OBJECTIVE
We studied a case of Fuchs' superficial marginal keratitis in which cystic corneal hydrops developed in one eye, and spontaneous corneal perforation occurred in the fellow eye.
METHODS
The patient underwent bilateral annular corneoscleral lamellar patch grafts for tectonic
BACKGROUND
Corneal perforation is an uncommon complication associated with keratoconus. The first cases of infectious keratitis and corneal perforation associated with corneal hydrops and contact lens wear are reported in two keratoconus patients.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review and
The development of experimental disciform edema and necrotizing keratitis in the corneas or rabbits following intrastromal inoculation with the RE strain of herpes simplex virus is described. Following an initial episode of conjunctivitis and epithelial keratitis, a mild, centrally localized,
The participation of T lymphocytes in the immunopathogenesis of corneal opacity in herpetic stromal keratitis was investigated. In BALB/c mice infected intracorneally with herpes simplex virus type 1, corneal opacity was manifested 10 days after infection, while in athymic mice corneas remained
BACKGROUND
Bilateral herpetic keratitis has been reported in patients with atopy, measles, graft-versus-host disease, and altered immune status. We report a serologically verified case of primary, simultaneous onset, bilateral, atypical epithelial herpetic keratitis that manifested as dendriform
We report a patient who developed keratitis and corneal edema during treatment with carbidopa-levodopa. The patient was a 34-year-old woman who complained of apraxic gait after anoxic brain damage caused by ventricular arrhythmia. She had difficulty in walking. While doses of droxidopa, flecainide
OBJECTIVE
Acute corneal hydrops is a rare complication of keratoconus and may be a risk factor for further complications such as microbial keratitis.
METHODS
Retrospective, case series.
RESULTS
Six eyes developed microbial keratitis during acute corneal hydrops. Risk factors for the development of
OBJECTIVE
To describe interface corneal edema secondary to steroid-induced elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) following LASIK.
METHODS
Retrospective observational case series. Diffuse interface edema secondary to steroid-induced elevation of IOP was observed after LASIK simulating diffuse
UNASSIGNED
To describe three cases of keratitis following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT).
UNASSIGNED
Three females with a history of glaucoma presented with corneal edema, keratitis (endothelial, epithelial) and decreased visual acuity shortly after SLT. There was variable resolution of
Purpose. To report a case of acute hydrops in a 10-year-old child with advanced keratoconus. Case Presentation. A ten-year-old boy diagnosed as having right eye (RE) infectious keratitis, not responding to antimicrobial therapy, was referred to our hospital. The diagnosis of infectious keratitis was
OBJECTIVE
Infectious keratitis after contact lens use is a known complication in cases of corneal hydrops. A case of infectious keratitis is reported in a case of keratoconus with corneal hydrops without any known predisposing factors.
METHODS
Infectious keratitis was diagnosed in a 58-year-old man
A 47-year-old woman with a history of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) 2 years previously for myopia and astigmatism, presented with bilateral loss of vision due to diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) with corneal edema in the context of a pseudomembranous viral keratoconjunctivitis. After intense
Lymphatic vessels play a crucial role in systemic immune response and regulation of tissue fluid homeostasis. Corneal lymphangiogenesis in bacterial keratitis has not been studied. In this study, we investigated the mechanism and the role of corneal lymphangiogenesis in a murine bacterial keratitis
A 71-year-old man developed cystoid macular edema (CME) following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). He had a history of CME following cataract surgery in both eyes, which had responded well to topical steroid and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drops. The cataract surgery in the left eye had resulted
