Corneal donor tissue preparation for Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty.
Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is a form of corneal transplantation in which only a single cell layer, the corneal endothelium, along with its basement membrane (Descemet's membrane) is introduced onto the recipient's posterior stroma(3). Unlike Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK), where additional donor stroma is introduced, no unnatural stroma-...
متن کاملDescemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty for corneal decompensation due to iridoschisis
Purpose To report a case of bilateral iridoschisis with cataracts and corneal decompensation in a patient who underwent cataract extraction and superficial iridectomy followed by Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Observations A 58-year-old man with previously diagnosed iridoschisis, cataracts, and diabetes mellitus experienced progressive vision loss bilaterally due to cornea...
متن کاملSilk Fibroin Films for Corneal Endothelial Regeneration: Transplant in a Rabbit Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty.
Purpose Develop a silk fibroin (SF)-based artificial endothelial graft for its use in a rabbit Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Methods Human and rabbit artificial corneal endothelial grafts were developed through the culture of human and rabbit corneal endothelial cells (CECs) on SF films. Rabbit artificial SF endothelial grafts were transplanted in a DMEK surgery into a ra...
متن کاملAcute corneal hydrops in keratoconus
Acute corneal hydrops is a condition characterized by stromal edema due to leakage of aqueous through a tear in descemet membrane. The patient presents with sudden onset decrease in vision, photophobia, and pain. Corneal thinning and ectasias combined with trivial trauma to the eye mostly by eye rubbing is considered as the underlying cause. With conservative approach self-resolution takes arou...
متن کاملCorneal Donor Tissue Preparation for Endothelial Keratoplasty
Over the past ten years, corneal transplantation surgical techniques have undergone revolutionary changes. Since its inception, traditional full thickness corneal transplantation has been the treatment to restore sight in those limited by corneal disease. Some disadvantages to this approach include a high degree of post-operative astigmatism, lack of predictable refractive outcome, and disturba...
