Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency: Demographics and Clinical Characteristics of a Large Retrospective Series at a Single Tertiary Referral Center.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to characterize a large cohort of patients presenting to a single referral center for limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD).

Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients with a clinical diagnosis of LSCD from 2002 to 2015 was performed. Demographics, etiology, previous ocular surgeries, visual acuity, and treatment were assessed.

Donor-Derived Conjunctival-Limbal Melanoma After a Keratolimbal Allograft.

Purpose: To report a single case of donor-derived conjunctival-limbal melanoma that occurred after a keratolimbal allograft (KLAL).

Methods: Case report and literature review.

Results: A 56-year-old white woman with a history of bilateral limbal stem cell deficiency developed a donor-related melanoma after a KLAL.

Outcomes of Keratoplasty After Ocular Surface Stem Cell Transplantation.

Purpose: To investigate the long-term outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) after ocular surface stem cell transplantation (OSST).

Methods: An observational retrospective review was performed on all patients who underwent OSST followed by either PK or DALK with a minimum of 6-month follow-up.

Results: One hundred two eyes fulfilled the inclusion criteria.

Rate of Rejection After Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty in Fuchs Dystrophy: Three-Year Follow-up.

Purpose: To evaluate the rate of rejection after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in patients with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (ED) and to analyze potential risk factors for rejection.

Methods: An observational retrospective chart review of 400 patients with Fuchs ED was performed. The primary outcome was the rate of endothelial graft rejection.
