Descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty
This retrospective study examined outcomes of the largest reported series of eyes, which underwent Descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty (DWEK) for Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy with mean 10 months of follow-up. Seventeen eyes were included in analysis; with 82.4% achieving corneal clearance...
Three muscle surgery results for ET
There is limited information in the literature on the outcomes of three muscle surgery. The authors aimed to evaluate the medium term motor outcomes of three horizontal muscle surgery in 18 patients with large angle infantile esotropia of at least...
Phakic iris clip lenses and endothelial cell loss
This retrospective observational study included long-term results on endothelial cell losses in highly myopic eyes, which underwent phakic iris-clip lens implantations. Included in the analysis were 113 eyes with mean preoperative spherical equivalent (SEQ) of -14.67 +/- 5.15 Diopters (D)....
