Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) or pseudophakic corneal edema (PCE) traditionally refers to the development of irreversible corneal edema after cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

2023年8月28日 · Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy or postoperative corneal edema is characterized by epithelial and subepithelial bullae, stromal edema, and endothelial decompensation secondary to trauma inflicted during cataract surgery especially post phacoemulsification.

2024年9月8日 · What is Bullous Keratopathy? Bullous keratopathy is an eye condition in which the cornea has become permanently swollen as a result of damage to the inner-most layer of the cornea.

Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy is characterized by corneal stromal edema with epithelial and subepithelial bullae due to cell loss and endothelial decompensation through trauma during cataract surgery. Patients present decreased vision, tearing, and pain caused by ruptured epithelial bullae.

2023年8月23日 · Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) refers to the development of bullous keratopathy after cataract surgery in which an intraocular lens (IOL) has been implanted. It is one of the most common post-operative complications …

Bullous keratopathy, also known as pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK), is a pathological condition in which small vesicles, or bullae, are formed in the cornea due to endothelial dysfunction. In a healthy cornea, endothelial cells keeps the tissue from excess fluid absorption, pumping it back into the aqueous humor.

Bullous keratopathy is caused by edema of the cornea, most frequently due to Fuchs corneal endothelial dystrophy or corneal endothelial trauma. Subepithelial fluid-filled bullae form, leading to decreased visual acuity, loss of contrast, glare, and photophobia.

Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) is a relatively new disease that is rapidly becoming the prime indication for penetrating keratoplasty. From 1977 thru 1981 we performed 81 corneal transplants on 66 eyes for this condition.

Abstract: Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) is a relatively new disease that is rapidly becoming the prime indication for penetrating keratoplasty. From 1977 thru 1981 we performed 81 corneal transplants on 66 eyes for this condition.

2005年11月17日 · History of Present Illness: Following cataract surgery with anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) placement in both eyes (OU) nearly 20 years before, the patient slowly developed pseudophakic bullous keratopathy first in the right eye (OD). She underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) with intraocular lens exchange in the right eye in 1996.
