Purpose: Although several donor, recipient, and graft characteristics have been studied in relation to corneal transplantation outcomes, no study to our knowledge has assessed the impact of donor cooling times on postoperative outcomes longitudinally. With only one corneal graft available for every 70 needed worldwide, this study seeks to identify any factors that could alleviate this shortage.
Methods: Patients undergoing corneal transplantation at the Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital over a 2-year period were retrospectively studied.
Rapid keratitis and perforation after corneal collagen cross-linking.

Purpose: To describe a case of rapid keratitis and corneal perforation after epithelium off collagen cross-linking.
Observations: We report a case of a 17-year-old male who underwent collagen cross-linking with the protocol and device approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that developed a corneal infiltrate 3 days after the procedure. He later developed corneal thinning and perforation on day 5 requiring the use of cyanoacrylate glue and a Kontur lens.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical cenegermin (recombinant human nerve growth factor) in patients with neurotrophic keratopathy.
Design: Multicenter, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled trial.
Participants: Patients with neurotrophic persistent epithelial defect with or without stromal thinning.
Purpose: To compare visual outcomes and complications of Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) in eyes with anterior chamber (AC) versus pars plana (PP) glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs).
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of 85 eyes that underwent DSEK and had previous or concurrent AC (37 eyes) or PP (48 eyes) GDD implantation. Outcome measures examined included visual acuity, donor dislocation rate, intraocular pressure, and secondary graft failure (SGF).
