Hailed as the sharpest, most accurate collection of corneal images available, it is the only atlas that offers such an easy-to-understand, up-to-date review of clinical presentations and surgical techniques for all corneal and external eye disorders. [books.google.com]

Bullous keratopathy after cataract removal is called pseudophakic (if an intraocular lens implant is present) or aphakic (if no intraocular lens implant is present) bullous keratopathy. [msdmanuals.com]

One eye (7.7%) in group B showed elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) (28 mmHg) after 1 month of treatment; hence, the topical steroid was stopped and replaced by other line of treatment (artificial tears eyedrops). [jeos.eg.net]

The topical antibiotic treatment was continued for 1 month following CxL treatment. The final postoperative examination revealed minor scarring at the site of the ulcer with strong connection between the graft and recipient cornea (Figure 4 ). [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

Specialist interventions The aim of treatment is to encourage proper formation of adhesion complexes between the epithelium and the stroma. In resistant cases more complex treatment may be needed. [patient.info]

BACKGROUND: Corneal transplantation is one of the surgical procedures most frequently performed worldwide and with better prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The depth of corneal involvement dictates treatment options and prognosis. Management [ 1, 3, 4 ] RCES is a chronic relapsing disease, which means it can be a frustrating disorder to treat and to experience. [patient.info]

Prognosis Prognosis for visual recovery following penetrating keratoplasty for PBK generally is good. Approximately 90% of patients undergoing this procedure maintain a clear corneal graft. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology: Often the cause of bullous keratopathy is loss of endothelium from a malpositioned intraocular lens (pseudophakic bullous keratopathy). There is failure of the corneal endothelial cell layer to perform its normal pump function. [missionforvisionusa.org]

We report four pediatric cases of corneal melt and perforation with uncommon etiologies. Although each etiology is rare, the case series demonstrated successful outcomes, using an aggressive paradigm of early surgical intervention. [nature.com]

Although termed neurotropic, the main etiologic factors are drying, reduced blinking, and repeated trivial trauma. Defective corneal sensation may arise from any cause of fifth nerve damage. [entokey.com]

This finding proved to be the basis for the eventual identification of the molecular etiology of RDEB since one year previously Lunstrom and colleagues had shown that the anchoring fibril, a basement membrane-associated structure known for many years [blog.ebinfoworld.com]

Etiology The cause of the disease is unknown. The essential abnormality appears to be epidermal over activity. Genetic factors have been considered since the disease is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. [drmhijazy.com]

Epidemiology There are no accurate statistics relating to the exact incidence and prevalence of this condition, as it often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. [patient.info]

The final common pathway in the development of bullous keratopathy is damage to the corneal endothelium; when the cell density reaches a critically low level of about 300-500 cells/mm 2, corneal edema develops. [2] Epidemiology Frequency United States [emedicine.medscape.com]

Sometimes it is helpful to replace a lens implant with a newer design when a transplant is being performed to prevent damage to the transplant. The causes of bullous keratopathy have changed over the last two decades. [cornea.org]

Therefore, CxL treatment was applied, in an attempt to: a) control the infection, b) prevent corneal perforation, and c) prevent the destabilization of the graft-recipient corneal bond. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

Thermokeratoplasty is a surgical procedure that uses heat for shrinking the collagen of the corneal stroma, in this way preventing further fluid accumulation. [veterinarymedicinejournal.usamv.ro]
