abstract = {<jats:p>Purpose: The assessment of changes in corneal epithelial thickness at the center of the cornea (ET center) and at the apex of the cornea (ET peak) in relation to vision, corneal aberrations (LOAs and HOAs) and contrast sensitivity (C.S) after LASIK.



Material and Methods: Twenty-seven patients (27 eyes) with a mean age of 32 years (range 22-50), 9 males and 18 females were included in the study and underwent LASIK. Mean follow up was 12.18 +/- 1.48 (range from 9 to 18 months).



Results: A statistically significant difference was found between preoperative and postoperative measurements of ET center and ET peak as well as Zernike coefficients. No statistically significant difference was found for the variable of CS.



Conclusion: Changes in corneal aberrations after refractive surgery can be attributed to epithelial thickness increase which can be seen in patients that have undergone LASIK.</jats:p>},

abstract = {<jats:p>Aims: To compare the diagnostic values of the OSDI, the Schirmer’s and tear film breakup time test to check for dry eye in healthy adult students using computers and contact lenses.

Methodology: Our sample consisted of hundred (100) eyes from fifty (50) healthy adults aged 18-24 years students at the University of West Attica (25 participants were contact lens wearers, while the remaining 25 were not). All participants were exposed to a computer screen or a mobile screen. Qualitative tear measurement was performed with Tear Break-Up Time Test (TBUT), quantitative measurement of tears with Schirmer Test and use of the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI).

Results: During the analysis of the results, it was found that OSDI was inversely proportional to the TBUT test and the Schirmer test. 60% did not have dry eye, 34% had a mild dry eye, 4% had moderate dry eye and 2% had severe dry eye. Α statistically significant relationship  existed between OSDI and the other variables as well as the TBUT test with Schirmer test (p-value <0.05).

Conclusion: The OSDI questionnaire, used in conjunction with the TBUT test, was easy to perform and could be helpful in supporting the diagnosis of dry eye syndrome.</jats:p>},
