The evolution of the modified osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis, its reliability, and long-term visual rehabilitation prognosis: An analytical review.

An exhaustive search of the world's literature was performed to analyze all case reports and series on the modified osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (MOOKP) published up to January 2022. The demographic profile, the primary indication for surgery, surgical technique variations, postoperative medical management, long-term functional and anatomical outcomes, and intra- and postoperative complications were analyzed and compared. Additionally, some of the authors' (GI, VP, and GA) unpublished MOOKP cases were studied.

Update on indications, complications, and outcomes of scleral contact lenses.

Background: The role of scleral contact lenses (SCLs) has increasingly expanded since the first lens was fitted more than a century ago. While it was initially prescribed for the management of severely compromised corneas, the indications for modern SCL use have expanded to include less severe diseases. In this review, we aimed to provide an up-to-date overview of the current indications, complications, and outcomes for the various types of SCLs.

Experimental design of a culture approach for corneal endothelial cells of New Zealand white rabbit.

The harvesting of corneal endothelial cells (CEC) has received special attention due to its potential as a therapy for corneal blindness. The main challenges are related to the culture media formulation, cellular density at the primary isolation, and the number of passages in which CEC can retain their functional characteristics. To alternate different media formulations to harvest CEC has an impact on the cellular yield and morphology.
