Customized pachymetric guided epithelial debridement for corneal collagen cross linking
BACKGROUND We describe a modified method for deepitheliazation prior to corneal cross linking (CXL). The technique may overcome the current corneal pachymetric limitation parameter (over 400 microns) that is necessary for the safety of the procedure without affecting the overall benefits. METHODS In a series of two patients, with inferior topographic steepening and regional thinning (less tha...
متن کاملRestoration of the rabbit corneal surface after total epithelial debridement and complete limbal excision
How is the corneal epithelium restored when all of it plus the limbus have been eliminated? This investigation explored the possibility that this may be achieved through the conjunctival epithelium. The corneal epithelium of the right eye of 12 rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was totally scraped followed by surgical excision of the limbus plus 1.0-1.5 mm of the adjacent conjunctiva. Antibiotics...
متن کاملEffect of complete epithelial debridement before riboflavin-ultraviolet-A corneal collagen crosslinking therapy.
PURPOSE To evaluate the importance of complete epithelial removal before riboflavin-ultraviolet-A (UVA) corneal collagen crosslinking therapy. SETTING School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, Cardiff University, Wales, United Kingdom. METHODS Riboflavin eyedrops were applied at 5-minute intervals for 35 minutes to the anterior corneal surface of 36 porcine eyes (12 with no epithelial trauma...
متن کاملEfficacy of cultivated corneal epithelial stem cells for ocular surface reconstruction
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical outcomes of cultivated corneal limbal epithelial transplantation (CLET) using human amniotic membrane for corneal limbal stem-cell deficiency. METHODS Prospective, noncomparative case series. Eighteen patients (19 eyes) with severe ocular surface diseases were chosen to undergo CLET using human amniotic membrane. Twelve eyes received auto-CLET, and seven ey...
