Purpose: To present a case of advancing keratoconus treated with corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) ultraviolet A (UVA) light and riboflavin complicated sterile infiltrates. Methods: The patient’s cornea was de-epithelialized CXL performed application exposure to UVA (370 nm, 3 mW/cm 2 ) for 30 minutes. Results: Early in the postoperative period, patient presented 11 deep stromal infiltrates 1 mm clear demarked edges circle near limbus some cornea. Corneal cultures were negative. Treatment...
Background: Keratoconus is a chronic, bilateral, usuallly asymmetrical, non-inflammatory, ectatic disorder, being characterized by progressive steepening, thinning and apical scarring of the cornea. Initially, patient asymptomatic, but visual acuity gradually decreases, resulting in significant vision loss due to development irregular astigmatism, myopia, corneal scarring. The classic treatment rehabilitation keratoconus based on spectacles contact lenses (CLs).
Purpose This study intends to add previous reports on acute corneal graft rejection following anti-severe respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 vaccination, providing data corroborate a possible causative relationship between anti-COVID-19 immunization and rejection, regardless of vaccine or type. Methods Results report describes 4 cases acute-onset as early 5 days the first dose types not yet referred for allograft. Patients were individually given Moderna messenger RNA-1273 COVID-19 (2...
Abstract Purpose: Democritus Digital Acuity & Reading Test (DDART) is a web-based application of visual acuity (VA) testing validated for near and intermediate distances, which introduces several advanced features such as text camera calibration. DDART has also the functionality to support assessment dVA. The objective this study was validate dVA test against series prevalent conventional distance vision charts. Setting: i) Ophthalmology Department, University Hospital Alexandroupolis,...
To evaluate the clinical outcome and safety profile of a new sutureless scleral fixation (SSF) technique using single-piece foldable acrylic Carlevale intraocular lens.In this case study, 27 eyes patients were implanted with an SSF IOL because inadequate or absent capsular support. The hand-shake used during surgery was combined creation pockets in order to secure haptics. BCVA evaluated 1st 6th month every patient 12th 24th months, when possible. Also, we improvement achieved spherical...
Abstract Purpose To report preliminary 6-month results on the use of Preserflo Microshunt implant with and without Ologen in 50 pseudophakic eyes moderate to advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods Fifty underwent ab externo implantation. Data was gathered retrospectively two groups were then created, group A application MMC 0.2 mg/ml B collagen matrix (OCM) Absolute success regarded as percentage achieving: a) 5 ≤ intraocular pressure (IOP) 13 mmHg, b) IOP 16 c) 21 mmHg...
Background/Aim: Corneal cross-linking remains the only treatment option capable of halting keratoconus progression.Customized is a new topographically-guided protocol consisting irradiating different corneal zones with variable energy beam profiles.In this study cohort, customized was combined sustained oxygen delivery and high-energy pulsed UV-A irradiation at apex cone, without epithelial debridement.This paper presents outcomes through 24 months postoperatively in patients treated...
Purpose: To evaluate the safety of implanting a 3-piece, 6.0 mm optic, foldable acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) in cases posterior capsule rupture during phacoemulsification. Setting: Department Ophthalmology, Ahepa Hospital, Aristotle University Medical School, and Interbalkan Center, Thessaloniki, Greece. Methods: This prospective noncomparative case series included 28 eyes (28 patients) having phacoemulsification complicated by extensive with or without vitreous loss. In all eyes, IOL...
PURPOSE: To investigate the potential impact of cone eccentricity on visual outcomes after Keraring (Mediphacos, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) implantation for keratoconus. METHODS: Nineteen eyes from 19 patients with keratoconus who underwent femtosecond laser–assisted were included in this retrospective study. Uncorrected acuity (UDVA), corrected (CDVA), keratometric readings, central corneal thickness, maximum distance apex (DKmax), thinnest point (DTh), and coma evaluated preoperatively 6...
Background: Since the late 1990s corneal crosslinking (CXL) has been proposed as a new treatment option which can stop progression of keratoconus with promising results in adults.
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> The aim of our study was to compare the depth demarcation line developing in cornea after standard Dresden protocol versus accelerated, pulsed, epithelium-off corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This a nonrandomized, retrospective case series. Patients with progressive keratoconus were treated either (Group 1) or CXL using Avedro (Waltham, MA, USA) device 2). accelerated involved 18 min pulsed...
Keratoconus usually presents during puberty and is considered rare in young children. Case report with clinical findings computerized corneal tomography. We the case of an 8-year-old girl early bilateral keratoconus who presented allergic conjunctivitis persistent eye rubbing. Although our patient did not exhibit steep keratometry, cones inferotemporal thinnest thicknesses were detected both eyes using Scheimpflug imaging (Oculus GmbH Pentacam, Wetzlar, Germany). Belin/Ambrósio total D...
Abstract. Purpose: To report the functional and anatomic results of macular hole (MH) surgery complicated by massive subretinal migration indocyanine green (ICG) dye. Design: Interventional case report. Methods: We performed standard pars plana vitrectomy for a stage 3, senile idiopathic MH. After posterior vitreous detachment removal, we instilled 2 ml ICG (0.5%, 270 mOsm); was diffuse dye but peeling internal limiting membrane (ILM) (despite obvious difficulties from low contrast between...
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: We evaluated the safety and efficacy of non-contact holmium:YAG laser thermal keratoplasty (LTK) for treatment mild to moderate hyperopia without astigmatism. METHODS: A prospective, non-comparative case series included 50 eyes 28 patients (aged ≥40 years) who had stable refraction an astigmatic component <+0.50 diopters (D). applied pulsed treat hyperopic spherical using Hyperion LTK System. All minimum 12-month follow-up 64% (18 patients) 24-month follow-up. RESULTS:...
