Mastering the infant donor eye: a new device for obtaining corneoscleral buttons for storage and corneal discs for keratoplasty.
The design and use of a new device for obtaining corneoscleral buttons for storage and corneal discs for keratoplasty from neonatal and adult donor eyes is described. The device is simple to use and eliminates most of the difficulties in handling infant donor eyes. It thus minimises the risk of damage to the corneal endothelium and the formation of stretch striae, which reduce the quality of th...
متن کاملImproved stand for the donor eye for corneal grafting.
A STAND, developed at this hospital, for holding the donor eye while a corneal graft is trephined and dissected is particularly useful for lamellar, annular, or segmental grafts, especially where direct sutures are used (Fig. 1). Essentially this is a modified Tudor-Thomas stand, so designed as to rotate on a plinth carrying a spring-loaded metal ball (Fig. 2A), which engages consecutively into...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new system for obtaining donor lamellar grafts.
PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of a new system for obtaining corneal lamellar grafts of preset sizes. The system consists of the combination of an artificial anterior chamber (MALKS) and an automated microkeratotome (MASYK). METHODS A prospective study was performed. Lamellar tissue was obtained with the microkeratotome from 40 human corneoscleral buttons mounted in the artificial anteri...

1337 although the scientific evidence is inconclusive. Problems associated with prophylactic antibiotics include selection of more resistant organisms, the development of resistant bacteria, allergic reactions, and expense. Most surgeons who give preoperative antibiotics use a broad-spectrum, relatively nonsensitizing drug for 1–3 days before surgery. The most common source of endophthalmitis i...
متن کاملStorage of corneal donor material.
Mueller comments on the histochemical tests on the endothelium of stored human cornea. These tests showed severe endothelial changes in contrast to the good results obtained when grafting such material. He describes the technique used for assessing endothelial viability, a technique almost identical to that used by O'Neill, Mueller, and Trevor-Roper in earlier experiments (Brit. _X. Ophthal., I...
