Surgical goniolens for tag identification and removal in DMEK surgery [PDF]

, 2022
Introduction: We describe a novel technique for identifying endothelial Descemet membrane (DM) tags remaining after descemetorhexis in patients undergoing Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) surgery. Methods: A surgical goniolens is applied

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.

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 ...

3D‐Printed Corneal Substitutes: Materials, Fabrication, and Preclinical Progress

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 20, 21 October 2026.
Successful clinical translation of 3D‐printed corneal substitutes relies on the interplay between the bioink properties, cellular component, and the fabrication process. These factors influence the critical properties of the construct, including optical transparency, mechanical stability, suture retention, that ultimately govern long‐term stromal ...

Development of a Wet Laboratory Curriculum for Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty

MedEdPORTAL, 2015
Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is one of the most advanced procedures in lamellar corneal transplantation. One of the barriers to adopting this procedure is the shortage of teaching programs, both in the United States and worldwide. We

Generation of a Novel Col8a2P2A‐CreERT2 Mouse Line Enables Targeted Genetic Manipulation of Corneal Endothelial Cells and Modeling of Endothelial Decompensation

genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The corneal endothelium is a monolayer of specialized cells that maintains stromal deturgescence and transparency, functions essential for vision. Despite its clinical importance, the developmental origins and homeostatic programs of the endothelium remain poorly understood, in part due to the lack of a lineage‐specific genetic driver.

Clinical outcomes of the PAUL glaucoma implant in primary open‐angle and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma eyes after failed glaucoma surgeries

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page e183-e190, March 2026.
Abstract Purpose This study assesses the PAUL® glaucoma implant (PGI) in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG) after failed glaucoma surgery. Given PEXG's more aggressive nature, limited research exists on PGI outcomes in this subgroup. This study aims to compare PGI's efficacy and safety in both conditions. Methods A
