Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty versus penetrating keratoplasty in corneas showing a high or low graft rejection risk.

Purpose: To compare visual, topographic and topometric outcomes in patients subjected to deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty or penetrating keratoplasty showing a high or low risk of graft rejection.

Setting: Complejo Hospitalario La Mancha Centro, Ciudad Real, Spain.

Materials And Methods: Data were reviewed for consecutive patients with a corneal stroma disease undergoing deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty or penetrating keratoplasty over the period 2009-2015 at our centre by the same surgeon.

Keratolimbal autograft transplantation as a possible new treatment of Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy.

Case Report: The case concerns 64-year-old woman with visual acuity of 20/40 in the right eye. Slit-lamp examination revealed a grey, feathery corneal opacification with intraepithelial microcysts compatible with Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy (LECD). It was treated with epithelial debridements, contact lenses and mitomycin C, but the opacification recurred within months.

Keratitis caused by Absidia corymbifera in an immunocompetent male with no corneal injuries.

Case Report A healthy 55-years-old male went to emergency due to a white infiltrate in the left eye without corneal trauma which partially responds to antibiotic treatment. The infiltrate worsened by the use of topical steroids. Direct microscopic evaluation and Gram stain are a valuable diagnostic tool for the detection of Absidia filaments.

Amblyopia secondary to iris cyst.

Clinical Case: A 5 year-old child diagnosed with moderate anisometropic amblyopia secondary to primary cyst of iris pigment epithelium. He was evaluated with ultrasound biomicroscopy (BMU) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of anterior segment.

Discussion: The OCT, although with some limitations, is a useful tool to study the anterior segment.

[Relationship between donor-receptor interface and visual acuity in DSAEK].

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between best corrected visual acuity and donor-recipient interface resulting after Descemet's Stripping with Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK).

Methods: Retrospective review of 46 clinical histories after DSAEK intervention in which 22 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria (two with bilateral DSAEK), were studied. All were operated on by the same ophthalmologist from January 2010 until April 2011.
