To evaluate the efficacy and predictability of cataract extraction with toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) or mushroom penetrating (PK).Villa Igea Hospital, Forlì, Italy.Prospective case series.Toric IOL was offered to patients cataract, corneal astigmatism >1.5 diopters (D) regular central topography complete suture removal. Phacoemulsification performed through a 2.4 mm scleral tunnel an enVista monofocal MX60T Eyecryl inserted in...
Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe techniques, results, and open issues corneal neurotization (CN) for the treatment neurotrophic keratopathy (NK). Methods: An overview most important studies CN provided. 2 main surgical approaches (namely, direct indirect CN) with specific advantages disadvantages are described. results regarding changes sensitivity clarity, visual acuity, in vivo confocal microscopy metrics summarized. Ex histopathology neurotized cornea reported. Intraoperative...
: Moxifloxacin is a bactericidal methoxyquinolone used for the treatment of conjunctivitis and prophylactic therapy in cataract refractive surgeries. Chloramphenicol bacteriostatic organochlorine introduced into clinical practice 1948 mainly topical preparations because its known toxicity. The study aimed to evaluate vitro antibacterial effect ocular cytotoxicity these broad-spectrum antibiotics. Antimicrobic activity was tested on four bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas...
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty performed by stromal peeling in eyes that have previously undergone penetrating (PK) for keratoconus.Standardised exchange included (1) 9 mm trephination recipient bed outside old PK wound, (2) creation a partial corneal flap through dissection across (3) opening component wound using blunt-tipped Vannas scissors until plane separation is reached, (4) severing attachment surgical scar from host, (5) stroma graft...
Aim To evaluate the outcomes of ultrathin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (UT-DSAEK) performed in eyes after failure primary membrane (DMEK). Methods This was a retrospective, non-comparative interventional case series done tertiary care hospital. The study group included 21 patients which underwent UT-DSAEK following DMEK. Outcome measures best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and cell density (ECD) both recorded 6 12 months postoperatively as well central...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, timing and risk factors corneal neovascularisation (NV) after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) for ectasia.This included 616 eyes who underwent DALK between 2012 2020 in two tertiary referral centres. In one centre topical corticosteroids were discontinued complete suture removal 1 year surgery, whereas other they 3-4 months surgery. presence severity NV ascertained based on slit lamp photographs. Potential evaluated using...
To report the 10-year outcomes of modified microkeratome-assisted lamellar keratoplasty (LK) for keratoconus.In this single-centre interventional case series, 151 consecutive eyes with keratoconus underwent LK. Eyes scars extending beyond posterior half corneal stroma and preoperative thinnest-point pachymetry value less than 300 μm were excluded. Outcome measures best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refractive astigmatism (RA), endothelial cell density, immunological rejection,...
Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between graft thickness/regularity and visual outcomes of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). Methods: Records post-DSAEK patients who were examined by anterior segment optical coherence tomography at “Villa Igea” Private Hospital (Forlì, Italy) since April 2015 reviewed. Pachymetric elevation maps both host cornea analyzed. Graft regularity was determined based on root mean square error (RMSE) pachymetric measurements taken 3...
Purpose: To report the outcomes of a modified deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) procedure for treatment scarred corneas in otherwise healthy pediatric eyes. Methods: All eyes undergoing DALK by same surgeon (M.B.) between July 2013 and June 2017 were enrolled. The standard was including large (9 mm) (150 μm from thinnest pachymetric measurement) trephination, minimal cannula advancement base clearing central 6 mm optical zone. success rates pneumatic dissection, visual refractive...
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to report the clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluation, management and outcomes microsporidial keratitis in post-keratoplasty eyes. Methods: This a retrospective review three patients diagnosed with stromal eyes between January 2012 December 2021 at tertiary referral center (Ospedali Privati Forlì “Villa Igea”, Forlì, Italy). Results: All presented fine multifocal granular infiltrates following keratoplasty for presumed herpetic keratitis. No...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the outcomes of various lamellar keratoplasty techniques performed at our Institution in children aged 14 years or younger over last decade. Methods This single‐centre study reviewed 72 eyes that underwent for indications. Deep anterior (DALK) was 19 eyes, mushroom penetrating (PK) 27 and Descemet stripping automated endothelial (DSAEK) 25 eyes. The main outcome measures included best spectacle‐corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), complications rate graft failure...
Purpose To describe a new genetic variation of BEST1 gene in Best vitelliform macular dystrophy. Methods A patient with bilateral multiple retinal yellowish lesions at the posterior pole underwent fluorescein angiography, fundus autofluorescence, optical coherence tomography, electrooculogram and blood sample for testing. Results diagnosis dystrophy was made. Heterozygous mutation c.76G > (p.Gly26Ser) exon 2 found. Conclusion These findings contribute to expand spectrum gene.
To describe a surgical technique for the diagnosis and treatment of post-Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) infectious interface keratitis presenting as cold abscess.This study included 2 eyes patients that developed delayed-onset infections after DSAEK. Through an anterior keratotomy, diagnostic samples microbial culture histopathology examination were collected, empiric antibiotic therapy was delivered directly to site infection at graft-host interface.In both...
This article aims to provide some personal surgical tips increase the success rate of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), a very advantageous yet complex procedure for treating keratoconus. The most troublesome step is obtaining successful pneumatic dissection stromal tissue, allowing exposure cleavage plane. following may aid trainee surgeon in mastering this step, among others: performing trephination, using intraoperative segment optical coherence tomography and/or femtosecond...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the changes in signs and symptoms of patients with dry eye disease (DED) treated a novel tear substitute based on GlicoPro® complex along its effects content. Methods In this prospective study, DED not successfully responding to conventional substitutes were drop (posology 4 times daily). Patients examined before starting study treatment (T0) after 30 days (T1) 60 (T2) by means Keratograph 5M (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) for evaluation of: i) meniscus height (TMH);...
