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

A prospective randomised comparison of two different stenting sutures when using the Baerveldt 101–350 aqueous shunt – Lab transition to clinical process

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The Baerveldt glaucoma drainage implant (BGI 101–350) is one of the most effective treatment options for managing refractory glaucoma. To mitigate early hypotony in non‐valved implants, intraluminal occluding sutures (IOSs) are commonly used.

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 ...

The role of pain in Graves' orbitopathy: Associations with clinical activity and quality of life

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Pain is included in the clinical activity score (CAS) as an indicator of inflammatory activity in Graves' orbitopathy (GO), yet its clinical relevance has not been systematically evaluated. We therefore investigated the relationship between pain, other inflammatory signs and quality of life (QoL), and assessed the effect of intravenous

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 ...

Macular telangiectasia type 2 genetic risk variants associated with clinical characteristics in the Slovenian cohort

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Early diagnosis of macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) remains challenging, and the contribution of genetic variation to its clinical heterogeneity is unclear. This study investigated associations between MacTel risk variants and clinical characteristics in a Slovenian cohort.
