Purpose: To evaluate the changes in corneal biomechanical properties and tear film layer analysis after upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery.
Method: Sixty eyes of 30 patients were included in our prospective study. Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), corneal compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) and Goldmann intraocular pressure (IOPg) measurements were taken with the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) device at the preoperative, postoperative 1st and 3rd months.
Purpose: The current study is aimed to present the long-term results of the patients who underwent conjunctivolimbal autograft (CLAU) as the primary operation in unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency and the ocular surface safety of the donor eyes. The patients were followed up for five years or longer.
Methods: The records of all patients who underwent CLAU as the primary operation were retrospectively analyzed.
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of single-dose autologous serum eye drops (ASEDs) for treatment of persistent corneal epithelial defects (PEDs).
Methods: About 34 eyes of 26 patients treated from March 2016 to May 2020 with a single dose of ASEDs for PEDs that did not respond to conventional treatment were retrospectively evaluated. Patient demographics, predisposing factors, size, and duration of the PED, duration of treatment, and dosage of ASEDs, PED healing time, success rate of the ASED treatment, and follow-up time after the onset of ASED treatment were recorded.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the use of donor corneal grafts for repairing scleral surface problems in patients whose corneal tissues were not suitable for traditional keratoplasty or were leftover from such surgeries.
- Retrospective analysis of 16 patients showed various indications for corneal grafts, including trauma, glaucoma surgeries, and implant erosions, with a mean follow-up of 14 months and no reported complications.
- The results indicate that using these donor grafts effectively restores the ocular surface and improves cosmetic appearance in patients with scleral tissue loss, prompting further investigation into their long-term efficacy and safety.
Corneal Pathology and Cataract: Combined Surgery or Sequential Surgery?

February 2021
Objectives: To compare our combined surgery (CS) and sequential surgery (SS) results.
Materials And Methods: The files of 44 patients who underwent CS (penetrating keratoplasty [PK], cataract extraction, and intraocular lens [IOL] implantation) and 126 patients who underwent SS (cataract extraction and IOL implantation in a second session after PK) between January 2009 and December 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. One eye of the patients who were followed up for at least 1 year was included in the study.
