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

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 ...

Comparison of conjunctival pedicle flap to corneal fixation strength achieved by Tisseel® fibrin glue, ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, ReSure® hydrogel sealant, and conventional suturing with 8‐0 VICRYL® ophthalmic suture

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 253-263, March 2025.
Abstract Objective To determine and compare the fixation strength of conjunctival pedicle flaps to cornea achieved via conventional ophthalmic suture and three different adhesive compounds. Animals Studied Ex vivo porcine globes. Procedures Following a 6 mm wide 500‐micron‐restricted depth lamellar keratectomy, conjunctival pedicle flaps were secured ...
