Bowman layer transplantation in eyes with progressive advanced keratoconus

Midstromal isolated Bowman layer graft for reduction of advanced keratoconus: a technique to postpone penetrating or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.

Midstromal implant of an isolated Bowman layer graft is a new approach to reduce ectasia in eyes with advanced keratoconus. The procedure should postpone penetrating or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Ten eyes of 9 patients with progressive, advanced keratoconus and contact lens intolerance underwent the procedure with no intraoperative adverse events. Throughout the study period, we obser...

Progressive hemi-facial atrophy and keratoconus.

Progressive hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome, PHA) is characterised by slowly progressive atrophy, usually involving one side of the face, and may be associated with ocular manifestations which include enophthalmos, restrictive strabismus and hypotony. We report a case of keratoconus seen in a patient with PHA after obtaining approval from our Institutional Review Board. We are unawar...
