Phototherapeutic keratectomy for anterior stromal fibrosis following DMEK

American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports, 2020
Purpose: Anterior stromal fibrosis is often seen in advanced cases of Fuchs endothelial dystrophy or secondary endothelial insufficiency. As Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) can completely eliminate the corneal edema and the guttae in ...

Corneal Hydration Control in Fuchs' Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2016
To assess corneal hydration control across a range of severity of Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) by measuring the percent recovery per hour (PRPH) of central corneal thickness after swelling the cornea and to determine its association with corneal morphologic parameters.Twenty-three corneas of 23 phakic FECD patients and 8 corneas of 8 ...

Genome-wide association study identifies three novel loci in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Nature Communications, 2017
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is one of the most common reasons for corneal transplantation, and is known to cluster in families. Here, the authors discover new genetic loci associated with FECD with sex-specific effects and implications for

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.

Dystrophia Smolandiensis is characterized by a novel NQO1 variant and a distinct phenotype from COL17A1‐associated epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine the molecular cause of the two epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophies, Dystrophia Smolandiensis and Dystrophia Helsinglandica, and to identify phenotypic differences between the two conditions. Methods DNA samples and clinical data from structured interview records were obtained from the Swedish families in which ...

Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty combined with secondary sulcus hydrophobic intraocular lens implantation

American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports
Purpose: To report a case of combined Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and secondary sulcus hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for hyperopic correction in a pseudophakic eye with Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy ...
