Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy is characterized by corneal stromal edema with epithelial and subepithelial bullae due to cell loss and endothelial decompensation through trauma during cataract surgery. Patients present decreased vision, tearing, and pain caused by ruptured epithelial bullae. Cataract affects approximately 20 million people worldwide, and this complication can occur in 1 to 2% of the cataract surgeries. This study reviewed the bullous keratopathy etiopathogenesis and the clinical and surgical treatment available for this corneal disease.

A first-in-human clinical study of an allogenic iPSC-derived corneal endothelial cell substitute transplantation for bullous keratopathy.

A first-in-human investigator-initiated clinical study of a corneal endothelial cell substitute (CLS001) derived from a clinical-grade induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line shows improvement of visual acuity and corneal stromal edema, with no adverse events for up to 1 year after surgery for the treatment of bullous keratopathy. While preclinical tests, including multiple whole-genome analysis and tumorigenicity tests adhering to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) draft guidelines, are negative, an additional whole-genome analysis conducted on transplanted CLS001 cells reveals a de novo in-frame deletion of exon22 in the EP300 gene. No adverse events related to the mutation are observed.

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate risk factors for the development of cytomegalovirus (CMV) corneal endotheliitis following corneal transplantation.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed 1225 corneal transplants for bullous keratopathy between 2011 and 2021. 31 cases who were administered the treatment of CMV corneal endotheliitis preoperatively were excluded, and 1194 cases were analysed for risk factors for the development of CMV corneal endotheliitis following corneal transplantation.

Article Synopsis
- Over the past 40 years, around 40,000 Australians have undergone corneal transplants, primarily due to conditions like keratoconus and Fuchs' dystrophy, with increasing demand due to an aging population.
- The global shortage of donor corneas is significant, with demand exceeding supply by 70 times, particularly in less-developed countries, prompting advancements in tissue banking and surgical techniques.
- New strategies like organ culture for donor corneas, bespoke surgical methods, and cell culture technologies are improving tissue storage, reducing transplant requirements, and enhancing patient care for corneal conditions.

We present a case of a male patient in his mid-50s who presented with bullous keratopathy secondary to an anterior chamber intraocular lens, complicated by superimposed honeycomb keratopathy while on ripasudil 0.4%. The bullous keratopathy was characterised by generalised microcystic epithelial oedema, alongside more centrally located, variable-sized macrocystic epithelial oedema with a honeycomb appearance.

Background: Corneal pathologies are among the most common reversible sight-threatening diseases globally. As such, corneal tissue transplantation (keratoplasty) techniques are evolving over time depending on the prevalence of different pathologies in each geographical area. We aim to provide a baseline information on the common keratoplasty procedures performed in our area in relation to prevalent corneal pathologies and to analyze common corneal surgical practice trends in our area.
