Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.

Variation in measuring and ophthalmic factors correlating with central corneal thickness in the Northern Finland birth cohort eye study

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess the correlation between optical coherence tomography (OCT) and ultrasound pachymetry (USP) as methods for analysing central corneal thickness (CCT) and to evaluate ophthalmic factors affecting CCT. Methods The eyes of 3070 subjects of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort (NFBC) were examined at the age of 45–49 years.

Phase coupling between eye and brain pulsations is bidirectional and modulated by the parasympathetic system – An fMREye study

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Physiological pulsations driven by cardiac, respiratory, and vasomotor activity are essential for solute transport within perivascular and perineural cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways that support brain and eye clearance systems. Previous studies have shown that parasympathetic blockade significantly reduces ocular pulsation power and

Astigmatism-type-specific impact of peripheral corneal thickness on anterior keratometric profile changes after temporal clear corneal incision cataract surgery

open access: yesScientific Reports
Postoperative astigmatism remains a concern after temporal clear corneal incision (TCCI) cataract surgery, especially in eyes with preexisting corneal astigmatism. This study investigated whether peripheral-to-central corneal thickness ratios can predict

Dystrophia Smolandiensis is characterized by a novel NQO1 variant and a distinct phenotype from COL17A1‐associated epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine the molecular cause of the two epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophies, Dystrophia Smolandiensis and Dystrophia Helsinglandica, and to identify phenotypic differences between the two conditions. Methods DNA samples and clinical data from structured interview records were obtained from the Swedish families in which ...

Visual acuity is reduced with increasing central retinal thickness, but also with higher age and female sex in diabetic macular oedema

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The increasing number of patients with diabetes has increased the incidence of diabetic macular oedema (DME) with the accompanying risk of developing visual loss. The purpose of the present study was to describe the contributions of increased central retinal thickness (CRT) and other risk factors to the reduction in visual acuity ...

Three years of ocular proton therapy in the Netherlands, clinical results

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare cancer with rising number of diagnosis (143 diagnoses in 1990 to 226 in 2023) in the Netherlands. Most patients are treated locally with Ruthenium‐106 brachytherapy (±102/year). Patients were referred for proton therapy (PT) to Switzerland in the past, but PT is available in the Netherlands from January ...

Aqueous Humour Cytokines as Predictors of Axial Elongation in High Myopia: A 2‐Year Longitudinal Cohort Study

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To investigate the predictive value of aqueous humour cytokines for axial elongation. Methods This was a prospective longitudinal observational study. 72 high myopia patients (72 eyes) who received implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation surgery with at least 2 years of follow‐up were included.
