The purpose of this article is to examine outcomes of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) performed with cornea bank (CB) prestripped tissue and surgeon stripped tissue (SST).This retrospective study examined subjects who underwent DMEK with CB or surgeon prepared tissue for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), corneal thickness, endothelial ce...

Purpose Studies of Fuchs' dystrophy have largely focused on individuals of European origin. Characterization of disease among African Americans is required to ensure prognostic factors and therapeutic approaches are applicable across diverse patient populations. Methods We assessed all self-reported black and white patients aged older than 40 years at a tertiary care institution with a diagno...

PURPOSE This study aimed to analyze the clinical patterns and etiology of uveitis in Isfahan, Iran. METHODS In this descriptive research, the records of 2016 patients with uveitis referred to a tertiary eye care centers were examined. Age, sex, clinical and anatomical features, and etiology of disease were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS The mean age of onset of uveitis was 33.76 years and t...

The cornea remains in a state of deturgescence, maintained by endothelial cell Na+/K+ ATPase and by tight junctions between endothelial cells that limit entrance of fluid into the stroma. Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) was initially described by Fuchs in 1910 as a combination of epithelial and stromal edema in older patients. It manifests as bilateral, albeit asymmetric, central co...
