Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the biometric traits of the anterior chamber in patients with significant endothelial cell loss (ECL) who needed phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) explantation compared to those who did not.
- Conducted retroactively in Lima, Peru, the research included patients who received pIOLs from 2001 to 2012, assessing various eye health metrics like endothelial cell count and optical coherence tomography.
- Results revealed that patients in the explanted group experienced a higher annual percentage of ECL and lower minimum endothelial lens distance, indicating that both annual ECL rates and minimum distances can reliably differentiate between the two patient groups.
Objective: To determine the advantages and complication rate of capsulotomy performed with femtosecond laser in white complex cataract cases.
Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Participants: Sixteen eyes of 16 patients.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the visual, pachymetric, tomographic, and biomicroscopic findings in a series of cases with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap interface fluid syndrome (IFS) after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).
Methods: Six cases were included in this study; all patients had a history of LASIK and underwent DMEK for the treatment of bullous keratopathy. After uneventful surgery, all patients presented with corneal edema and IFS under the LASIK flap, which was demonstrated with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Dry eye has two basic subdivisions: aqueous deficient dry eye (ADDE), with SS a major cause; and evaporative dry eye (EDE), due to either intrinsic or extrinsic factors. SS is a chronic inflammatory disorder defined by dysfunction of the exocrine glands leading to dry eye and dry mouth. The objective of this article was to carry out a systematic and critical review of several scientific publications on dry eye disease, with the aim of providing general recommendations to distinguish dry eye and its different variants in patients with SS, during the period 1979 to 2020, using search engines for articles indexed in Scopus, Latindex, Scielo, Clinical Trials, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane, allowing the analysis of 132 articles published in indexed journals on the subject of dry eye disease and SS, evidencing its conceptualization, prevalence, risk factors, etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment.

Case Description: A 58-year-old man presented with graft rejection in his three-month-old, repeat penetrating keratoplasty. Examination revealed centripetal opacification of the posterior cornea due to deep epithelization.
