Endothelial keratoplasty versus penetrating keratoplasty for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy [PDF]
Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED) is a condition in which there is premature degeneration of corneal endothelial cells. When the number of endothelial cells is reduced to a significant degree, fluid begins to accumulate within the cornea. As a result, the cornea loses its transparency and the individual suffers a reduction in vision.

Presbyopia Correction in Lens Replacement Surgery: A Review
ABSTRACT Presbyopia affects approximately 1.8 billion individuals globally, posing significant challenges as life expectancy and near‐vision demands, particularly with mobile phone use, grow. Addressing presbyopia during lens replacement surgery has become a key focus for cataract surgeons, aiming to reduce dependence on corrective eyewear. This review

Canine corneal endothelial cell analysis using vital dyes and light microscopy
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the use of vital dyes and light microscopy for assessing canine corneal endothelial morphology ex vivo. Methods The corneas of 40 canine eyes (n = 20 dogs) enucleated <24 h following euthanasia or death were isolated and flat‐mounted on a slide. Corneal endothelium was stained via 0.25% trypan blue followed by 0.5% alizarin

Estudio comparativo entre microscopía confocal y microscopía especular en la valoración del endotelio en córneas con distrofia de Fuchs [PDF]
La distròfia endotelial de Fuchs es caracteritza per la formació de guttas endotelials i en estadis avançats pot induir edema corneal i pèrdua d'agudesa visual. A diferència del microscopi especular, el microscopi confocal té un disseny que permet evitar

This study reports the upregulation of ELMO1 and GPR141 in human Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) corneal endothelium and ultraviolet A‐induced FECD mice model. A genetic association of an intergenic single nucleotide polymorphism rs918980 present between both genes is observed with FECD in the Indian population.

The Australian Corneal Graft Registry 2012 Report [PDF]
The Australian Corneal Graft Registry (ACGR) opened in May 1985 and thus has now been in operation for over 26 years. However, the census dates for this report was 01/06/2010 for penetrating grafts and 12/10/2011 for lamellar grafts.
