Purpose: The aim of this study was to report long-term follow-up of eyes undergoing Descemet stripping only (DSO).
Methods: This was a retrospective study including 26 eyes of 20 patients undergoing DSO between December 2015 and November 2022. Eligibility criteria included peripheral endothelial cell count (ECC) >1000 cells/mm 2 and symptoms caused by central guttata.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the mechanisms leading to the refractive shift and intraocular lens calculation error induced by Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), using ocular biometry and corneal elevation tomography data.
Methods: This is a retrospective, monocentric cohort study. Eyes which underwent uncomplicated DMEK surgery with available pre-DMEK and post-DMEK Scheimpflug rotating camera data (Pentacam, Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) were considered for inclusion with an age-matched control group of healthy corneas.
Introduction: We aimed to study the prevalence of a history of COVID-19 infection among patients suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and the potential influence of long-term hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) intake.
Methods: We performed an observational monocentric cohort study at the Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation Hospital ophthalmology division (Paris, France). Electronic medical records (EMR) data were searched for keywords associated with SLE, RA, SjS, or PsA.
Purpose: To report the first known case of Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) graft rejection following COVID19 infection.
Observation: A 60-year-old woman with a history of DMEK for Fuch's dystrophy, presented with redness and vision loss in her operated eye 18 months after surgery. Further clinical history revealed systemic symptoms consistent with COVID19, which had started 3 weeks prior to the onset of ocular symptoms.
: To evaluate the effect of intracameral cefuroxime on graft endothelial cell loss after simple Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) and combined DMEK and cataract surgery.: Single-center retrospective comparative analysis. One hundred and three patients were included, 31 in the cefuroxime group and 72 in the non-cefuroxime (NC) group.

Methods: Twelve consecutive cases of DMEK surgery were performed using the glasses-assisted 3D display system NGENUITY (Alcon) and matched with similar cases performed by using the OPMI-Lumera 700 surgical microscope (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) in this prospective cross-sectional study realized at the Rothschild Foundation, Paris, France. DMEK graft preparation time, graft unfolding time, time to perform the descemetorhexis (DM), and overall surgical time were recorded.

Purpose: To evaluate eye rubbing and sleeping position in patients with Unilateral or Highly Asymmetric Keratoconus (UHAKC).
Methods: Case-control study of consecutive UHAKC patients diagnosed at the Rothschild Foundation. Controls were age- and sex-matched, randomly selected refractive surgery clinic patients.
Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) performed after previous penetrating keratoplasty (PK) failure and to describe primary outcomes.
Methods: Twenty-eight eyes of 28 patients who underwent DMEK after primary PK failure between January 2013 and November 2017 were included in this single-center retrospective study. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, endothelial cell density, and the recipient's central corneal thickness were recorded preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery.
Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcomes and fourth-order Zernike spherical aberrations induced with a customized change in corneal asphericity (ΔQ) correction of presbyopia combined with monovision for hyperopic patients.
Methods: Consecutive hyperopic patients who underwent presbyopic LASIK between September 2013 and July 2014 were included. For the non-dominant eyes, the aspheric ablation profile associated with a myopic refraction was planned using the Custom-Q nomogram (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.
Purpose: To evaluate the learning curve for graft preparation and graft unrolling during Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and to assess the evolution of visual acuity gain and percentage cell loss with experience.
Methods: The first 109 DMEK procedures performed by a single surgeon (A.S.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical impact of implanting donor tissue torn during preparation for the Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty procedure.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective analysis of consecutive cases, 10 cases with torn donor tissue from one surgeon's caseload of 175 procedures were analyzed and compared with control cases. Best-corrected visual acuity, endothelial cell density of the donor tissue measured by specular microscopy, and the recipient's central corneal thickness were recorded preoperatively and again 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery.
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of dry eye disease (DED) in workers using visual display terminals (VDT).
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data Sources: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Science Direct databases for studies reporting DED prevalence in VDT workers.
Purpose: To determine the characteristics and risk factors for occurrence of opaque bubble layer (OBL) during femtosecond laser-assisted flap creation for LASIK.
Methods: One hundred ninety-eight eyes of 102 consecutive patients who underwent LASIK flap creation performed with the Alcon WaveLight FS200 laser (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) were retrospectively analyzed in a cohort study.
Introduction: Several acute neurological syndromes can be triggered by immune events. Hepatitis E virus (HEV), an emerging infectious disease, can be one of these triggers.
Case Report: We report the case of a 36-year-old man that presented nausea and a dull abdominal pain for a week and then felt an acute neuralgic pain involving both shoulders that lasted for 8 to 10 hours.
