Keratoconus May Be Identified With Genetic Variants, Report Shows
Monitoring corneal resistance factor and central corneal thickness may improve polygenic risk score models for the common corneal ectasia.
Keratoconus
Keratoconus Prediction Model Shows Top Progression Risk Factors
The study shows age at presentation is the most significant of the risk factors.
Epithelium-Off Corneal Crosslinking Has Low Risk of Early Complications
Delaying procedure could lead to delayed further keratoconus progression and increased economic burdens, according to investigators.
Corneal Epithelium Metrics Provide Insight Into Ocular Surface Disorders
Corneal epithelial thickness mapping may aid in the diagnosis of ocular surface diseases involving the corneal epithelium.
Long-Term Keratoconus Follow-Up Identifies More With Progressive Disease
The zonal average analysis of corneal tomography data in the keratoconus cone area has identified 3 times more eyes with progressive disease than single-point indexes over 4-year follow-up.
Double Running Suturing Preferable to Reduce Astigmatism After Penetrating Keratoplasty
The technique also led to faster visual rehabilitation and lower complication rates than single running and interrupted sutures.
Astigmatic Vectorial Analysis Useful For Evaluating CXL Treatment in Pediatric Keratoconus
Oblique vectorial astigmatic changes may represent a potential biomarker for disease progression and treatment efficacy in keratoconus, according to a study.
An Updated Keratoconus Screening Protocol for 2022
Michael Belin, MD, of the Illinois Society of Eye Physicians & Surgeons, Steven Greenstein, MD, from The Cornea and Laser Eye Institute Hersh Vision Group in Teaneck, NJ, and David Hardten, MD, of Minnesota Eye Consultants, review the application of new diagnostic techniques, and staging and classification systems for keratoconus.
For Patients With Keratoprosthesis Implant, Perform Glaucoma Surgery Promptly
Researchers say eyes with a Boston keratoprosthesis type 1 that underwent glaucoma surgery earlier had better visual outcomes.
Corneal Metrics May Signal Risk of Keratoconus in Frequent Allergic Conjunctivitis
Ophthalmologists should regularly measure the corneas of their patients with allergic conjunctivitis to screen for keratoconus.
