Predictive factors of long-term visual outcomes after primary Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK): retrospective study.

Purpose: To determine predictive factors of higher levels of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the long-term after primary Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).

Methods: Retrospective, single-surgeon case series of 129 successful primary DMEK eyes without graft failure and with a minimum postoperative follow-up of 12 months. Mixed effect model for repeated measurements (MMRM) analysis was performed to determine recipient, donor, surgical and postoperative factors associated with BCVA ≤ 0.

Intraocular Lens Opacification After Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty-Risk Factors and Outcomes After Intraocular Lens Exchange.

Purpose: To determine risk factors for intraocular lens opacification (IOLop) after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and to analyze clinical outcomes after IOL exchange.

Methods: Cross-Sectional Study: Analysis of all cases of IOL exchange because of post-DMEK IOLop with a minimum of 6-month postoperative follow-up observed in clinic between November 2021 and April 2022. Main outcomes analyzed at the study visit were change in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) best-corrected visual acuity after IOL exchange, endothelial cell loss (ECL), and graft survival.

Suboptimal visual outcome after femto-LASIK ablation in a high myopic patient.

A 28-year-old nurse had an aberration-free femto-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) performed for her myopia of -6.25 -0.50 × 096 and -6.

Peripheral Vision in Patients Following Intraocular Lens Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: To update the literature on peripheral optics and vision following intraocular lens (IOLs) implantation.

Methods: We investigated how current IOLs influence peripheral visual function, peripheral optical quality, and visual perception and performance, in patients following cataract surgery. Peripheral vision is described as vision outside the central foveal region of the eye (beyond 4-5° of eccentricity).

Ultrathin DSAEK versus DMEK - Review of systematic reviews.

The efficacy and safety of Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and ultrathin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (UT-DSAEK) have been recently compared in several systematic reviews (SRs). The aim of this study was to assess the evidence quality of such SRs, in order to obtain a scientifically rigorous comparison between the two techniques. We performed a systematic review of SRs and meta-analyses comparing the efficacy and safety between UT-DSAEK and DMEK up to 24th March 2023, using 3 electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar) plus manual reference search.

Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty for Corneal Endothelial Failure Secondary to Three Types of Phakic Intraocular Lens - Retrospective Study.

Purpose: To analyze the outcomes of Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for corneal endothelial failure secondary to phakic intraocular lens implantation (PIOL) at a reference center for corneal transplantation in Spain.

Design: Retrospective, single-surgeon case series.

Methods: Single-center analysis of patients who underwent DMEK for PIOL-related corneal decompensation between July 2011 and July 2020 with at least 6 months of follow-up postoperatively.

Outcomes of cystoid macular edema following Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty in a referral center for keratoplasty in Spain: retrospective study.

The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of eyes with visually significant cystoid macular œdema (vs-CMO) after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in a referral center for keratoplasty in Spain. We conducted a retrospective, single-surgeon case series of eyes that developed post-DMEK vs-CMO performed between January 2011 and December 2020. Data collected included: indication for DMEK; biometric data; ocular comorbidities; past medical history; time to detection of vs-CMO after DMEK (T, weeks); best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, logMAR) and central retinal thickness (CRT, µm) at diagnosis of vs-CMO, after resolution of CMO, and at last follow-up; and management strategy.

Ten-year outcomes of pseudophakic mini-monovision correction of hyperopic presbyopia.

Purpose: To evaluate long-term efficacy, safety, and spectacle independence after the treatment of hyperopic presbyopia with pseudophakic mini-monovision using standard monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) after bilateral cataract surgery.

Setting: Private practice in Barcelona, Spain.

Design: Retrospective, noncomparative case series.

DMEK for the treatment of interface fluid syndrome secondary to failed DSAEK graft: A case report and review of the literature.

Purpose: To report a case of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for the management of post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) interface fluid syndrome (IFS) secondary to failed Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) graft, and to provide a literature review on endothelial keratoplasty (EK) for this indication.

Observations: A 52-year-old patient presented with LASIK interface fluid accumulation and a non-functioning primary DSAEK graft. Past ophthalmic history was relevant for: (1) phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implantation with later refinement by LASIK; (2) combined PIOL explantation and refractive lens exchange due to accelerated endothelial cell loss (ECL); (3) primary DSAEK due to corneal decompensation.

Acute corneal allograft rejection following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination-A systematic review.

All documented cases of acute corneal allograft rejection following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination were examined, to characterize possible risk factors and graft outcomes. Comprehensive search (4 electronic databases: PubMed, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov, Google Scholar, plus manual search in articles' reference lists) until March 1st 2022 to identify studies reporting acute corneal allograft rejection following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination; study protocol was developed in line with PRISMA statement.

Liposomal Ozonated Oil in Ocular Infections: A Review of Preclinical and Clinical Studies, Focusing on Its Antiseptic and Regenerative Properties.

Ozonated oil has shown antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties that make it useful in the prevention of infectious diseases and also as an adjuvant in wound-healing management. This review brings together most aspects of the use of liposomal ozonated oil for ocular infections and regeneration of the ocular surface. A search was performed in PubMed, Medline, Web of Science and Cochrane Library for studies published by June 2021.

Laser-integrated real-time OCT in anterior segment procedures.

Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) was so far only available as a microscope-integrated or handheld device. Recently, this technology has been integrated into a femtosecond (FS) laser. This pilot study analyzed the potential of intraoperative imaging using OCT during FS-assisted procedures of the anterior eye segment.

Whole anterior segment and retinal swept source OCT for comprehensive ocular screening.

Whole eye visualization and morphometry are of high relevance in clinical practice. However, most standard ophthalmic OCT instruments are dedicated either to retinal or to anterior segment imaging. We demonstrate a swept source optical coherence tomography system (SS-OCT) that images both the whole anterior segment and the retina alternately using a single source and detector.

Methods: Literature search of English-written publications up to September 27, 2020 in PubMed database, using the terms "endothelial keratoplasty" in combination with keywords "secondary" or "repeat." In addition, we manually searched the references of the primary articles.

Eye bank and theatre factors for positive microbiological culture of corneoscleral rim and cornea storage medium in the real-world.

Objectives: To evaluate microbiological culture rate and positivity of corneoscleral rim and cornea storage media as well as possible risk factors for contamination with real-world data.

Methods: Data of consecutive cornea donors implanted in the reference centre from January 2013 to January 2018 were reviewed. Information about cornea characteristics (donor demographic data, endothelial cell density, type of cornea conservation, days of storage, and precut vs full-thickness tissue), and microbiological culture information (corneoscleral rim vs storage sample, positive result) were statistically analysed.
