A Semi-automated Image Analysis Determination of Regional Differences in Corneal Endothelial Cell Densities in Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
Jun 8, 2026
This study aims to quantify regional differences in corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) in patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) across various disease grades. The authors found that central ECD is significantly lower than peripheral regions in advanced FECD, with the most severe reductions observed in central and inferotemporal regions, highlighting the progressive nature of endothelial cell loss in this condition. Additionally, the study indicates that sex and diabetes do not significantly influence ECD outcomes.
Unplanned Return to the Operating Room After Keratoplasty
Jun 8, 2026
The authors aimed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and common reasons for unplanned returns to the operating room within 90 days following various types of keratoplasty. They found that 7% of patients experienced unplanned returns, with the highest rates observed in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and the most frequent reason being graft detachment. The study concluded that national data on these returns could provide valuable insights into the quality of corneal surgical procedures.
Femtosecond-Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery Combined With PanOptix Multifocal Lens Implantation in a Patient With a History of Keratopigmentation: A Case Report and Review of Mid-term Outcomes
Jun 4, 2026
This case report evaluates the outcomes of femtosecond-laser-assisted cataract surgery combined with the implantation of a PanOptix multifocal intraocular lens in a patient with a history of keratopigmentation. The authors aim to determine the effectiveness and patient satisfaction of this combined approach, finding that the patient achieved excellent visual acuity and reported high satisfaction with the cosmetic and functional results, with no complications observed.
