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

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
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.

Aniridia‐associated keratopathy: Clinical and molecular mechanisms of disease progression and emerging therapeutic targets

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare genetic disorder primarily caused by pathogenic variants of the PAX6 gene. It leads to various panocular anomalies, including aniridia‐associated keratopathy (AAK). This review highlights recent insights into its pathogenesis, focusing on clinical staging, microstructural changes in the cornea and molecular ...

Non‐physician delivered intravitreal injection service: A systematic review of safety, implementation, training and patient experience

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The global demand for intravitreal anti‐vascular endothelial growth factor (anti‐VEGF) therapy continues to rise, straining ophthalmic capacity worldwide. Task shifting from physicians to trained non‐physician healthcare professionals has emerged as a potential strategy to expand service delivery.

Infectious bacterial keratitis management in a Swedish region: Risk factors, treatment and time‐to‐resolution

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To report treatment patterns, time‐to‐resolution (TTR) and aetiologies of bacterial keratitis (BK) infections treated in a specialized hospital‐based cornea clinic in Sweden. Methods Retrospective study based on electronic health records screened during the period 2010–2019. The study included only culture‐confirmed cases of BK.

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.

Towards Clinical Application: Calcium Waves for In Vitro Qualitative Assessment of Propagated Primary Human Corneal Endothelial Cells

Cells
Corneal endothelium cells (CECs) regulate corneal hydration between the leaky barrier of the corneal endothelium and the ionic pumps on the surface of CECs. As CECs do not regenerate, loss of CECs leads to poor vision and corneal blindness.

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.

Blockade of mitochondrial components release by exosome pathway promotes the pathogenesis of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Cell Death Discovery
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the leading indication of corneal transplantation worldwide and the focus of pathogenesis has been on the corneal endothelium. Instead of cellular analysis, we aimed to identify the protein changes of aqueous

Variation in measuring and ophthalmic factors correlating with central corneal thickness in the Northern Finland birth cohort eye study

Acta 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.

Research progress of corneal endothelial cell regeneration and replacement

Eye & ENT Research
Corneal endothelial cells (CECs) are crucial for the maintenance of corneal transparency and normal visual function. Corneal endothelial dysfunction can lead to corneal edema, opacity, and even blindness.
