Analysis of association of bandage contact lens with serious vision-threatening diseases and their management.

Background: Bandage contact lenses are important aids for aftercare following ocular surgery and for a wide variety of ocular surface conditions. However, bandage contact lenses also bear the risk of fostering microbial infections of the cornea. We herein report the safety profile of bandage contact lenses from a comprehensive review of medical records in a tertiary care eye hospital in Germany.

3D Mapping of the DMEK Detachment Area from OCT Scans of the Anterior Segment of the Eye - Clinical Applications.

Graft detachment is the most common complication after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). To assess the amount of graft detachment, precision is limited when using slit-lamp biomicroscopy. Detachment of DMEK grafts can be assessed automatically on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS OCT) images and allows visualization of the area and volume of detachment using 3D maps.

Supine Positioning for Graft Attachment After Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: The Supine Positioning for Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Attachment (SUPER-DMEK) trial assessed the efficacy of prolonged supine head positioning on graft attachment.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Methods: Participants with Fuchs' dystrophy were randomized to 5 days of supine head positioning (intervention) or to 1 day (control).

Diurnal Variation of Visual Acuity and Refraction in Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy.

Purpose: Patients with advanced Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy frequently report poor vision in the morning, which improves as the day progresses. This study quantified the amount of variation in near and distance visual acuity and refraction over the course of a day.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study.

Graft Detachment after Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty with and without Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate graft detachment after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in pseudophakic eyes and DMEK combined with cataract surgery (triple DMEK).

Design: Analysis of 3 single-center prospective cohort studies and 1 randomized controlled trial.

Participants: Participants with Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy.
