Long-Term Outcome of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Keratopigmentation: Using Intacs Channels for Precise Pigment Deposition Within the Cornea.

abstract：PURPOSE:We propose a nomenclature for classification of herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis. We hope that a more consistent classification system will lead to a better understanding of the disease processes, thus resulting in improved diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. METHODS:A review of the literature was ...
