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 کاملCataract 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...

The initial management with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive and bandage contact lens did not preclude aqueous leakage the next day. Amniotic membrane grafting using both a surgical graft and a bandage patch was thus performed in the operating ...
