To present an established practice protocol for safe and effective hospital-setting ophthalmic during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Purpose: To describe the clinical outcome and histopathology of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) performed for secondary graft failure after penetrating (PK). Methods: A total 11 eyes from 10 patients who underwent DMEK PK at a tertiary referral center were included in this retrospective study. Best-corrected visual acuity, cell density, central pachymetry evaluated before regular time intervals up to 36 months complications recorded; 1 post mortem cornea was available light...
Introduction The current case series presents the triangular suture technique (TST) for managing intraocular lens (IOL) subluxation in pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome patients, a condition increasing risk of IOL dislocation post-cataract surgery. includes three PXF patients treated with TST dislocated IOLs. Case description first is an 88-years old woman recurrent post-Hoffman pocket fixation. resulted successful centration and significant visual acuity improvement, uncorrected (UCVA)...
ABSTRACT This case study describes the rehabilitation efforts of a 25-year-old male reserve officer who sustained penetrating intraocular metallic foreign body (IOFB) injury to his right eye during military conflict. Penetrating ocular trauma can lead severe tissue deformities, scarring, permanent visual impairment, and long-term complications like infection hypotension. The patient’s initial presentation revealed vision loss, pain, irritation, sensation, discomfort in eye. Diagnostic...
Introduction: The case reports a unique pathologic sequence of recurrent late diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) after epithelial ingrowth beneath in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap. Patient and Clinical Findings: A 70-year-old man with history myopic LASIK surgery enhancement 20 years prior presented unilateral decreased visual acuity, pain, redness, tearing. On examination, whitish clumps (epithelial ingrowths) were evident the corneal interface thick flap inferior cornea, DLK was observed....
To describe a further modification of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), using quarter an untrephined full-size donor (DM) sheet ("Quarter-DMEK").A 58-year-old patient underwent Quarter-DMEK for Fuchs dystrophy in his pseudophakic right eye, with single quadrant full-size, 11.5-mm-diameter DM graft.Best-corrected visual acuity improved from 20/50 (0.4) before surgery to 20/40 (0.5) at 1 day, 20/30 (0.7) week, 20/25 (0.8) month and 20/20 (1.0) 3 months after surgery. Central...
The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 and its' accompanied lockdowns impacted the entire globe in ways world is only beginning to comprehend. In Israel, children age 9-15 had not been a frontal classroom socially restricted from March till 2021. Fourteen these that under myopia control treatment which effective prior were included this retrospective study learn if their continued stay control, or unique environmental modifications affected progression. results showed average increase spherical...
Objectives: To assess the decrease in myopia progression and rebound effect using topical low-dose atropine compared to a combined treatment with contact lenses for myopic control. Methods: This retrospective review study included 85 children aged 10.34 ± 2.27 (range 6 15.5) who were followed over three years. All had minimum increase of 1.00 D year prior treatment. The divided into two groups control group. One group 29 an average prescription 4.81 2.12 (sphere equivalent (SE) range...
Abstract Introduction This retrospective study explores the connection between preoperative patient risk factors, experience of ophthalmology residents, and outcomes cataract surgeries conducted at Hadassah Medical Center. It is hypothesized that with increased experience, residents may demonstrate greater proficiency in handling on higher-risk patients, potentially leading to improved surgical overall. Methods Data from 691 consecutive by Ophthalmology Center (1.2018–2.2022) were examined....

Purpose: To describe the 10-year clinical outcome of first patient worldwide who underwent Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Methods: In 2006, a 63-year-old man presented at Melles Cornea Clinic, Rotterdam, with bilateral Fuchs dystrophy and cataract. After phacoemulsification, in vivo DMEK was performed left eye 10 months later right eye. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), cell density, pachymetry, complications were recorded every 6 over period. Results: BSCVA...
Purpose/Aim: Evaluating the suitability of bioengineered collagen sheets and human anterior lens capsules (HALCs) as carriers for cultivated porcine corneal endothelial cells (pCECs) in vitro assessment cell-carrier tissue-engineered grafts Descemet membrane keratoplasty (DMEK).pCECs were isolated, cultured up to P2 seeded onto LinkCell™ matrices 20 µm (LK20) or 100 (LK100) thickness, on HALC. During expansion, pCEC viability morphology assessed by light microscopy. ZO-1 Na+/K+-ATPase...
This retrospective study evaluates the effectiveness of combining 0.05% atropine with MF60 contact lenses in managing rapid myopia progression children over one year. The involved three groups: treatment group (TG) 15 (53% male, average age 12.9 ± 1.04), MF (MF) 12 (50% 12.8 0.8) using only lenses, and control (CG) 14 (43% 12.1 0.76). Baseline axial length (AL) were similar across groups, TG, MF, CG showing −4.02 0.70 D, −4.18 0.89 −3.86 0.99 24.72 0.73 mm, 24.98 24.59 1.02 respectively....
Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a severe retinal degenerative disease that manifests as blindness or poor vision in infancy. The purpose of this study was to clinically characterize and identify the cause large inbred Bedouin Israeli tribe with LCA. Thirty individuals single kindred, including eight affected LCA, were recruited for study. Patients’ clinical data electroretinography (ERG) findings collected. Molecular analysis included homozygosity mapping polymorphic markers Sanger...
To describe the use of intracameral recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) in treatment severe fibrinous reactions toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) after cataract surgery.A case series 59 eyes patients with chamber reaction following surgery who received r-tPA (25 µg/0.1 ml).
