A 21-year-old woman had crosslinking for keratoconus in the right eye; left eye was scheduled penetrating keratoplasty. Five days postoperatively, she presented with geographic epithelial keratitis and iritis. Analysis of tear samples by polymerase chain reaction confirmed diagnosis. The patient treated oral steroids acyclovir, significant improvement. Two months visual acuity improved there no evidence herpetic disease recurrence. Crosslinking can induce iritis even patients history...
To present the results after simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) followed by corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) for progressive keratoconus.Twelve patients (14 eyes) with keratoconus were prospectively treated customized topography-guided PRK Pulzar Z1 (wavelength 213 nm, CustomVis) immediately CXL use of riboflavin and ultraviolet A irradiation.Mean follow-up was 10.69+/-5.95 months (range: 3 to 16 months). Mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction (SE) -3.03+/-3.23...
In the epidermis, highest clonogenicity, a feature of stem cells (SCs), is found in smallest keratinocyte. limbal-corneal (LC) epithelium SCs are exclusively localized basal epithelial layer limbal domain. The current study was conducted to determine whether this spatial SC arrangement reflected differences cell size between and corneal cells.In vivo confocal microscopy used scan measure central cornea superior limbus five normal subjects, from superficial layer. Limbal pure sheets were...
To evaluate the safety of a new suprachoroidal device, Cypass micro-stent, for surgical treatment open-angle glaucoma (OAG) implanted in conjunction with cataract surgery.Multicenter clinical study.Prospective interventional case series.This is an interim report ongoing study. Patients OAG (Shaffer grade 3 and 4) who were also candidates surgery affected eye had standard phacoemulsification followed by micro-stent implantation supraciliary space. Included patients uncontrolled (≥ 21 mm Hg,...
A 27-year-old man presented with corneal ectasia in his left eye 4 years after myopic laser situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and was treated riboflavin–ultraviolet-A (crosslinking). During the first post-treatment days, diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) (stage III) developed. The microbiology culture negative. After intensive treatment topical corticosteroids, DLK resolved during following 2 weeks. Crosslinking for post-LASIK may induce DLK. Early diagnosis appropriate corticosteroids is essential...
A 34-year-old woman had simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy and corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin-ultraviolet-A irradiation for the treatment of progressive pellucid marginal degeneration in both eyes. No intraoperative or early postoperative complications occurred. Twelve months postoperatively, uncorrected visual acuity was assessed at 20/40 eyes compared counting fingers preoperatively. The corrected also improved from 20/50 20/63 to 20/25 20/32 right eye left eye,...
<h3>Objective</h3> To report 1-year results and anterior segment optical coherence tomography findings of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty combined with phacoemulsification in patients cataract Fuchs dystrophy. <h3>Methods</h3> Twelve eyes 11 at least follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Measured variables included best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, refractive spherical equivalent predictability, corneal keratometric values, complications, findings....
To assess the effect of cataract on optical coherence tomography (OCT), signal strength (SS), and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements.Peripapillary RNFL measurements were obtained by Stratus OCT scans using Fast (3.4) acquisition protocol before after extraction in 45 patients with cataract, including 23 glaucoma patients. Cataracts graded according to Lens Opacities Classification System III.The postoperative SS 9.3% (P=0.001) 24.1% (P<0.001) higher than...
Purpose: To report a case of refractory giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) treated by using topical tacrolimus 0.03% ointment. Methods: A 16-year-old white boy with history GPC was referred to our department for severe eye itching, tearing, photophobia, discharge, and blepharospasm. The patient had received previous treatments antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, corticosteroid ointments, surgical resection-cryopexy that were ineffective. Results: Topical ointment (Protopic; 0.5 cm)...
