Penetrating keratoplasties in infants
This retrospective review looked at endothelial cell counts (ECC) following penetrating keratoplasties (PKP) performed in infants within the first year of their life. One hundred eyes of 71 patients had their first PKP during the study period (1998-2013). In 30%...
Transfected RPE cells inhibit AMD in rats
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Wet AMD is characterised by choroidal neovascularisation, new vessels into the retina, leading to leakage and tissue damage. Many proangiogenic factors particularly vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)...
Long-term effect of YAG LPI on corneal endothelium in PACS
This is a single-centre randomised controlled trial of 875 patients with bilateral primary angle closure suspect (PACS) who received YAG laser iridotomy (LPI) prophylactic treatment in one eye randomly and the fellow eye served as control over 72 months. Central...
Medial rectus anatomy in exotropia
This study investigates the differences between extraocular muscles in patients with intermittent exotropia and normal controls regarding muscle fibre arrangement and diameter, and distribution and activation of satellite cells. Fifteen patients were recruited having medial rectus resection surgery. Resection sections...
Does lower eyelid entropion repair alter corneal topography?
The authors aimed to analyse the corneal morphology before and after advancement of posterior lower eyelid retractors (LERs) alone or in combination with a lateral tarsal strip (LTS) for lower eyelid involutional entropion. Retrospective analysis of 24 consecutive elderly patients...
Changes in corneal endothelial layer after strabismus surgery
The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the corneal endothelial layer by specular microscopy after surgery in patients with horizontal and oblique strabismus. Eighty-three eyes of 56 patients were evaluated prospectively. There were three subgroups: one...
ROCK inhibition after descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty: a small but timely Indian RCT
The authors present a single-centre, prospective, randomised, comparative clinical trial (RCT) of 24 eyes of 24 patients with mild-to-moderate Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) undergoing combined phacoemulsification and a standardised 4mm central descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty (DWEK), with or without...
