Simple corneal lamellotome for keratoplasty.
THE cutting of corneal lamellae for keratoplasty of a given thickness is laborious and by no means easy in the absence of abundant experience. Some devices for such procedures, such as Bock"s corneal knife, do not permit of sufficient accuracy, and the electric keratotome of Castroviejo is a very costly instrument. The simple and inexpensive device described below enables one to obtain a cornea...

متن کاملDeep intrastromal bevacizumab injection for management of corneal stromal vascularization after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, a novel technique.
PURPOSE To report the effect of intrastromal injection of bevacizumab in an eye with extensive corneal stromal vascularization after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. METHODS Bevacizumab (2.5 mg/1 mL) was injected into the deep corneal stroma of an eye with severe and extensive stromal vascularization. RESULTS Corneal vascularization regressed dramatically after deep stromal injection of...
متن کاملEpithelial cyst of the iris following penetrating keratoplasty.
In a 35-year-old patient with keratoconus a cyst of the iris was first observed 22 months after routine penetrating keratoplasty. The lesion was completely excised and shown by light and transmission electron microscopy to be composed of conjunctival epithelium organised as a single large cyst containing serous material and occasional free epithelial cells. The management of epithelial implanta...
متن کاملIntrastromal Corneal Ring Segments for Astigmatism Correction after Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Background. To evaluate the change in corneal astigmatism after intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation in keratoconus patients with previous deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Design was a longitudinal, retrospective, interventional study. The study included 25 eyes of 24 patients with keratoconus who had DALK performed at least two years prior to ICRS implantation. All ...
