Forward-tilt technique for intraocular pressure measurement in upgaze

The authors suggest a technique to improve the accuracy of measuring IOP in upgaze using Goldmann applanation tonometry. Graves’ ophthalmopathy, also known as thyroid eye disease, is an autoimmune inflammatory condition affecting the orbit and periorbital tissues [1]. It was...

Conservative vs surgical management outcomes for congenital fibrovascular pupillary membrane for young vs older children

The authors present the clinical characteristics and outcomes of different treatment methods for congenital fibrovascular pupillary membrane (CFPM). This was a retrospective case series from a single centre including 12 patients (13 eyes; 4 males, 8 females) over a 7-year...

Comparing femtosecond laser assisted-DMEK to manual DMEK

Femtosecond laser is as a novel tool for performing precise descemetorhexis in descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) surgery. In DMEK surgery, the recipient’s Descemet membrane is peeled to allow adherence of the donor DMEK tissue to the recipient’s stroma. Complete...

Limbal melanocytes and the stem cell niche

The cornea is continually regenerated to maintain clear vision, due to a population of stem cells located in the limbal region between the cornea and the conjunctiva. These limbal stem cells (LESC) reside in crypts in structures called the Pallisades...
