Dry Eye Disease Incidence Associated with Chronic Graft-Host Disease: Nonconcurrent Cohort Study (An American Ophthalmological Society Thesis).

Purpose: To determine if chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with stable or progressive dry eye disease and to determine the true incidence in patients with no prior history of dry eye disease.

Methods: A nonconcurrent cohort study at a single institution with 136 patients who had no previous history of dry eye disease before HSCT. Survival analysis was used to estimate dry eye disease incidence.

Outcomes of cataract surgery in graft-versus-host disease.

Purpose: To study the outcomes of cataract surgery in patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Methods: Retrospective review of 72 eyes of 41 patients (age, 17-69 years at the time of surgery) with chronic GVHD after HSCT, who underwent cataract surgery between 2008 and 2012 at the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, W. K.

Outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with previous herpes zoster ophthalmicus.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with previous herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO).

Setting: Kellogg Eye Center, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Anterior chamber gas bubbles during femtosecond laser flap creation in LASIK: video evidence of entry via trabecular meshwork.

Unlabelled: Femtosecond laser photodisruption of corneal stroma during laser in situ keratomileusis flap creation is accompanied by the formation of cavitation gas bubbles consisting of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Entry of these bubbles into the anterior chamber is an infrequent complication. We present video evidence that these bubbles enter via the trabecular meshwork.
