Background: We describe corneal endothelial cell density and morphology in normal Iranian eyes and compare endothelial cell characteristics in the Iranian population with data available in the literature for American and Indian populations.
Aim: To compare the efficacy and complications of conjunctival limbal autograft (CLAU) and amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) vs intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) and AMT for treatment of recurrent pterygium. Methods: Forty eyes of 40 patients with recurrent pterygium underwent CLAU and AMT (20 eyes) or intraoperative MMC (0.02%, 3 min) and AMT (20 eyes). Three eyes (15%) had symblepharon before surgery in each group. Recurrence was compared in each group by using v 2 test. Results: No major postoperative complications occurred during 6-19 months of follow-up. In CLAU/AMT group, no pterygium recurrence was observed. Recurrence occurred in four eyes (20%) in MMC/AMT group after 3 and 4 months (P-value ¼ 0.035, v 2 test). No recurrence of pterygium or symblepharon was seen in six eyes with recurrent pterygium and symblepharon (three eyes in each group). Conclusion: CLAU with AMT seems to be more effective than intraoperative MMC with AMT for treatment of recurrent pterygium.

During secondary posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) implantation with iris fixation in the absence of capsule support, we implanted an acrylic 3-piece PC IOL through a small clear corneal incision with haptics secured in knots; there was no need for IOL capture. Sutures were placed appropriately in the iris tissue before the IOL was inserted, ensuring safety of the procedure and centration of the IOL.
Purpose
The concentration of women entrepreneurs on influential events such as the development of green entrepreneurship, which lead to the coordination and dynamic balance between economic and environmental goals, can create a bright future for businesses with sustainable and environmentally friendly architecture. The main purpose of this study is to provide a framework for the successful entry of women entrepreneurs into green entrepreneurship.
Design/methodology/approach
The present qualitative applied descriptive-analytical study was conducted on a population of women entrepreneurs working in green businesses. This population was obtained by the non-probability chain sampling method and an exploratory interview with the saturation of 12 individuals. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the findings.
Findings
The results revealed that creating shared value, inclusive social acceptance, multifaceted interactions and green dynamic bedding are effective in the entry of women entrepreneurs into green entrepreneurship in the form of “competitive empowerment” and “multiplied green synergy”. Thus, managers and planners should consider some factors, including shared value, social acceptance, inclusive acceptance, building green culture, knowledge flows, multiple participation, networking dimension, green marketing, competitiveness, creating platforms, green technologies and risk management.
Originality/value
This research tries to present a framework for the entry of women entrepreneurs into green entrepreneurship area.
