Viscoelastic-Induced Interlamellar Stromal Keratopathy (VISK) during Cataract Surgery in a Patient with a History of Laser in situ Keratomileusis.

A 47-year-old patient status post uncomplicated bilateral LASIK treatment presented with interlamellar stromal keratopathy induced by viscoelastic material during cataract surgery, decreasing her vision to CF (count fingers) postoperatively. After recognition, the viscoelastic material was removed by interface irrigation. The keratopathy improved by postoperative day 1 and resolved by 6 weeks with best-corrected visual acuity being 20/30.

Identification of the First De Novo UBIAD1 Gene Mutation Associated with Schnyder Corneal Dystrophy.

Purpose. To report the identification of the first de novo UBIAD1 missense mutation in an individual with Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD). Methods.

Long-Term Outcomes of Epithelial Debridement and Diamond Burr Polishing for Corneal Epithelial Irregularity and Recurrent Corneal Erosion.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of epithelial debridement and diamond burr polishing (ED + DBP) in managing recurrent corneal erosion (RCE) and visually significant epithelial irregularity associated with epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (VS-EBMD).

Methods: Retrospective, interventional, consecutive case series of all ED + DBP procedures performed between December 1, 2002, and December 1, 2014.

Results: ED + DBP was performed in 91 eyes (66 patients) for the management of RCE and VS-EBMD.

Comparison of ACIOL Retention With IOL Exchange in Patients Undergoing Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty.

Purpose: To investigate clinical outcomes in the management of anterior chamber intraocular lenses (ACIOLs) in patients requiring Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) for pseudophakic corneal edema.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of DSAEK procedures performed at a single center between May 1, 2006, and August 1, 2014.

Results: Forty-three eyes (41 patients) with pseudophakic corneal edema and an ACIOL were identified.

Complications related to a cosmetic eye-whitening procedure.

Purpose: To report sight-threatening complications following extensive bulbar conjunctival resection and postoperative mitomycin C therapy for cosmetic eye-whitening in the United States.

Design: Retrospective noncomparative case series.

Methods: Multicenter report of 9 patients referred for evaluation and management of complications following bilateral cosmetic eye whitening.

Epithelial debridement and Bowman's layer polishing for visually significant epithelial irregularity and recurrent corneal erosions.

Purpose: To report the utility of epithelial debridement and diamond burr polishing of Bowman's layer (ED + DBP) in the management of recurrent corneal erosions and visually significant epithelial irregularity associated with epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD).

Design: Retrospective interventional consecutive case series.

Participants: All patients who underwent ED + DBP by a single surgeon between November 1, 2002 and November 1, 2008.

Exclusion of positional candidate gene coding region mutations in the common posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy 1 candidate gene interval.

Purpose: Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD) is an autosomal-dominant disorder of the corneal endothelium associated with visually significant corneal edema and glaucoma. Statistical genetic analysis of 4 families with PPCD has demonstrated linkage to a 2.4 cM common support interval on chromosome 20 bordered by the markers D20S182 and D20S139.

The Boston type I keratoprosthesis: improving outcomes and expanding indications.

Purpose: To report the usefulness of the Boston type I keratoprosthesis (Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Boston, MA) in the management of corneal opacification, corneal limbal stem cell failure, or both in a large single-surgeon series.

Design: Retrospective review of consecutive clinical case series.

Participants: All patients undergoing keratoprosthesis implantation by a single surgeon (AJA) between May 1, 2004, and May 31, 2008.
