[Pellucid marginal degeneration: diagnosis and treatment].
Pellucid marginal degeneration is characterized by a progressive stromal thinning of the inferior corneal segment, between 4 and 8 o'clock, with a crescentic shape. The area of corneal thinning has a width of about 1 to 2 mm, and it is separated from the corneoscleral limbus by an area of normal corneal tissue. The initial treatment consists of optical correction. However, when the disease prog...
متن کاملFull-Ring Intracorneal Implantation in Corneas With Pellucid Marginal Degeneration
BACKGROUND Keratoconus (KCN) is a progressive, non-inflammatory ectacic disorder characterized by bilateral and asymmetrical conical protrusion of the cornea. MyoRing implantation and Collagen Crosslink (CXL) are two separate effective treatments for all stages of keratoconous. This study wants to show the effect of these treatments combination in patients with moderate and severe keratoconus. ...
متن کاملIntacs for early pellucid marginal degeneration.
A 42-year-old man had Intacs (Addition Technology Inc.) implantation for early pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD). Two Intacs segments (0.45 mm thickness) were inserted uneventfully in the fashion typically used for low myopia correction (nasal-temporal). Eleven months after the procedure, the uncorrected visual acuity was 20/200, compared with counting fingers preoperatively, while the best ...
متن کاملcollagen cross - linking for Pellucid Marginal degeneration
Pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) is a rare progressive condition resulting in inferior corneal thinning and astigmatism. Alongside keratoconus and keratoglobus, it is considered one of noninflammatory corneal ectasias. The focus of corneal thinning is greatest inferiorly resulting in diminished visual acuity and overall reduction in visual quality. Traditional methods of treatment or diseas...
