👉 Pellucid marginal corneal degeneration (PMCD) is a bilateral, noninflammatory, peripheral corneal thinning disease. 👉 It is characterized by peripheral thinning, usually in the inferior cornea. 👉 The ectatic zone, which is 1-2 mm from the limbus, lies above the point of the maximum corneal thinning. 👉 Usually associated with high degrees of against-the-rule astigmatism and low degrees of myopia. 👉 Can be treated by Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments (ICRS) and has good postoperative results.

Did you know? As per NIH bulletins, cement dust causes lung function impairment, chronic obstructive lung disease, restrictive lung disease, pneumoconiosis, and carcinoma of the lungs, stomach, and colon. The bulkers that carry cement must follow specific standards during loading, on the road, and while discharging. Otherwise, they put human health at serious risk. In NAZ, we follow international standards to ensure that our bulkers are safe and risk-free while operating. #CementBulker #HeavyTransport #Trailers #SemiTrailer

Approximately 95% of glaucoma is open-angle glaucoma (OAG)—a chronic, progressive, and irreversible disease. OAG is characterized by progressive loss of peripheral vision followed by central visual field loss or blindness. Current standard of care focuses on reduction of inner eye pressure—also called intraocular pressure or IOP—to limit damage to the optic nerve, but these do not address the underlying disease. Learn more about ONL’s paradigm shifting approach that aims to protect retinal ganglion cells, independent of IOP, to treat open-angle glaucoma: https://lnkd.in/eCjPucKK #WGW2024 #UnitingForAGlaucomaFreeWorld #GlaucomaWeek #VisionarySolutions
