Corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) is an important measure for determining suitability transplantation. Although age has been correlated with ECD, the impact of sex and ethnicity unclear.Corneal donor information from SightLife Eye Bank was collected between 2012 2016. Tests association were adjusted covariates using linear regression including age, race, sex. "Unsuitable transplantation" a label assigned to specimens extensive dropout, ECD <2000 cells/mm, poor morphology....
The rate of types 1 and 2 diabetes in the United States is increasing. effect on corneal donor tissue unknown.To determine association between endothelial cell density suitability for transplantation cornea donors with type or technician-induced damage during processing.Donor information was obtained from SightLife Eye Bank June 1, 2012, to 30, 2015. presence determined based medical history. Severe classified comorbidities diabetes. data set contained 34 497 donated eyes 3-year period,...
Postmarket analysis helps identify potentially important side effects not discovered during clinical trials. Ocriplasmin is a recently approved medication administered by intravitreal injection for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion and macular hole. Overall, trials ocriplasmin have shown relatively high safety profile. However, recently, series case reports highlighted acute vision loss associated with abnormal findings on spectral domain optical coherence tomography...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> The present prognostic models for open globe injuries have a limited ability to predict visual outcome before comprehensive ophthalmologic examination or operation because they depend on the data derived from and intraoperative findings. purpose of our study was determine specific CT preoperative clinical that can prognosis injury. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> We analyzed relationship 29 variables 97 with acuity at 1 month. A prediction model 49 by regression...

To determine the frequency, clinical characteristics, and visual outcomes of patients who present with high or normal intraocular pressure (IOP) open globe injuries.Retrospective chart review.University Maryland Medical Center, a level 1 trauma center.All cases injury presenting to The University Center from July 2005 January 2014.Demographics, initial physical examination, computed tomography findings, IOP affected unaffected eyes, follow-up evaluations.(1) 10 mm Hg greater (2) acuity.Of...
Abstract: A 31-year-old woman with a history of unusual appearing recurrent linear corneal epithelial defects and subepithelial scaring in both eyes underwent 2 years evaluation treatment. It was eventually discovered that the patient using sleep mask excessive fabric pilling, which found to be source her chronic epitheliopathy. After discontinuation mask, experienced complete resolution symptoms. When evaluating defects, external sources repeated trauma, including sleepwear, should investigated.
