Introduction and generalities:

Cornea and its structure today are very important from two perspectives, and many studies focus on it. A look at the optic features and the main focus of the refractive eye, which focuses on all the therapeutic approaches to refractive laser refraction correction in the cornea, depending on the corneal optic properties as well as the molecular structure and cortical biomechanical properties.

In cornea, keratoconus cornea or keratocnosis is one of the most important causes of visual impairment in puberty and is the most common cause of corneal transplantation in Iran over the past two decades. This condition can be initiated by developing progressive refractive errors in the form of nasal astigmatism and astigmatism, resulting in irregular and progressive corneal astigmatism, which can result in severe visual loss. The incidence rate in the United States is between 2 and 4 in 10,000 people, and in the Middle East, and in particular in Iran, this prevalence is higher and in regional studies it is up to 2 percent.

In recent years, new diagnostic methods through advanced types of ophthalmic imaging have discovered early stage disease and improved visual outcomes. Also, methods for preventing disease such as corneal crosslinking and modern therapies such as the use of new lenses for refractive error correction and regeneration and remodeling of the cornea, including the insertion of all types of intra-corneal rims using femtosecond laser, in addition to the full thickness and half-thickness of the cornea, Has been.

Therefore, we are going to examine the factors affecting its occurrence in Iranian race and its behavioral patterns and the impact of disease prevention methods and new therapeutic approaches in different ages. 

Dry eye due to the high prevalence and significant impact on quality of life, which in severe cases is equivalent to the effect of angina pectoris, has been given special attention today. Due to the increasing age of life expectancy in our country as a result of increased age-related dying of eye diseases, diagnostic and therapeutic measures should be taken in Iran, taking into account existing facilities and efforts to optimize and update them. Considering that there are still vague and questionable questions about the dry eye in the world that can sometimes be specific in any society and race, specialist physicians who have experience in the field of dry eye should be explored in order to discover the cases To conduct research and research based on their knowledge and experience in order to establish and provide new and different diagnostic and therapeutic methods in relation to the common and painful problem of dry eye.

Today, one of the most commonly used surgical procedures in refractive laser correction is corneal laser (LASEK, PRK) and Femtosecond Assisted LASIK. More than two decades of this type of application, and today most research on how to improve the results of action and sustainability of the results, as well as improving the quality of vision. Accordingly, there are various laser systems and different treatment plans.

 

Research core perspective: 

In the form of a cornea keratopus research line, the nucleus of Quercus is intended to be one of the best and the best center for the treatment and treatment of corneal incisors by providing a variety of diagnostic methods and timely delivery of the methods for preventing disease progression, using a variety of new therapies. The country and also one of the most reputable scientific centers that can be cited in a common disease of the cornea in the country.

The nucleus of the research in the form of an eye dry eye line aims to provide advanced diagnostic and therapeutic facilities and conduct research projects and collaborate with basic science units in order to centralize the referral of patients with drowsiness to the Rasool Akram Hospital and introduce this Center as one of the most prestigious research centers in the country and the region.

The nucleus of the research in the form of a refractive surgical research line aims to provide advanced diagnostic and therapeutic facilities and to carry out research projects and to collaborate with the basic sciences and engineering departments in order to centralize the referral of patients to Rasool Akram Hospital and Introducing this center as one of the most renowned research centers in the field of refractive surgery in the country and in the region.
