deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (dlek) for management of corneal endothelial disorders
purpose: to evaluate the visual outcomes and complications of deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (dlek) for management of corneal endothelial disorders. methods: from 2003 to 2005, nine eyes of nine patients with severe bullous keratopathy due to endothelial dysfunction underwent dlek. uncorrected (ucva) and best-corrected (bcva) visual acuity were evaluated pre- and one week, 1, 3 and 6 mo...
متن کاملHistology of corneal wound healing after deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty
Deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK) has become an alternative procedure for bullous keratopathy. Herein, the histopathological characteristics of corneal wound healing after DLEK were reported. A 71-year-old man suffering from left psuedophakia bullous keratopathy received small incision DLEK. Twenty months later, another penetrating keratoplasty (PK) was performed because of the graf...
متن کاملInvestigation of corneal topography after deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty.
PURPOSE To analyze the 6-month anterior and posterior topographic changes of the cornea after deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty. METHODS Orbscan topographies of 22 eyes from 21 patients with corneal decompensation were retrospectively analyzed: 11 eyes received a 9-mm scleral access incision (large-incision group) and 11 eyes received a 5-mm scleral access incision (small-incision group)...
متن کاملVisual outcome of penetrating keratoplasty, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty.
PURPOSE A single-center, cross-sectional study was designed to assess and compare objective and subjective quality of vision of patients intervened with penetrating keratoplasty (PK), deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). METHODS Forty-six patients previously intervened with PK (22 eyes), DALK (7 eyes) and DMEK (17 eyes) were recruit...
متن کاملEndothelial keratoplasty: clinical outcomes in the two years following deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (an American Ophthalmological Society thesis).
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcome of small-incision, deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK) for the treatment of endothelial dysfunction. METHODS A prospective series of 79 eyes that underwent DLEK by a single surgeon was evaluated. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refractive astigmatism, and central endothelial cell density (ECD) were measured preoperatively and ...
