collagen cross - linking for Pellucid Marginal degeneration
Pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) is a rare progressive condition resulting in inferior corneal thinning and astigmatism. Alongside keratoconus and keratoglobus, it is considered one of noninflammatory corneal ectasias. The focus of corneal thinning is greatest inferiorly resulting in diminished visual acuity and overall reduction in visual quality. Traditional methods of treatment or diseas...
متن کاملCollagen cross-linking in the treatment of pellucid marginal degeneration
Pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) is an uncommon cause of inferior peripheral corneal thinning disorder, characterized by irregular astigmatism. We analyzed a case of bilateral PMD patient and treated one eye with corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) therapy. Corneal topography was characteristic for PMD. Visual acuity, slitlamp examinations, tonometry, and corneal thickness were observed. S...
متن کاملIntacs for early pellucid marginal degeneration.
A 42-year-old man had Intacs (Addition Technology Inc.) implantation for early pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD). Two Intacs segments (0.45 mm thickness) were inserted uneventfully in the fashion typically used for low myopia correction (nasal-temporal). Eleven months after the procedure, the uncorrected visual acuity was 20/200, compared with counting fingers preoperatively, while the best ...
متن کاملCorneal Collagen Cross-Linking in Pellucid Marginal Degeneration: 2 Patients, 4 Eyes
Purpose. To report the long-term results of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) with riboflavin and ultraviolet-A irradiation in 4 eyes of 2 patients affected by pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD). Methods. This study involved the retrospective analysis of 4 eyes of 2 patients with PMD that underwent CXL treatment. Of the eyes, three had only CXL treatment and one had CXL treatment after an ...
متن کاملManagement of pellucid marginal corneal degeneration with simultaneous customized photorefractive keratectomy and collagen crosslinking.
A 34-year-old woman had simultaneous photorefractive keratectomy and corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin-ultraviolet-A irradiation for the treatment of progressive pellucid marginal corneal degeneration in both eyes. No intraoperative or early postoperative complications occurred. Twelve months postoperatively, the uncorrected visual acuity was assessed at 20/40 in both eyes compared ...
