A cause of reticular interface haze and its management after descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty.

Purpose: To describe a cause and management of interface haze after Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK).

Methods: Five patients underwent uncomplicated combined DSEK/phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation at a tertiary referral center over a span of 3 months. In each case, the recipient Descemet membrane was stripped with the anterior chamber filled with a cohesive viscoelastic.

Descemet's membrane automated endothelial keratoplasty (DMAEK): visual outcomes and visual quality.

Background/aims: To determine whether the stromal rim that carries the bare endothelial graft in Descemet's membrane automated endothelial keratoplasty (DMAEK) has any effect on final visual outcome or visual quality.

Methods: Twenty-four DMAEK eyes and 22 Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) eyes (with no stromal rim) were evaluated for corrected distance acuity, full-field Humphrey visual field (VF) 120-2 and pupil size. The inner and outer diameter of the DMAEK stromal ring was measured from slit lamp photos.

Late-onset traumatic dislocation with central tissue loss of laser in situ keratomileusis flap.

Purpose: We report the occurrence and outcome of a severe late-onset traumatic dislocation of a laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap with loss of central flap tissue.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 40-year-old woman underwent uncomplicated bilateral LASIK surgery, followed 5 years later by an enhancement procedure in both eyes.
