Exploring the histopathological signature of repeat‐mediated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy
Abstract Purpose To determine the histological differences between Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) cases with and without the most common genetic risk factor, expansion of a CTG repeat (CTG18.1) within the TCF4 gene. Methods Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded corneal tissues were compared retrospectively, and CTG18.1 status was determined from

ABSTRACT Background To characterise stromal curvature and curvature ratios in keratoconus (KCN) using anterior segment OCT, and to evaluate the implications of using single‐, two‐, and three‐surface refractive models for corneal power estimation in ectatic eyes. Methods Retrospective observational study.

Comparison of Rebound and Applanation Tonometry in Eyes With Focal Corneal Edema
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the effect of corneal edema on intraocular pressure (IOP) readings and their accuracy and precision when obtained with handheld rebound and applanation tonometers. Animals and Procedures IOP readings from areas of focal corneal edema were compared to those from clear cornea in 10 eyes of 7 glaucomatous cats in vivo using

Corneal collagen cross-linking for treating keratoconus. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Keratoconus is a condition of the eye that affects approximately 1 in 2000 people. The disease leads to a gradual increase in corneal curvature and decrease in visual acuity with consequent impact on quality of life.

Abstract Purpose Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a severe corneal infection with potential detrimental effects on visual outcome and quality of life, primarily affecting young contact lens wearers. We report Acanthamoeba genotypes, subtypes and clinical outcome from Danish patients with AK. Methods Thirty‐nine PCR‐positive AK cases diagnosed and treated
