Purpose: The aim of this study was to report on the occurrence of corneal guttae after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).
Methods: In this retrospective case series, 13 eyes of 13 patients who underwent DMEK at 2 tertiary referral centers between 2007 and 2021 (average available follow-up 73 ± 52 months, range 18-174 months) and showed corneal guttae during postoperative examinations were included. Eye bank images were retrospectively reviewed.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe a case with recurrent corneal erosions who was treated with a Bowman layer (BL) onlay graft.
Method: BL onlay transplantation was performed.
Results: In a 79-year-old female patient who presented with bilateral map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy and a history of recurrent painful corneal erosions, BL onlay grafting was performed to restore the corneal surface.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe a new type of medical device that allows for internet-enabled patient self-screening, without the aid of an ophthalmic professional, through biomicroscopy self-imaging and self-measurement of the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
Methods: In this prospective nonrandomized comparative study, 56 patients were instructed to screen their own eyes using a custom-built e-Device containing miniaturized slitlamp optics and a visual acuity Snellen chart virtually projected at 20 ft. BCVA measurements were recorded, and biomicroscopic videos were scored for image quality of the anterior segment status on a scale from 1 to 5 (1 = poor and 5 = excellent) by a blinded observer.
