Management of acute corneal hydrops - Current perspectives.
Indian J Ophthalmol
April 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, RP Centre of Ophthalmic Sciences, AIIMS, New Delhi, India.
Acute corneal hydrops (ACH) is a rare but sight-threatening complication of corneal ectasias. We aim to review the current literature on etiopathogenesis, histology, role of ancillary investigations, management, and outcomes of ACH by classifying the various management strategies based on their site of action and the underlying mechanism. A review of the literature was conducted by searching the following databases: PubMed (United States National Library of Medicine), Embase (Reed Elsevier Properties SA), Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), and Scopus (Elsevier BV) till April 2023.

Article Synopsis
- The report highlights three cases of acute corneal edema that emerged decades after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in patients with keratoconus who were wearing scleral contact lenses (ScCLs).
- A retrospective review examined symptoms, medical history, and testing results of the patients experiencing sudden eye pain and vision loss after refitting into ScCLs.
- The findings indicate a possible link between the refitting of ScCLs and the development of acute hydrops in previously stable corneal grafts, raising awareness about the risks involved in such lens fittings.

Lack of association between keratoconus, mitral valve prolapse, and joint hypermobility.
Ophthalmology
February 1991
Emory University School of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Atlanta.
The authors enrolled 95 patients with keratoconus and 96 matched controls in a cross-sectional study to determine if mitral valve prolapse and hypermobile joints occur with greater frequency in individuals with keratoconus than in individuals without keratoconus. The hypothesis that keratoconus may not be a distinct eye disease, but a nonspecific sign representing a more generalized systemic disorder, possibly a mild collagen tissue abnormality, was considered. M-mode and two dimensional echocardiography and cardiac auscultation detected no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of mitral valve prolapse in patients with keratoconus compared with controls.
