Chemical Burns of the Eye: The Role of Retinal Injury and New Therapeutic Possibilities.

A new regimen, in addition to standard treatment, for severe chemical burns is proposed.

Impact of Glaucoma and Dry Eye on Text-Based Searching.

Text-based visual search is slower for glaucoma patients with greater levels of VF loss and dry eye patients with greater self-reported visual difficulty, and these difficulties may contribute to decreased quality of life in these…

Reliability of Several Glaucoma Tests in Patients With Boston Type 1 Keratoprosthesis.

The 10-2 visual field and RNFL thickness seem sufficiently repeatable and might allow the detection of glaucoma progression in KPro eyes. Such testing is important, given limited inter-rater agreement regarding the palpation IOP estimate.

Short-Term Clinical Outcomes of a Novel Corneal Prosthetic Device in a Rabbit Model.

Our results demonstrated favorable short-term anatomical clinical outcomes of this novel synthetic corneal prosthesis. Further studies are warranted to characterize the biointegration of this device.

Ten-Year Outcome of Boston Type I Keratoprosthesis Surgery at a Tertiary Care Center.

KPro had an acceptable retention proportion and remains a viable option for eyes at high risk of failure with donor keratoplasty.

Predictors of visual outcomes following Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis implantation.

Glaucoma is the primary reason for loss of visual acuity after KPro implantation.
