. Patients who underwent Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty were enrolled in the study. We performed a comprehensive overview of the advantages of the surgery and analyzed the donor tissue selection criteria, indications, detailed surgical techniques of the procedure, and surgical outcomes. Results: Our cohort included 13 patients. We had successful results for all of our patients, with final visual acuity of more than 6/12. The 2 indications for surgery were pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy. Conclusions: Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty is becoming a revolutionary procedure in corneal surgery and replacing penetrating keratoplasty in many clinical situations.
Objectives: To evaluate whether updating corneal topography instrumentation and educating surgeons on optimum patient selection can result in improved toric IOL outcome. Methods: A retrospective file review of patients who underwent cataract extraction and toric IOL
This is a medical record review that was performed at Lahey Hospital Medical Center. Medical records in the period between 12/2003 and 12/2013 were reviewed; 1098 medical records were reviewed, those who were carrying diagnosis of Herpetic Eye Disease (HED) were divided into 2 groups according to the etiological agent: Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) (n=473) , Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) (n=625). The groups were evaluated for the age at diagnosis and the etiologies of elevated Intra occular Pressure (IOP), whether it was HED related (trabeculitis, steroid response), or non HED Glaucoma Related Diagnosis. Although many of the features between HSV and VZV subgroups are similar, the VZV group was older and appeared to have more prolonged hypertensive course than the HSV group. 4.3% of patients with HED have significant elevated IOP directly related to disease or treatment. Secondary glaucoma is a consequence of Herpetic Eye disease, but fortunately surgical intervention is rarely required to control IOP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
