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.

Outcomes of therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in acanthamoeba keratitis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract While acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a sight‐threatening corneal infection, a thorough comparison of the outcomes of therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and therapeutic deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is lacking. We aimed to compare clinical outcomes of PK and DALK in AK.

VEGF‐A Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy Inhibits Corneal Neovascularisation and Enhances Graft Survival in Murine High‐Risk Corneal Transplantation

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To investigate, for the first time, whether an unconjugated VEGF‐A antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) can inhibit corneal neovascularisation and improve graft survival in a murine high‐risk corneal transplantation model. Methods A suture‐induced corneal neovascularisation model was established in BALB/c mice, followed by high‐risk ...
