Intrastromal keratopigmentation: a boon for unsightly corneal scars

International Ophthalmology, 2023
The aim of this study was to improve cosmesis in patients with corneal opacity (CO) using newer organic micronized pigments.Settings: Tertiary Care eye center, Design: Retrospective study.Patients with unsightly corneal scars not suitable for keratoplasty, eccentric corneal opacity not requiring keratoplasty, or lenticular opacity/anterior or posterior

Transepithelial Surface Ablation With Mitomycin C for the Treatment of Chronic Central Corneal Scars Following Adenoviral Keratoconjunctivitis.

Journal of refractive surgery, 2020
PURPOSE To assess visual and refractive outcomes and recurrence rates of subepithelial infiltrates after corneal surface ablation with mitomycin C (MMC) 0.02% for the treatment of chronic corneal scars following epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and to ...

Corneal scar formation

Experimental Eye Research, 1973
Abstract The present study is concerned with scar formation in rabbit cornea after removal of a centrally-located 2·0 mm full thickness corneal “button”. Simplicity in wounding, reproducibility in healing with minimum complications, and ease of recovery of adequate amounts of “pure” scar tissue make this experimental model suitable for quantitative ...

Hyperosmolar Potassium Inhibits Corneal Myofibroblast Transformation and Prevent Corneal Scar

Current Eye Research, 2022
Corneal myofibroblasts play a crucial role in the process of corneal scarring. Potassium has been documented to reduce skin scar tissue formation. Herein, we investigated the ability of potassium to prevent corneal fibrosis in cell culture and in vivo.Corneal fibroblasts (CFs) were isolated from the corneal limbus and treated with TGF-β1 to transform ...

Repeatability and Reproducibility of Slit Lamp, Optical Coherence Tomography, and Scheimpflug Measurements of Corneal Scars

Ophthalmic Epidemiology, 2019
Purpose: To determine the repeatability and reproducibility of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and Scheimpflug photography for several measurements of corneal scars, including scar size, scar depth, and corneal thickness.

The long term effects of unilateral corneal scars

Documenta Ophthalmologica, 2004
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term effects of unilateral dense central corneal scars on the axial length and development of lens opacities. We included 12 patients with unilateral dense central corneal scars of early onset before the age of seven years.

Penetrating Keratoplasty for Trachomatous Corneal Scarring

Cornea, 2008
To evaluate graft survival and visual outcome after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for trachomatous corneal scarring.A retrospective review was conducted on all cases of PKP performed at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 2001, for trachomatous corneal scarring.This study included 127 eyes. The mean age at the

Photodocumentation of Corneal Scarring

Journal of Refractive Surgery, 1996
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: A standardized system for photodocumenting corneal scars and for evaluating these photographs does not exist and is essential for clinical research. To address this need, we developed a system for photographing and evaluating corneal scars.
