Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated long-term effects of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) on 131 patients with progressive keratoconus from 2006 to 2016, focusing on visual acuity and corneal measurements over time.
- Results showed that while corrected visual acuity improved, the effectiveness of CXL diminished after 5 years, with an increase in non-responders, particularly among patients with certain risk factors like young age and high astigmatism.
- The researchers concluded that CXL is effective in slowing keratoconus progression and suggested that patients displaying risk factors may need re-treatment after several years.
We present a case of keratitis nine months after Descement's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in a patient with Fuchs endothelial disease. Endothelial scraping revealed this rare yeast infection at the interface between graft and host cornea. Immediate antifungal treatment with intracameral and corneal intrastromal injections of voriconazole and amphotericin B remained unsuccessful, requiring penetrating keratoplasty.
