Intraocular lens power requirements for humanitarian missions.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To develop a generalized method to determine an optimum set of intraocular lens (IOL) powers for humanitarian missions. SETTING: Humanitarian missions to Central America, South America, and Southeast Asia. METHODS: Biometric data of adults ... Read more...

Comparison and evaluation of ocular biometry using a new noncontact optical low-coherence reflectometer.

8 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To evaluate a new high-resolution noncontact biometer (Lenstar; Haag-Streit AG, Koeniz, Switzerland) using optical low-coherence reflectometry and to compare the clinical measurements with those obtained from the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss, ... Read more...

Growth and survival of zebrafish (Danio rerio) fed different commercial and laboratory diets.

30 Aug 2009 The need to develop standardized diets to support zebrafish (Danio rerio) research is supported by the knowledge that specific dietary ingredients, nutrients, or antinutritional factors in diets have been shown to affect development and growth of ... Read more...
