7. What is the mean central corneal thickness in porcine corneas?
a. 550 mm
b. 600 mm
c. 650 mm
d. 850 mm

8. According to the article, riboflavin-UVA-induced collagen cross-linking resulted in an
a. Increase in mechanical rigidity in porcine corneas to a greater degree than in human corneas
b. Increase in mechanical rigidity in human corneas to a much greater degree than in porcine corneas
c. Decrease in mechanical rigidity in porcine corneas
d. Decrease in mechanical rigidity in human corneas

ESCRS Binkhorst Lecture 2002: Pseudophakic preservative maculopathy
Kensaku Miyake, MD, Nobuhiro Ibaraki, MD, PhD, Yoko Goto, MD, Shin Oogiya, MD, Junko Ishigaki, MD, Ichiro Ota, MD, Sampei Miyake, MD

10. According to the article, the incidence of postoperative CME was significantly higher in which type of patients?
a. Those using latanoprost compared to timolol
b. Those using nonpreserved timolol compared to preserved timolol
c. Those who discontinued timolol 3 weeks preoperatively
d. Those with a strong family history of glaucoma

11. According to the article, with preserved timolol, elevation in aqueous flare postoperatively was seen
a. In the first 24 hours
b. From 3 days to 2 weeks
c. From 24 hours to 48 hours
d. From 10 days to 3 weeks

12. As concluded by the study
a. The incidence of postoperative CME was higher in patients using latanoprost.
b. Preserved timolol was associated with the same amount of aqueous flare and the same incidence of CME as nonpreserved timolol.
c. CME caused by the antiglaucoma eyedrops is not related to a principal agent but is the result of benzalkonium chloride used as a preservative.
d. The incidence of CME is directly related to a principal agent in anti- glaucoma medication.
