BACKGROUND The aim of this work was to describe the indications, complications, and outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in Saudi Arabia. METHODS In a retrospective, noncomparative interventional case series, the medical records of patients who underwent PKP from January 2000 to December 2008 and had a minimum follow-up of 6 months were reviewed. All corneas were obtained from eye banks...

PURPOSE To assess the findings, visual morbidity, and surgical intervention in Schnyder crystalline corneal dystrophy (SCCD). METHODS Retrospective case series of 115 affected individuals from 34 SCCD families identified since 1989. Age, uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), corneal findings, and ocular surgery were recorded. Prospective phone, e-mail, or written con...

In 1989, Adi Shamir published a new asymmetric identification scheme, based on the intractability of the Permuted Kernel Problem (PKP) [3]. In 1992, an algorithm to solve the P K P problem was suggested by J. Georgiades [Z], and also in 1992 T. Baritaud, M. Campana, P. Chauvaud and H. Gilbert [l] have independently found another algorithm for this problem. These algorithms still need huge amoun...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long term results of Lasik for residual refractive errors (RE) after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for keratoconus (KC). DESIGN Retrospective cohort. METHOD Records of 14 consecutive patients (19 eyes) who had Lasik after PKP for KC were retrospectively reviewed. In all eyes with refractive stability and suture removed before Lasik, far distance Visual Acuity with...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained by Goldmann tonometry (GT), the Tonopen XL, and a new transpalpebral tonometer, TGDc-01, in eyes that had undergone penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). METHODS IOP was measured in post-PKP eyes by means of GT, Tonopen XL, and TGDc-01. Central corneal thickness measurements were also obtained for all eyes...
