Combined Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid Chelation, Phototherapeutic Keratectomy and Amniotic Membrane Transplantation for Treatment of Band Keratopathy
PURPOSE The objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) chelation and excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) combined with amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) for the treatment of band keratopathy (BK). METHODS Eleven eyes in ten patients with BK received combined PTK (ablation zone of central 7.0-7.5 mm, depth of 50 ...
متن کاملMicrohook ab interno trabeculotomy, a novel minimally invasive glaucoma surgery
Trabeculotomy (LOT) is performed to reduce the intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma, both in children and adults. It relieves the resistance to aqueous flow by cleaving the trabecular meshwork and the inner walls of Schlemm's canal. Microhook ab interno LOT (µLOT), a novel minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, incises trabecular meshwork using small hooks that are inserted through corn...
متن کاملTwo percent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid chelation treatment for band-shaped keratopathy, without blunt scratching after removal of the corneal epithelium
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of 2% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for the treatment of band-shaped keratopathy. METHODS We studied 24 eyes of 16 patients with band-shaped keratopathy who underwent EDTA chelation treatment from April 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012. We compared preoperative and 1 month postoperative logarithm of the minimum angle of...
متن کاملAb interno trabeculectomy: development of a novel device (Trabectome) and surgery for open-angle glaucoma.
PURPOSE To design an instrument to selectively remove trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal inner wall (SCIW), and demonstrate its effectiveness by histologic analysis of treated cadaveric human tissue. METHODS The design parameters of the instrument were the ability to permanently remove a segment of trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal inner wall without causing damage to surrounding t...
متن کاملComparison of intraocular pressure fluctuations before and after ab interno trabeculectomy in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma patients
PURPOSE Ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT) with the Trabectome has been shown to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) glaucoma. Here, we examined the change of IOP fluctuations before and after only AIT or AIT with cataract surgery in PEX patients using the contact lens sensor Triggerfish®. METHODS This was a prospective open-label study. Twenty-four consecutive...
