RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar sensibilidade do volume corneano, asfericidade e índice D para o diagnóstico precoce de ceratocone. Métodos: Estudo transversal analítico, realizado entre dezembro de 2018 e outubro de 2020, no qual foram analisados os prontuários de 39 pacientes (78 olhos) diagnosticados ...
Resumo Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão sobre o diagnóstico do ceratocone, com enfoque nos métodos propedêuticos disponíveis. Métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa no banco de dados PubMed com as palavras chave: Keratoconus, diagnosis, topography e tomography. Por se tratar de uma revisão, não houv...
Resumo Descrição de relato de caso de paciente com ceratocone (KC), Distrofia Endotelial de Fuchs (DEF) e catarata concomitantes com descompensação corneana submetido a Ceratoplastia Lamelar Posterior pela técnica Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) associado a facoemulsificação co...
Aim of the Study: Compare the corneal demarcation line (DL) depth after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) with subtotal versus customized corneal epithelium debridement using anterior segment
optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Design: Prospective case-control study.
Materials and Methods: The stud...
ABSTRACT Purpose: The length of Descemet's membrane and donor graft sizes in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty do not match in very steep corneas, which can lead to Descemet's membrane folds. The aim of this study is to establish a theoretical model for graft size calculations for deep anterior lamell...
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of accelerated corneal cross-linking in keratoconic corneas with thinnest pachymetry values of <400 µm. Methods: The study included 28 eyes of 24 patients. The uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuities (logMAR), flattest and s...
ABSTRACT Purpose: To measure the central-to-peripheral corneal thickness and its volume according to age and gender in 10-30-year-old patients with Down syndrome (DS) and in matched individuals without DS. Methods: In the report, 202 normal pattern right eyes of patients with Down syndrome and 190 righ...
ABSTRACT Purpose: A significant transient increase in intraocular pressure in individuals wearing swimming goggles has been demonstrated in previous studies. These findings suggested that wearing swimming goggles could represent a significant risk factor for worsening of corneal parameters in patients w...
RESUMEN La queratoplastia penetrante ha sido el procedimiento empleado, de forma casi universal, para el tratamiento de las patologías corneales que afectan de forma irreversible a la visión. Se reportaron 4 casos clínicos de pacientes con afecciones corneales con compromiso visual severo, dado por vi...
