Outcome of Two Corneal Collagen Crosslinking Methods in Bullous Keratopathy due to Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy
Four eyes of 2 patients with corneal edema due to Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy were treated with CXL using the standard protocol. Since no improvement in visual acuity, corneal clarity, thickness, or pain sensation was evident in any eye at month 12, 2 eyes of the 2 patients were retreated, this time, following intraoperative corneal dehydration with glycerol 70% drops. This retreatment also fa...
متن کاملFamilial presence of early onset Fuchs' corneal endothelial dystrophy, a report of two rare cases.
A 15-year-old girl presented to our clinic with a history of gradual loss of vision and photosensitivity. She had bilateral corneal haze with stromal oedema. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/400 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left. She underwent penetrating keratoplasty in both eyes. Corneal histopathology revealed a pattern similar to Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy. The graft settled ...
متن کاملFirst Identification of a Triple Corneal Dystrophy Association: Keratoconus, Epithelial Basement Membrane Corneal Dystrophy and Fuchs’ Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
PURPOSE To report the observation of a triple corneal dystrophy association consisting of keratoconus (KC), epithelial basement membrane corneal dystrophy (EBMCD) and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). METHODS A 55-year-old male patient was referred to our cornea service for blurred vision and recurrent foreign body sensation. He reported bilateral recurrent corneal erosions with di...
متن کاملCorneal hydration control in Fuchs' dystrophy.
Corneal hydration control was tested in 22 patients with Fuchs' dystrophy, and eight subjects of similar age without the disease, by measuring the corneal thickness recovery from swelling induced by hypoxia or following overnight sleep. Measurement precision was enhanced by using a modified optical pachometer and conducting two test procedures which were analyzed by a coupled exponential model....
متن کاملTemporary Relief of Pain and Improved Vision in Patient with Bullous Keratopathy by Increasing Micro-Environment with a Specially Designed Soft Contact Lens Resulting in Decrease of Corneal Oedema and Pain Relief
Bullous Keratopathy is the presence of corneal epithelial bullae, resulting from corneal endothelial disease. Bullous Keratopathy is caused by oedema of the cornea, resulting from failure of the corneal endothelium to maintain the normally dehydrated state of the cornea. Most frequently, it is due to Fuchs corneal endothelial dystrophy or corneal endothelial trauma. Fuchs dystrophy is a genetic...
