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.

Risk Factors of Keratoconus in High School Students in Trinidad and Tobago: A Cross‐Sectional Study
Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Background Keratoconus (KC) is the most common form of keratectasia that is associated with impaired vision and reduced quality of life, especially in adolescents. This study aims to identify and assess the risk factors associated with KC among high school students in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T).

Analysis of best corrected visual acuity following corneal refractive surgery comparing low and standard predicted postoperative keratometry [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: It is a commonly held view in the ophthalmologic community that eyes with sufficiently low calculated postoperative corneal keratometry, less than 35 diopters, should not undergo corrective refractive laser surgery (CRLS) due to the increased
