A novel grading method for superficial punctate keratopathy magnitude and its correlation with corneal epithelial permeability.
OBJECTIVES To propose a novel grading method for superficial punctate keratopathy (SPK) magnitude and to examine the quantitativeness of the method. METHODS In 351 eyes diagnosed as having dry eye syndrome, SPK was graded as follows. After fluorescein staining, the total sum of the area of SPK was graded from A0 through A3, and the density was graded from D0 through D3. The grading was repres...
متن کاملEffects of diabetic keratopathy on corneal optical density, central corneal thickness, and corneal endothelial cell counts
Diabetic keratopathy is an ocular complication that occurs with diabetes. In the present study, the effect of diabetic keratopathy on corneal optical density, central corneal thickness, and corneal endothelial cell count was investigated. One hundred and eighty diabetic patients (360 eyes) were enrolled in the study during the period from March, 2012 to March, 2013. The patients were divided in...
متن کاملCorneal epithelial basement membrane changes in diabetes.
The corneas of 12 eye donors with maturity-onset diabetes were obtained, and the corneal epithelial basement membranes were studied by transmission electron microscopy. Similar tissue was obtained from 12 nondiabetic eye donors who were matched for age (within 2 years) and race. The mean thickness of the corneal epithelial basement membrane in nondiabetic patients was 0.33 micrometer (+/- 0.11 ...
متن کاملCorneal collagen cross-linking in bullous keratopathy.
To the Editor: In their article, which was published in the September 2008 issue of the Journal of Refractive Surgery, Krueger et al1 detailed their use of an adapted version of Wollensak et al’s2 corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) therapy to treat a patient with bullous keratopathy. Although the patient’s symptoms appeared much improved at 6-month follow-up, the safety of such a treatment, i...
متن کاملPathologic epithelial and anterior corneal nerve morphology in early-stage congenital aniridic keratopathy.
OBJECTIVE To document the clinical and morphologic corneal findings in the early stages of congenital aniridic keratopathy in Swedish families. DESIGN Prospective, observational, comparative case series. PARTICIPANTS A total of 16 eyes of 16 subjects with congenital aniridic keratopathy and a clear central cornea, and 6 eyes from 6 healthy controls (unaffected relatives). Nine of the 16 eye...
