The Effect of Donor Age on Penetrating Keratoplasty for Endothelial Disease: Graft Survival after 10 Years in the Cornea Donor Study
Objective: To determine whether the 10-year success rate of penetrating keratoplasty for corneal endothelial disorders is associated with donor age.Design: Multicenter, prospective, double-masked clinical trial.Participants: A total of 1090 participants undergoing penetrating keratoplasty at 80 sites for Fuchs’ dystrophy (62%), pseudophakic/aphakic corneal edema (34%), or another corneal endothelial disorder (4%) and followed for up to 12 years.Methods: Forty-three eye banks provided corneas from donors aged 12 to 75 years, using a randomized approach to assign donor corneas to study participants without respect to recipient factors. Surgery and postoperative care were (Read more...)
Donor Age and Factors Related to Endothelial Cell Loss 10 Years after Penetrating Keratoplasty: Specular Microscopy Ancillary Study
Objective: To examine the effect of donor age and other perioperative factors on long-term endothelial cell loss after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP).Design: Multicenter, prospective, double-masked clinical trial.Participants: We included 176 participa…
Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness in Retinal Vein Occlusion
Since Spaide et al described the enhanced depth imaging mode of optical coherence tomography to visualize the choroid, an increasing number of studies have examined choroidal thickness and its associated factors in normal eyes and eyes with various re…
