Risk factors for graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty
Medicine, 2019 The objective of our study was to define principal risk factors for graft failure in patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Retrospective data obtained from a cohort of 895 penetrating keratoplasties performed between 2001 and 2006 were ...

Effect of corneal light scatter on vision: a review of the literature [PDF]
, 2016 The cornea is the transparent connective tissue window at the front of the eye. The physiological role of the cornea is to conduct external light into the eye, focus it, together with the lens, onto the retina, and to provide rigidity to the entire ...

Corneal Allograft Rejection: Immunopathogenesis to Therapeutics [PDF]
, 2014 Corneal transplantation is among the most successful solid organ transplants. However, despite low rejection rates of grafts in the ‘low-risk’ setting, rejection can be as high as 70% when grafted into ‘high-risk’ recipient beds. Under normal homeostatic

Overexpression of MMPs in Corneas Requiring Penetrating and Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty. [PDF]
, 2019 PurposeMatrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) comprise a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases involved in wound healing processes, including neovascularization and fibrosis. We assessed MMP protein expression levels in diseased corneas of patients requiring

Evaluation of interface quality in organ-cultured lamellar corneal transplants [PDF]
, 2012 Background: With increasing numbers of lamellar keratoplasties, eye banks are challenged to deliver precut lamellar donor tissue. In Europe, the most common technique of corneal storage is organ culture which requires a deswelling process before surgical

Exploring the histopathological signature of repeat‐mediated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.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
