Floppy eyelid syndrome is a recently described entity, which characteristically involves overweight individuals. The characteristic findings are an upper lid that may be readily everted, tarsal laxity, and diffuse papillary conjunctival changes. cause of floppy believed to mechanical disorder due the eversion lids while sleeping. keratoconus remains uncertain. There strong proponents etiology for this disease. authors report five cases with concomitant keratoconus. One patient bilateral had...
Correction of irregular astigmatism has not been possible using available keratorefractive technology.The authors used a topographic map as guide and created custom excimer ablation program, designed to create more regular surface. The program consisted combination phototherapeutic photorefractive patterns. amount tissue be removed was calculated on the basis diameter steepness areas corneal surface.A surface, evidenced by analysis, reduced astigmatism, improved uncorrected visual acuity,...
Abstract Purpose Corneal ulcers frequently result in ocular morbidity and may lead to permanent visual impairment if severe or untreated. This study aims evaluate the association of patient factors exam findings on clinical outcomes for patients diagnosed with a corneal ulcer at tertiary care center Bronx, New York. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted all ambulatory admitted (identified using ICD-10 code H16.0) Montefiore Medical Center, NY between 2016–2022. Patient...
Whereas specular microscopy may provide valuable preoperative information about the status of endothelial cells in clear corneas, many diseased corneas that come to penetrating keratoplasty, stromal opacities or epithelial edema prevents determinations condition endothelium. A method has been developed wherein diseased-host keratoplasty specimens are maintained postoperatively McCarey-Kaufman medium and thereafter stained as whole mounts with alizarin red S trypan blue evaluate monolayer....
The objective of the study is to report a case ocular manifestations in patient with hydralazine-induced vasculitis.An 88-year-old female was admitted for lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Nine days after admission, she developed bilateral conjunctival chemosis and injection, which rapidly progressed into grouped blistering eruptions periorbital skin, face, neck. After extensive testing evaluation, her constellation findings diagnosed as vasculitis. Treatment intravenous steroids...
Purpose: To investigate the effects of expansion in eye bank donor age from 75 to 80 years on corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) and surgeon acceptance rate donated tissues. Methods: Conducted as a single-site retrospective analysis, study examined 25,969 corneas 2018 2022. After increase limit August 2022, sample included donors aged 2 (n = 25,558) 76 411). Donor characteristics, ECD, tissue rates were compared across groups stratified by 5-year intervals. Results: Increasing upper...
Abstract: Conjunctival flaps have previously proven to be effective in preserving the globe for individuals with severe ocular surface disease. Infectious keratitis, neurotrophic nontraumatic corneal melts, descemetoceles, perforations, and burns are all indications this procedure. The promote nutrition, metabolism, structure, vascularity, as well reduce pain, irritation, inflammation, infection. Furthermore, patients avoid emotional psychological repercussions of enucleation or...
In Reply. —We regret that our computerized and manual literature searches did not turn up the article by Drs Spence Peyman indeed provided first description of combined staining with trypan blue alizarin red S for delineating normal abnormal corneal endothelium. their zeal to put historical record straight, they do us a disservice implying we touted this method as new having been invented ourselves whereas, in fact, fourth reference introduction credits antecedent work Sperling 1 on...
