Four patients developed progressive corneal opacification five to eight months after ultrasonic cataract extraction. Transmission electron microscopy was performed in all patients. Scanning electron microscopy, performed in only one patient, showed radiating folds of Descemet's membrane with pits on its posterior surface as well as focal traumatic disruption probably caused by probe contact. Bullous keratopathy was present in one patient. Two other patients had folds of Descemet's membrane and a thin retrocorneal fibrous layer. All four tumor specimens showed secondary epithelial and stromal changes. The common denominator was the total or partial absence of endothelium or marked alterations of its remnants.

Long-term observation of the in vivo safety of a new design of phakic refractive lens.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Fudan University Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital, Shanghai, China.
Background: To evaluate the biosafety, reduction in anterior capsule opacification, and fluctuation in intraocular pressure (IOP) of a new phakic refractive lens (PRL) with a sinusoidal drainage groove design.
Methods: This self-controlled experiment was performed on eight eyes of four rabbits. Each rabbit was implanted with a sinusoidal PRL (PRL-S5) in the right eye and a conventional posterior chamber PRL (PC-PRL) in the left eye.

Purpose: To report the clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of nodulo-ulcerative ocular surface squamous neoplasia (nuOSSN).
Methods: Retrospective interventional clinical cohort study of 27 patients from a quaternary ocular oncology center.
Results: Twenty-seven patients were diagnosed with nuOSSN during the six-year study period.
Efficacy of Sutureless Scleral Fixation of One-Piece T-Shaped Haptic Intraocular Lens in Maintaining Anterior Chamber Stability During Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty in Vitrectomized Eyes: Leak Test and Iris Diaphragm Reconstruction.

Eye Unit, Department of Medical and Surgical Specialties, Radiological Sciences, and Public Health, University of Brescia, Viale Europa 15, 25123 Brescia, Italy.
: This study aimed to describe the outcomes of a staged procedure combining Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and sutureless scleral fixation (SSF) of a one-piece intraocular lens (IOL) in a case series. Co-performing endothelial keratoplasty (EK) and SSF is associated with intraoperative and postoperative complications such as graft deployment difficulties, air migration, graft detachment, and IOL opacification or tilt, all of which are evaluated in this study. This is a retrospective observational case series.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Paulista School of Medicine, Federal University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Purpose: This is a case report of a 31-year-old male patient presenting progressive and markedly asymmetric keratoconus treated with sequential intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation followed by accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL).
Observations: The follow-up after the last procedure revealed a thin, opacified cornea with an unexpected massive flattening of up to 20.3 D.

Background: The loss of corneal epithelial stem cells from the limbus at the edge of the cornea has severe consequences for vision, with the pathological manifestations of a limbal stem-cell deficiency (LSCD) difficult to treat. Here, to the best of our knowledge, we report the world's first use of corneal epithelial cell sheets derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to treat LSCD.
Methods: This non-randomised, single-arm, clinical study involved four eyes of four patients with LSCD at the Department of Ophthalmology, Osaka University Hospital.
