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]

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]

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]

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]
