ABSTRACT This article reports a combined technique of sutureless intrascleral fixated intraocular lens implantation and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty in a patient with anterior pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. Two scleral tunnels were created, corneal incisions were made, and a foldable int...
Abstract Purpose: To report etiological diagnosis, predisposing risk factors, therapeutic strategies and visual outcome of patients treated at the Department of Ophthalmology of Federal University of São Paulo. Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, and observational study from medical and l...

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 Here, we describe the result of a Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty for acute corneal hydrops in a 45-year-old female with keratoconus, who presented with severe visual loss in her OS. The patient's best-corrected visual acuity was 20/80 in the right eye and hand motion in the OS. Sli...
INTRODUCTION: Epidemiological studies and about patients’ waiting time on queues for corneal transplantation are important, as they allow us to know the assisted population and assist the medical team. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the epidemiological and demographic profile of patients undergoing corneal tra...
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...
ABSTRACT Purpose: The present study's aim was to compare the biomechanical properties of corneal tissue in patients who underwent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) surgery, with successful big bubble formation and manual lamellar dissection, during failed big bubble formation. Methods: This re...

RESUMEN Objetivo: Comparar los resultados visuales de la queratoplastia lamelar anterior profunda versus la queratoplastia penetrante en el tratamiento quirúrgico del queratocono. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio analítico longitudinal prospectivo en 81 pacientes con queratocono, operados de querato...
RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar las características del endotelio corneal mediante microscopia endotelial. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo en córneas donantes del banco de ojos del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología "Ramón Pando Ferrer" en el período de enero a junio del ...
