Pars plana vitrectomy with densiron is a preferred surgical procedure for the repair of macular hole retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes with posterior staphyloma.
The TE-CXL procedure appears to be safe and effective at least up to 18 months. The absence of epithelium debridement (necessary in the classical technique) makes the procedure more comfortable for the patient, and allows the treatment of thinner corneas (between 360 and 400 μm) and problematic patients.
We present a case of keratoconus in which the association with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy was established by confocal microscopy. Confocal microscopy enable us to assess the differential diagnosis between posterior corneal dystrophies, essential for a prognosis and therapeutic decision.
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.
