Background: To assess minimum and maximum changes in anterior chamber dimensions following routine cataract surgery in non-glaucomatous eyes.

Methods: Forty-two eyes (42 participants) underwent routine cataract surgery with same surgeon and were assessed preoperatively, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Primary outcome measure: Angle-to-angle diameter (AAD) (at 0-180, 45-225, 90-270, 135-315), Anterior-chamber-angle (ACA) (at 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270 and 315) and central anterior chamber depth (ACD) at all visits.

Purpose: To assess intraoperative and postoperative graft thickness (GT) after donor deturgescence for ultrathin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty and to evaluate visual outcomes, endothelial cell density, and patient satisfaction at 1 year.

Methods: Prospective interventional case series of patients with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and cataract, and pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (n = 12 grafts). The donor cornea was allowed to thin out by simple evaporation on an artificial anterior chamber, to the required precut thickness, before a single microkeratome pass.
