Ophthalmology Noticias Destacadas Aug 17, 2018 Incidence of pseudophakic intraocular lens exchange increases with incidence of cataract surgery Emerging indications of intraocular lens exchange, including unplanned refractive error and uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome from square-edged haptics in the ciliary sulcus, reflect changes in lens design and increasing expectations of refractive outcomes. Aug 18, 2018 Fibrin hydrogels provide a scaffold for transplantation of RPE monolayers Research suggests that fibrin hydrogels may provide a long-lived scaffold for the differentiation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) from stem cells that can then be degraded under controlled circumstances after delivery to the subretinal space. Apr 13, 2018 Psychological factors may impact quality of life after strabismus surgery Depressive symptoms, double vision and facial anomalies may impact patient-reported outcome measures after strabismus surgery. Research confirms the need to consider and address psychological factors and personality parameters when interpreting health-related quality-of-life scores. Jul 15, 2017 Patients with Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy exhibit a unique signature of missplicing events in TCF4 Research shows that changes in gene function through alternate splicing induced by a trinucleotide repeat expansion in the TCF4 gene can be a valid pathogenic mechanism in most patients with Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). Early corneal abnormalities in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy Sanjay V. Patel, M.D., professor and chair of Ophthalmology at Mayo Clinic, discusses research regarding early corneal abnormalities in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy. Corneal Suturing, Part 4: Bringing the needle to the host surface In this series of videos, Leo J. Maguire, M.D., discusses how to engineer the placement of a suture in a corneal transplant so that the length, depth and radiality of the sutures are consistent around the circumference of a corneal graft. Corneal Suturing, Part 2: Placing the needle into the graft In this series of videos, Leo J. Maguire, M.D., discusses how to engineer the placement of a suture in a corneal transplant so that the length, depth and radiality of the sutures are consistent around the circumference of a corneal graft.
