Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) is currently playing a fundamental role in the treatment of these disease entities. This surgical procedure has proven to be a safe and effective alternative to traditional corneal transplantation, and has shown to be able to reduce intraoperative complication...
Vitamin A, crucial for proper functioning of body systems and specialised cells, manifests ophthalmologically as corneal ulceration, nyctalopia, conjunctival xerosis and more. Thiamine levels are also depleted, leading to Wernicke's Encephalopathy. Pre-existing diabetic retinopathy is also noted to ...
Treat with corneal lubrication and observation initially. Epiphora and Ocular discomfort: Temporary epiphora or tearing with ocular discomfort during the postoperative period is common and should not cause alarm either for the doctor or the patient. Epiphora is usually caused by an imbalance between ...
Prof. Augustin:Endothelial keratoplasty such as Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is the standard treatment for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy and chronic corneal oedema. However, surgical treatment without endothelial keratoplasty may serve as an alternative and could reduce the ...
It is possible to reliably record the PERG as well as the ffERG with skin electrodes (rather than corneal electrodes), which are well tolerated even with infants and small children [66,67]. The recording of the PERG and ffERG using skin rather than corneal electrodes results in a smaller ...
It is important to note that the cornea and brain have the highest concentration of keratan sulphate proteoglycan in the human body [114]. In their study, Akoto et al. examined various ophthalmic manifestations of DS, the genetic factors relating to the cornea, central corneal thickness and ...

Imatinib commonly causes periorbital oedema, epiphora and occasionally conjunctival haemorrhage. Cetuximab causes corneal lesions, meibomian gland dysfunction, periorbital and lid dermatitis, blepharitis and conjunctivitis. Erlotinib is related to various ocular toxicities, mainly on the ocular surface, and ...
