in China by Refractive surgery\r\n- 2010 in China by Phaco Surgery\r\nIn 2013 she successfully received her Master Degree at Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences. She is member of the Mongolian Association of Ophthalmologists. She has published more than 10 research articles in scientific journals of Mongolia. \r\n\r\n

LASIK is the most popular treatment method for correction of the refractive errors of ophthalmology and number of patients has continued to increase. The safety and efficacy of LASIK surgery have been reported several times by numerous researchers and doctors. This time we have summarized postoperative outcomes of LASIK surgery, which performed in Mongolia. To evaluate efficacy and safety of the surgery for mild myopia and myopic astigmatism, consequently 103 patients (206 eyes) who underwent LASIK surgery in “Bolor-Melmii” eye clinic between 2007 and 2011 were enrolled. The retrospective method of study was used to evaluate postoperative outcomes. Postoperative examinations were performed at day 1; 1, 3, and 6 months; and 1 year after LASIK surgery. We evaluated changes in uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), manifest refraction,best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), cycloplegyc refraction, intraocular pressure, corneal thickness. Preoperative UCVA improved to 0.5-1.2 (decimal) at 1 day after surgery and during 1 year after surgery revealed minimal but was stable. The final BCVA at the 1-year examination improved by 2 lines in 42 eyes (20.38%), by 1 line in 62 eyes (30.1%), unchanged in 98 eyes (47.57%). However, 4 eyes lost 1-2 lines (1.9%) of BCVA, because of: 2 eyes revealed regression due to late complication, 2 eyes due to dry eye. Preoperative mean sphere equivalent of -2.2+/-0.72D improved at the 1 year by +/- 0.5D in 161 eyes (78.15%), by +/-1.0D in 39 eyes (18.9%) and by +/-2.0D in 6 eyes (2.9%) after surgery. Mean sphere equivalent and astigmatism improved to -0.46 +/- 0.4D and -0.43+/-0.34D respectively at 1 year after surgery. \r\nConclusion: Improvement of the sphere equivalent and its stability during a year period of study proves that LASIK surgery is an effective with stable improvements and safe procedure for correcting myopia/myopic astigmatism. \r\n
