Persistent corneal fibrosis after explantation of a small-aperture corneal inlay.

The KAMRA small-aperture corneal inlay can compensate for presbyopia. A small number of complications have been reported, including glare, halos, decentration, iron deposition, compromised distance and night vision, infectious keratitis and reversal corneal haze. We describe a case of corneal fibrosis after small-aperture corneal inlay implantation and its persistence after late explantation.

Conventional and Iontophoresis Corneal Cross-Linking for Keratoconus: Efficacy and Assessment by Optical Coherence Tomography and Confocal Microscopy.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy, safety, and microstructural corneal changes during 2 years after conventional corneal collagen cross-linking (C-CXL) and transepithelial corneal CXL by iontophoresis (I-CXL) for keratoconus.

Methods: Eighty eyes of 80 patients with progressive keratoconus were treated by C-CXL (n = 40) or I-CXL (n = 40). Patients were investigated before surgery and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment.

Anatomic Predictive Factors of Acute Corneal Hydrops in Keratoconus: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study.

Purpose: To define the optical coherence tomography (OCT) corneal changes predisposing to acute corneal hydrops among patients with advanced keratoconus.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Participants: A total of 191 advanced keratoconic eyes from 191 patients with advanced keratoconus cases were studied.
