Combined conjunctival rotational autograft with 0.02% mitomycin C in primary pterygium surgery: a long-term follow-up study.

Background/aims: To compare the long-term outcomes of primary pterygium surgery with combined conjunctival rotational autograft and mitomycin C (CRA-MMC), mitomycin C alone (MMC) and limbal conjunctival autograft (LCAU).

Methods: The outcomes of primary pterygium excision followed by conjunctival rotational autograft (CRA) combined with intraoperative 0.02% MMC for 5 min (group 1, CRA-MMC, n=61) were compared with historical control groups consisting of, pterygium excision with MMC (group 2, n=47), and, pterygium excision with limbal conjunctival autograft (LCAU) (group 3, n=29).

Long-term symptomatic relief of bullous keratopathy with amniotic membrane transplant.

The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term outcome of patients with symptomatic bullous keratopathy after amniotic membrane transplant. A retrospective cohort study includes that 20 patients with symptomatic bullous keratopathy, who have underwent amniotic membrane transplant at the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Prince of Wales Hospital & Alice Ho Miu Ling Hospital, Hong Kong between 04/1998 and 06/2011, were invited back. Clinical examination was performed, including, pain score assessment (pain score out of 10), epithelial healing, and vision.

Long-term outcomes of endothelial keratoplasty in Chinese eyes at a University Hospital.

Background: Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) is used increasingly for the management of cases with endothelial dysfunction. Long-term outcomes of the surgery are not widely reported in the literature. We report our experience of EK in Chinese eyes at a University teaching hospital.

Long-term outcome of scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation.

Purpose: Implantation of a scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) for the surgical management of aphakia in the absence of capsular support is a safe procedure with a low risk of complications in the early postoperative period. However, data on long-term functional outcome are limited. The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term outcome and complication profile of SFIOL implantation in a cohort of Chinese patients.

Ten-year results of a randomized controlled trial comparing 0.02% mitomycin C and limbal conjunctival autograft in pterygium surgery.

Objective: To compare the long-term outcome of pterygium surgery and the long-term effect on endothelial counts after mitomycin C (MMC) or limbal conjunctival autograft (LCAU) in pterygium surgery.

Design: We performed a 10-year follow-up study of a randomized controlled trial.

Participants: A total of 115 eyes of 114 patients with primary pterygium were treated with intraoperative MMC (n = 63) or LCAU transplants (n = 52).

A new era in corneal transplantation: paradigm shift and evolution of techniques.

Penetrating keratoplasty is the replacement of a diseased cornea with a full-thickness donor graft. In the last century, this 'gold standard' procedure was long established as the treatment of choice for various corneal diseases. The classical indications for a penetrating keratoplasty entailed optical, tectonic, therapeutic, and cosmetic issues.

Severe and recurrent interface hemorrhage after endothelial keratoplasty.

Purpose: To report the occurrence and management of recurrent hemorrhage after Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) in a patient with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.

Methods: An 84-year-old Chinese woman on two oral antiplatelet drugs underwent DSEK in her left eye. Preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 20/30 OD and 14/200 OS.

Assessment of pupil size under different light intensities using the Procyon pupillometer.

Purpose: To study the relationship between pupil size and light intensity using the Procyon pupillometer.

Setting: University based clinic.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 20 consecutive patients had pupil size assessment with the Procyon pupillometer under 3 different light conditions--4, 0.

Confocal microscopy of posterior polymorphous endothelial dystrophy.

Purpose: To report the in vivo confocal microscopic findings of posterior polymorphous endothelial dystrophy (PPED).

Methods: Four patients with PPED from 2 unrelated families and 2 asymptomatic children of an index patient were included in this observational case series. The eyes of the 6 subjects were examined by confocal light microscopy.

Successful treatment of surgically induced necrotizing scleritis with tacrolimus.

A 46-year-old man developed surgically induced necrotizing scleritis (SINS) 7 months following uneventful primary bare sclera pterygium excision. The patient underwent two scleral patch grafts for SINS but despite the use of cyclophosphamide and azathioprine, the scleral patch grafts failed within 1 month of surgery on both occasions. Tacrolimus was used for his third scleral patch graft.

In vivo confocal microscopy of Thygeson's superficial punctate keratitis.

A 56-year-old Chinese man diagnosed with Thygeson's keratitis by clinical biomicroscopy was examined using a tandem scanning confocal microscope. Among normal superficial epithelial cells, clumps of markedly enlarged epithelial cells were identified. Multiple highly reflective filamentary structures were observed in the deeper layers.

Orthokeratology lens-related corneal ulcers in children: a case series.

Objective: Orthokeratology is a process by which the corneal curvature is flattened by sequentially fitting rigid gas permeable contact lenses of decreasing central curvature. There has been a resurgence of interest with the recent introduction of reverse geometry lenses. Although promising results have been described in reducing the myopic refractive error, the use of these lenses can be associated with corneal problems, as reported in this case series.

Purpose: To report a case of orthokeratology lens-related Pseudomonas corneal ulcer in an adult.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 37-year-old man presented with a 1-day history of painful red eye.
