Eye Lens Radiation Exposure in Greek Interventional Cardiology Article.

The lens of the eye is one of the radiosensitive tissues of the human body; if exposed to ionizing radiation can develop radiation-induced cataract at early ages. This study was held in Greece and included 44 Interventional Cardiologists (ICs) and an unexposed to radiation control group of 22 persons. Of the note, 26 ICs and the unexposed individuals underwent special eye examinations.

Retrephination of eccentric donor graft for descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.

We describe a technique of intraoperative eccentric retrephination of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) donor graft to avoid the presence of epithelium on the graft lenticule. Trephination of the DSAEK graft may prove to be very challenging for surgeons, especially when flap diameter is small; this can result in an eccentric trephination and the presence of epithelium on the graft. Insertion of epithelium with DSAEK donor graft into the anterior chamber could result in epithelial ingrowth and downgrowth, complications that may lead to poor visual outcomes, graft detachment, and anterior chamber angle closure.

Spontaneous closure of lamellar macular holes studied by optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To document and study the spontaneous closure of lamellar macular holes (LMH) by optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: Two women with LMH, 62 and 71 years old, respectively, were followed up with fundoscopy, fundus photography and OCT.

Results: In both patients spontaneous closure of LMH was observed 11 and 21 months after baseline examination, respectively.
