Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare choroidal thickness in patients with thyroid eye disease during active and stable phases.
- Researchers evaluated 47 eyes from 47 patients, categorizing them based on clinical activity scores, with those scoring 33 considered active.
- Results showed that choroidal thickness was significantly greater in the subfoveal and temporal macular regions of the active group compared to the stable group, highlighting potential implications for monitoring the disease.
Purpose: To describe a novel technique for a stabilized penetrating keratoplasty procedure with implantation of a scleral-sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens in which the anterior chamber (AC) is maintained and the globe stabilized without using a Flieringa ring.
Methods: In this procedure, a deep anterior corneal lamella separation was created. Four small incisions were made in each quadrant along the outer edge of the trephination groove of the residual stromal bed (RSB).
