THE CONCEPT OF CXL In 1998, the proof-of-principle for corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) was born from such a “simple” concept. Combining ultraviolet-A light and a chromophore (vitamin B2, riboflavin), the cornea could be stiffened within a mere half hour and progressive thinning diseases such as keratoconus could be halted.1,2 Although still considered a relatively new concept, CXL is now i...
PURPOSE To report 2 cases of keratomycosis caused by Aspergillus tubingensis. METHODS The therapeutic courses were recorded for 2 male patients, 52 and 78 years old, with fungal keratitis caused by black Aspergillus strains. Morphological examination of the isolates was carried out on malt extract agar plates. A segment of the beta-tubulin gene was used for molecular identification. Antifunga...
Microbial agents have an important role in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory eye diseases, such as uveitis and keratitis. Microbial infections of the eye such as microbial keratitis, ocular onchocerciasis, bacterial endophthalmitis, viral retinitis, and other infectious uveitis are unfortunately common. In addition, microbial agents have been implicated in the pathogenesis of "non-infect...
Purpose. To report a case of acute hydrops in a 10-year-old child with advanced keratoconus. Case Presentation. A ten-year-old boy diagnosed as having right eye (RE) infectious keratitis, not responding to antimicrobial therapy, was referred to our hospital. The diagnosis of infectious keratitis was established one month prior to his presentation following an episode of acute corneal whitening,...
tients are at risk for lagophthalmos and exposure-related keratitis. The post-LASIK neurotrophic status of these patients may further predispose them to infectious keratitis. The first case represents, to our knowledge, the earliest postLASIK human histopathologic finding (9 days post-LASIK). The neurotrophic cornea would certainly be a risk factor in the immediate postoperative period. The fir...
PURPOSE Macrophages are thought to be the first line of defense in many infectious diseases and are present in high numbers in corneas with Acanthamoeba keratitis. Conjunctival macrophage depletion was performed in an animal model of Acanthamoeba infection to determine the importance of macrophages in this disease. METHODS Selective elimination of macrophages was achieved by repeated subconju...
To the Editor: Several complications can occur after LASIK due to the creation of a non-physiological potential space, including epithelial ingrowth, diffuse lamellar keratitis, and infectious keratitis. Although some of these complications can be mild and not visually significant, others can be vision-threatening and require medical or surgical intervention. Treatment of complications after LA...
