Result : 1) Infectious keratitis was a rare complication after the surgery 2) Cannot conclude which technique has the highest rate of infectious keratitis. 3) Non-tuberculous mycobacterium and Aspergillus was the most common pathogens causing post-LASIK bacterial and fungal keratitis respectively 4) Time of onset of infectious keratitis caused by different pathogens after different surgeries were too spread out and were not representative enough of the genuine value 5) Common practice to overprescribe antimicrobials 6) Doctors generally were following the guideline to prescribe the recommended antimicrobials Conclusion : 1) Crucial for doctors to react quickly, perform cultures, take a detail patient history to identify the causative agent and prescribe the suitable class and amount of antimicrobials 2) To facilitate future studies and analysis on post refractive surgery infectious keratitis, a standardized reporting format and a database should be set up for a comprehensive comparison between cases.

Research Portfolio - Dissertation The title of my 10,000-word dissertation is “ Anatomical variation of A1 in circle of Willis: Clinical significance of anterior communicating artery aneurysm .” It is a literature review that discusses: • Statistical association between A1 variations and anterior communicating artery aneurysm (ACoAA) • Effects of A1 variations on the haemodynamic of circle of Willis and its consequences • Impacts of A1 variation on the treatment of ACoAA Overall, the literature review offers preliminary evidences to justify the establishment of A1 variation as a risk predictor for unfavourable outcome of ACoAA to inform its management.
