purpose: to report a patient with fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis and pellucid corneal marginal degeneration. case report: a 37-year-old woman referred to poostchi eye clinic, shiraz, iran with complaint of low vision in both eyes especially in the left side since many years ago. on ophthalmologic examination, best-corrected visual acuity was 20/50 in right eye with refraction of -6.50-...

PURPOSE To report the time course of changes in corneal wavefront aberrations in a patient with pellucid marginal degeneration. CASE A 59-year-old man with pellucid marginal degeneration was followed-up annually with slit-lamp microscopy and videokeratography for 11 years. The anterior corneal height data of the videokeratography were expanded into the set of orthogonal Zernike polynomials to...

A 42-year-old man had Intacs (Addition Technology Inc.) implantation for early pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD). Two Intacs segments (0.45 mm thickness) were inserted uneventfully in the fashion typically used for low myopia correction (nasal-temporal). Eleven months after the procedure, the uncorrected visual acuity was 20/200, compared with counting fingers preoperatively, while the best ...

Pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) is a rare progressive condition resulting in inferior corneal thinning and astigmatism. Alongside keratoconus and keratoglobus, it is considered one of noninflammatory corneal ectasias. The focus of corneal thinning is greatest inferiorly resulting in diminished visual acuity and overall reduction in visual quality. Traditional methods of treatment or diseas...
