Purpose: Irregular corneal epithelium in limbal stem cell disease can cause visual acuity to deteriorate substantially when it reaches the pupil. In this case series, we assessed the effectiveness of simple corneal epithelial superficial keratectomy in improving visual acuity in patients with irregular corneal epithelium in focal limbal stem cell disease covering the visual axis.

Observations: We performed simple corneal epithelial superficial keratectomy in four patients (five eyes) with irregular corneal epithelium covering the visual axis.

Severe fishhook-related ocular injury: A case series.

Unlabelled: This study examined the treatment, clinical course, and prognosis of two patients who visited our institution with severe ocular fishhook-related injuries with complications. The first patient was a 57-year-old man injured in the right eye by a fishhook lacerating the right upper eyelid. Although no aqueous humor leakage was observed, intraocular hemorrhage was severe, and the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was "counting fingers" at 15 cm.

Comparison of efficacy and safety of accelerated trans-epithelial crosslinking for keratoconus patients with corneas thicker and thinner than 380μm.

Purpose: Accelerated trans-epithelial cross-linking (ATE-CXL), a therapy to halt keratoconus progression, has the merit of widening the indications for thinner corneas (<380 μm). Since a hypotonic solution affects the swollen cornea, corneas of <380 μm thickness at preoperative measurement can be an indication for ATE-CXL. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the efficacy and safety of ATE-CXL for keratoconus between corneas with thicknesses <380 μm and ≥380 μm.
