Introduction: Cataracta is the more common surgical diesease of the eye. The removal of the cataract is done my phacoemulsification.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of phacoemulsifcation on the cornea.
Material And Method: We have studied 80 patients with cataract that underwent cataract surgery by phacoemulsification. We measured the corneal thickness and the number of endothelial cell before and after the surgery. REZULTS AND DISCUSSIONS: Corneal thickness grew with 3% and the number of endothelial cells decresed with 13%.
Conclusions: Phacoemulsification with the use of vascoelastic substancees is a very safe method of lens extraction

Graft-repositioning technique using infusion and small bubbles during Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Department of Visual Sciences, Nihon University School of Medicine, Itabashi, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a highly effective procedure for corneal endothelial dysfunction; however, once a DMEK graft is deployed, repositioning can be challenging. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a technique that utilizes infusion and small air bubbles to reposition a misaligned deployed graft.
Methods: This retrospective interventional case series enrolled patients who underwent DMEK between January 2022 and July 2023, including cases where the DMEK graft was attached and unfolded in off-center positions".
Diagnostic performance of corneal epithelium- and Bowman's layer thickness mapping in patients with unilateral Keratoconus.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Purpose: To investigate the role of corneal epithelium- and Bowman's layer-thickness (ET and BLT) changes as possible early biomarkers of keratoconus (KC) development.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study patients with unilateral KC (UKC) and a group of healthy controls underwent polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) for the evaluation of corneal ET and BLT. These values were compared among three subgroups of eyes, i.
Background: Orthokeratology (OK) contact lenses are increasingly prescribed for myopia control but their impact on corneal epithelial immune cells (CEIC) is unclear. This study compares CEIC in OK wearers to soft contact lens (SCL) wearers and non-wearers.
Methods: In vivo confocal microscope images at the corneal central and mid-peripheral subbasal level were evaluated in 18 OK wearers, 18 SCL wearers and 18 non-wearers (mean age 27.

Neurotrophic keratopathy is a degenerative disease caused by corneal nerve damage, leading to corneal ulceration. Recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) was approved for neurotrophic keratitis therapy; however, the excipients of the eye drops are not optimized for its controlled release. To this aim, we introduce the hypotonic hydrogel PF127 as an excipient for rhNGF in eye drops.
