“…ASOCT features of acute hydrops have been described earlier in 2 cases of pellucid marginal corneal degeneration and 1 case of keratoconus. 8,12,13 Isolated DM detachment without a break was also observed by Ramamurthy et al 8 Although this unusual finding questions our present understanding of the mechanism of corneal hydrops, a small planar DM break could also have been missed by the ASOCT scans, which are taken at 45-degree intervals. Nakagawa et al 14 used an ultrasound biomicroscope to study 13 eyes with acute corneal hydrops and noted intrastromal clefts and DM breaks in all eyes.…”

“…1,5 Conventional treatment is palliative, but corneal cauterization and thermokeratoplasty have been tried in the past to promote faster resolution of corneal edema. 4 More recently, intracameral injection of nonexpansile gases, such as air, 6 perfluoropropane (C 3 F 8 ), 7-10 and sulfur hexafluoride, 11,12 have been reported to be effective in providing early visual rehabilitation. However, very little is known about the in vivo morphology of the cornea during acute hydrops and how it affects the response to therapy.…”

The intent of this article is to highlight the various risk factors and the newer diagnostic modalities such as ultra biomicroscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography and confocal microscopy in cases of acute corneal hydrops. Further, the conventional as well as the newer treatment modalities are also described. Although newer diagnostic and treatment modalities are found to be useful, the available information in literature is limited. This article will encourage future prospective studies and randomized controlled trials, which may help in finding novel diagnostic and effective therapeutic techniques.

“…3 Anterior segment slitlamp-adapted optical coherence tomography (SL-OCT; 1310 nm diode laser, optical axial image resolution <25 mm and lateral resolution of 20 to 100 mm, Heidelberg Engineering, GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) has recently been used in evaluating DMD associated with various corneal pathologies. [4][5][6] Using SL-OCT, we evaluated a preexisting DMD where corneal edema and viscoelastic material obscured biomicroscopic visualization.…”
