Graft rejection episodes after keratoplasty in Japanese eyes

Scientific Reports, 2023
We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors for graft rejection after keratoplasty in Japanese patients. We enrolled 730 cases (566 patients) of penetrating keratoplasty (PK, N = 198), Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial ...

Preoperative surgeon evaluation of corneal endothelial status: the Viability Control of Human Endothelial Cells before Keratoplasty (V-CHECK) study protocol

BMJ Open Ophthalmology, 2023
Introduction The success of keratoplasty strongly depends on the health status of the transplanted endothelial cells. Donor corneal tissues are routinely screened for endothelial damage before shipment; however, surgical teams have currently no means of ...

Genetic risk factors in Finnish patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To study the genetic risk factors of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) in the Finnish population using hospital‐based and large biobank cohorts. Methods We genotyped a cohort of 107 Finnish patients with FECD for the primary associated genetic risk factor, the TCF4 (CTG)>50 expansion, and studied their clinical phenotype.

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 rebubbling for graft detachment after Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty or Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
To study the outcomes of rebubbling for graft detachment after Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) or Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).From 2260 eyes that underwent DSEK or DSAEK from July 2008 to June 2015, 80 eyes of 80 patients developed graft detachment and were retrospectively reviewed. Host-related,

Astigmatic changes after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in decompensated penetrating keratoplasty grafts

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e516-e529, August 2026.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the surgery‐induced changes of astigmatism after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in eyes with failed previous penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Design Retrospective, interventional cohort study based on prospective DMEK database.
