Children underwent corneal transplantation surgery (penetrating keratoplasty [PKP]) for Peters anomaly type I as infants (age range, two to 18 months). Visual acuity using Snellen or Allen charts ...

The mean follow up was 43 months (range 1–170). The initial indications for corneal transplantation at KKESH in eyes that subsequently underwent single or multiple repeat PKP are summarised in table 1 ...

The mean interval between PKP and corneal graft rejection was 31.5 ± 36.7 months and that between corneal graft rejection and the administration of systemic steroids was 9.2 ± 9.7 days.

has developed a novel biocompatible nanoadhesive for corneal transplantation. The nanoadhesive is based on tetrahedral framework nucleic acids combined with functionalized polycationic recombinant ...

Cellular therapy and tissue engineering of the corneal stroma has gained interest over the last decade as a potential alternative treatment for corneal stroma diseases, such as corneal scarring, ...

The grafts come from deceased donors. Corneal therapies are now being developed that rely on tissue from living-related donors. This presents new ethical challenges for ophthalmic surgeons, who have ...

Keratoprosthesis (KPro) is an artificial cornea designed to restore vision in patients suffering from corneal blindness, particularly when traditional corneal transplantation is not viable.

A corneal abrasion is a scratch on your eye. It can happen in an instant — such as when you poke your eye or something (like dirt or sand) gets trapped under your eyelid. Your eye hurts ...
