Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of femtosecond laser-enabled Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (FE-DMEK) in patients with failed penetrating keratoplasty (PK) grafts between 2014 and 2016 at Toronto Western Hospital.
- Results showed that FE-DMEK led to significant improvements in best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) while maintaining high graft viability with no major complications or rejections noted.
- However, a notable loss of endothelial cells was observed, with a decrease in density by about 64.8% at the final follow-up, which was higher than in historical controls.
Objective: To evaluate outcomes of difluprednate treatment in penetrating keratoplasty (PK) graft rejection DESIGN: Retrospective, interventional case series.
Participants: Patients treated with difluprednate for acute endothelial rejection after PK.
Methods: Data were collected on resolution of rejection, treatment regimen used, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), and side effects.
Purpose: To report the outcomes of stepwise combined femtosecond astigmatic keratotomy (FSAK) and phacoemulsification with toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the treatment of very high astigmatism after either penetrating keratoplasty or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
Methods: This is a retrospective, interventional case series including 8 eyes of 6 patients with very high astigmatism [≥8.00 diopter (D)] after either penetrating keratoplasty or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty who underwent FSAK, followed by phacoemulsification and toric IOL implantation.
Purpose: To evaluate 3-year outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (F-DMEK) compared with manual Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (M-DMEK) in patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD).
Methods: A retrospective, interventional study, including eyes with FECD and cataract that underwent either F-DMEK or M-DMEK combined with cataract extraction at either the Toronto Western Hospital or Kensington Eye Institute, and that had at least 18 months' follow-up was conducted.
Exclusion Criteria: complicated anterior segments, previous vitrectomy, previous keratoplasty, corneal opacity, or any other visually significant ocular comorbidity.
