Impact of graft thickness on visual acuity after Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty.

Objective To evaluate the relationship, over time, between central graft thickness and visual acuity following Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK). Methods A retrospective analysis of 70 consecutive cases of DSEK. All donor lenticules were dissected manually.

SynergEyes lenses for keratoconus.

Purpose: To discuss the initial results of fitting SynergEyes hybrid contact lenses (SynergEyes, Inc, Carlsbad, CA) for keratoconus (KC) and pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD).

Methods: The charts of patients fit with SynergEyes lenses during the first 7 months the lens was available on the Cornea Service at Wills Eye Institute (August 3, 2006 to March 5, 2007) were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: Sixty-one eyes (44 patients) with KC (58 eyes) or PMD (3 eyes) were fit with SynergEyes hybrid contacts.
