Central Corneal Thickness Correlates With Oxygen Levels in the Human Anterior Chamber Angle
We read with interest the article by Siegfried and associates describing the measurement of oxygen distribution in different regions of the anterior segment of the eye. The authors reported that thinner…
Patient Characteristics Associated With Artifacts in Spectralis Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging of the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer in Glaucoma
Purpose To determine patient factors and eye conditions associated with artifacts in Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) scans. Design Retrospective cross-sectional study. Methods The prevalence…
Clinical Outcomes of Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Using Eye Bank–Prepared Tissues
Purpose To investigate the outcomes of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) using prestripped donor tissue prepared by an eye bank. Design Retrospective, noncomparative case series. Methods This retrospective, noncomparative, observational…
Subconjunctival Sirolimus in the Treatment of Autoimmune Non-necrotizing Anterior Scleritis: Results of a Phase I/II Clinical Trial
Purpose To investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of subconjunctival sirolimus injections as a treatment for active, autoimmune, non-necrotizing anterior scleritis. Design Phase I/II, single-center, open-label, nonrandomized, prospective pilot study….
Long-Term Increase in Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness After Surgery for Senile Cataracts
We read with interest the article by Noda and associates, which evaluated the impact of cataract surgery on subfoveal choroidal thickness and central retinal thickness in the elderly. The authors…
Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Postoperative Year 1 Endothelial Cell Counts
Purpose To report endothelial cell counts (ECC) in patients 1 year after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and suggest surgical techniques that may minimize intraoperative endothelial cell loss. Design Retrospective,…
Diagnostic Capability of Peripapillary Retinal Thickness in Glaucoma Using 3D Volume Scans
Purpose To determine the diagnostic capability of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) peripapillary retinal thickness (RT) measurements from 3-dimensional (3D) volume scans for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Design Cross-sectional…
