Longitudinal Analysis of Ocular Disease in Children with Mucopolysaccharidosis I after Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.

Corneal clouding, causing visual impairment, is seen in nearly all patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 (MPS-1). Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is able to stabilize disease in many organs. Residual disease in several tissues is being increasingly recognized, however.

DSAEK: practical approach to choose the microkeratome head on the basis of donor cornea pachymetry.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to supply data on the relationship between Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) graft thickness and its effects on visual acuity (VA), pace of visual recovery, endothelial cell densities (ECDs), and surgical complications. We additionally provide an approach for choosing the microkeratome blade thickness when multiple patients are scheduled for DSAEK.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of all DSAEK procedures performed at our institute from January 2011 to December 2012.
