face injury. Considering the onset of corneal infiltration, the cause of corneal infiltrate in this case appears to be delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction. DTH reaction takes 2 to 3 days to develop, and foreign materials act as haptens that conjugate with proteins, the complex of which combines with T lymphocytes, leading to an inflammatory response [1,2]. A previous study showed that ...

Purpose: to share our experience of regulatory justification supervisory authorities performing keratoplastic operations using native donor cornea. Methods . A comprehensive analysis legal and framework the Russian Federation on transplantation. Results The Nomenclature Medical Services includes several types services which contain word “transplantation” in their names. However, not all them re...

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to outline the various corneal approaches to the treatment of presbyopia and discuss their effectiveness Method: Most corneal surgical procedures involve LASIK. Supracor uses a progressive ablation profile to provide an aberration optimized smooth transition from distance to near correction. In presbyLASIK a hyper positive area is created at the centre of the c...

abstract   introduction: conductive hearing loss attenuates and delays sound transmission in the middle ear. it can make variety of central auditory processing disorders; that persists even after resolve of peripheral auditory system problems. one of the aspects of central auditory processing is the temporal processing, which is important for understanding speech, including temporal resolution,...

We retrospectively studied the postoperative results in nine patients with corneal scarring due to herpes zoster ophthalmicus who underwent penetrating keratoplasty. This was a highly selected group that satisfied all of the following criteria: (a) absence of active disease of the ocular surface and eyelids, (b) intraocular pressure under control, and (c) absence of active keratouveitis. Penetr...

The effect of corneal edema and the effect of penetrating keratoplasty upon the accuracy of electronic applanation tonometry were studied in rabbits. Pressure readings made directly from cannulas in the anterior chamber correlated well with those made by electronic applanation tonometry both in severe corneal edema and 24 hours after penetrating keratoplasty. The advantages of electronic applan...

Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED) has historically been managed with penetrating keratoplasty (PK), with moderate success, and, more recently, with Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK). The possibility of repeated graft failures with CHED, however, makes alternative surgical procedures desirable. To our knowledge, this is the first reported use of a keratoprosth...

V ancomycin-sensitive enterococcal acute endophthalmitis has been reported following cataract extraction, penetrating keratoplasty, trabeculectomy, and pupilloplasty. However, vancomycinresistant enterococcal (VRE) endophthalmitis has been described in only 3 patients to date: an immunocompromised, hospitalized patient with underlying bacteremia, an immunocompetent patient following keratoplast...

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...
