Cataract Extraction and Toric Intraocular Lens Implantation for the Management of Pellucid Marginal Degeneration and Cataract

We report cataract surgery with toric intraocular lens implantation for the management of senile cataract combined with pellucid marginal degeneration. A 72-year-old man with bilateral senile cataract and significant against-the-rule astigmatism sought counseling for blurry vision and glare, mostly in the right eye. Based on ophthalmic examination and corneal topography, a diagnosis of pellucid...

Progression of pellucid marginal degeneration and higher-order wavefront aberration of the cornea.

PURPOSE To report the time course of changes in corneal wavefront aberrations in a patient with pellucid marginal degeneration. CASE A 59-year-old man with pellucid marginal degeneration was followed-up annually with slit-lamp microscopy and videokeratography for 11 years. The anterior corneal height data of the videokeratography were expanded into the set of orthogonal Zernike polynomials to...

Combined wedge resection and beveled penetrating relaxing incisions for the treatment of pellucid marginal corneal degeneration.

PURPOSE To evaluate a new surgical approach for the treatment of pellucid marginal corneal degeneration (PMCD). METHODS Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. Ten eyes of 10 consecutive patients were included in the series. Inclusion criteria were a clinical diagnosis of PMCD, topographic astigmatism >10 D, and contact lens intolerance. The patients underwent an inferior arc...

Corneal Hydrops in Pellucid Marginal Degeneration: A Case Series

PURPOSE To report an unusual presentation of pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) and its management by using air injection and tension sutures. CASE REPORT We report 2 cases with a history of acute pain and loss of vision. Examination revealed hydrops at the 6-9 o'clock meridian with Descemet's membrane detachment and tear at the same area and advanced PMD in the other eye. DISCUSSION Air ...
