Dependability of pachymetry measurements after myopic advanced surface ablation using scanning-slit topography and specular microscopy.

abstract：:Purpose. Super-selective intra-ophthalmic artery chemotherapy (SSIOAC) is an eye-targeted drug-delivery strategy to treat retinoblastoma, the most prevalent primary ocular malignancy in children. Unfortunately, recent clinical reports associate adverse vascular toxicities with SSIOAC using melphalan, the most commonly...
