Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the endothelial cell density (ECD) measurements between eye banks (EBs) and a reading center as part of the Cornea Preservation Time Study.
- Results showed that EBs typically recorded a higher mean preoperative ECD by 15 cells/mm compared to the reading center, with noticeable variability in individual measurements.
- Agreement between the two methods improved when analyzing more than 100 cells, indicating more consistent results with larger sample sizes.
Purpose: To identify factors related to graft rejection following Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in the Cornea Preservation Time Study (CPTS).
Design: Cohort study within a multicenter randomized clinical trial.
Methods: A total of 1330 eyes of 1090 subjects undergoing DSAEK were randomized to receive a donor cornea with preservation time (PT) of 0-7 days (n = 675) or 8-14 days (n = 655) and followed for 3 years.
Purpose Of Review: To evaluate and summarize literature from the past 18 months reporting advancements and issues in astigmatism assessment prior to cataract surgery.
Recent Findings: New and updated toric calculators and regression formulas offer the opportunity for more accurate lens selection for our patients. Concurrently, improvements in topographic evaluation of corneal keratometry have allowed for a decrease in unplanned residual corneal astigmatism.
Purpose: Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is a developmental ocular malformation often associated with additional ocular abnormalities. This study involved a novel mouse model of PHPV, generated by a null mutation of the Ski proto-oncogene, that displays other anterior segment and retinal malformations often found in human cases of PHPV.
Methods: Morphologic and histologic analyses of Ski-/- mice were used to document ocular abnormalities in comparison to those of normal littermates.
Purpose: To determine the mechanism through which topical mitomycin C prevents and treats corneal haze after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and to examine the effects of dosage and duration of exposure.
Methods: In 224 New Zealand rabbits, -9.0 diopter PRK with mitomycin C or balanced salt solution was performed.
The purpose of this article was to study the prevalence of strabismus and astigmatism in children with nonsyndromic plagiocephaly. Children with deformational plagiocephaly do not have an increased prevalence of strabismus compared with the general population but do have an increased prevalence of astigmatism, whereas children with nonsyndromic craniosynostotic plagiocephaly have an increased prevalence of strabismus and astigmatism. This observational cohort study retrospectively reviewed patients in a multidisciplinary craniofacial clinic between 1993 and 2001.
