متن کاملInvestigation of corneal topography after deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty.
PURPOSE To analyze the 6-month anterior and posterior topographic changes of the cornea after deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty. METHODS Orbscan topographies of 22 eyes from 21 patients with corneal decompensation were retrospectively analyzed: 11 eyes received a 9-mm scleral access incision (large-incision group) and 11 eyes received a 5-mm scleral access incision (small-incision group)...
متن کاملVisual Outcomes Following Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty in Granular Corneal Dystrophy Types 1 and 2
Dear Editor, The phenotypic appearance of granular corneal dystrophy (GCD) type 1 and GCD type 2 (also known as Avellino corneal dystrophy) changes with age, but is believed to also be influenced by trauma or intervening surgical procedures [1-3]. This report presents two cases of GCD, with varied manifestations before and after surgical intervention. Incidentally, Lee et al. [4] noted high pre...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Failure of Keratoplasty in Keratoconus: Penetrating vs. Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Purpose: To determine the etiologic factors on rejection and failure rates and ocular surface changes after corneal transplantation by either DALK or PKP, in cases of keratoconus (KCN). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, considering the existing data, patients with keratoconus referring to Labbafinejad Medical Center from 2006 to 2016, who underwent corneal transplantation, were enrolled a...
