Use of biomaterials in corneal endothelial repair

Therapeutic Advances in Ophthalmology, 2021
Human corneal endothelium (HCE) is a single layer of hexagonal cells that lines the posterior surface of the cornea. It forms the barrier that separates the aqueous humor from the rest of the corneal layers (stroma and epithelium layer). This layer plays

Four in one: Four recepients with a single donor tissue - A novel concept for eye transplantation surgery post-COVID-19

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
A donor corneo-scleral button was dissected into four parts using a simple manual technique. The anterior corneal lamellae was stripped from the Descemet's Membrane (DM) and Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) was performed in a patient with ...

An approach to reduce Descemet's membrane scrolling: Relevance to Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK)

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Purpose: We aimed to determine whether Descemet's membrane (DM) scrolling occurs primarily along the vertical or horizontal axis and establish whether oval trephination along the axis of least scrolling can reduce the grade of the scroll.

Lamellar keratoplasty techniques

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018
Lamellar keratoplasty (LK) has revolutionized corneal graft surgery in several ways. Deep anterior LK (DALK) has eliminated risk of failure due to endothelial rejection.

Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind

Acta 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.

Outcomes of therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in acanthamoeba keratitis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract While acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a sight‐threatening corneal infection, a thorough comparison of the outcomes of therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and therapeutic deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is lacking. We aimed to compare clinical outcomes of PK and DALK in AK.

Reconstruction of deep and perforating corneal defects in dogs—A review (Part I/III): Autogenous ocular tissues, donor tissues, and corneal clarity scoring

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 519-531, March 2025.
Abstract Corneal reconstruction is a key part of veterinary ophthalmic practice and numerous reconstructive techniques have been described for use in small animals in the peer‐reviewed veterinary literature written in English. Despite the evidence accrued over the last six decades in over 40 clinical articles and numerous other publications on ocular ...
