Purpose: To analyze central corneal in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) in Terrien marginal degeneration (TMD).
Methods: An observational prospective case-control study. Ten Finnish patients with TMD from a tertiary referral center were compared with 10 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze corneal topography related to astigmatism and corneal curvatures in patients with Terrien marginal degeneration using advanced imaging techniques.
- Twenty-nine eyes from 15 Finnish patients were classified into four corneal topographic patterns: crab claw, mixed, arcuate, and normal, with observations made on progression and various corneal metrics.
- The results indicated that corneal topographic patterns differ significantly, with CC and M patterns showing more rapid progression and specific aberrations, suggesting these patients may need closer monitoring compared to others.
Purpose: To refine the diagnostic criteria for Terrien marginal degeneration (TMD) based on experience in 3 Nordic countries.
Methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter, hospital-based cross-sectional study of 49 eyes of 29 white patients in tertiary referral centers in Finland, Sweden, and Denmark from 1998 to January 2018. The median follow-up was 3 years.
Purpose: To assess the effect of elevated core body temperature on temporal and spatial contrast sensitivity and retinal vessel diameters.
Methods: The study included 13 healthy volunteers aged 20-37 years. Core body temperature elevation (target +1.
