Corneal tattooing: an alternative treatment for disfiguring corneal scars.

2002

Background: The performance and results of corneal tattooing are described in a case series of 11 patients suffering from a disfiguring corneal scar using a technique similar to conventional dermatography. Methods: Drawing ink in different shades was applied into the anterior corneal stroma by punctures performed with a conventional spatula needle. Results: Up to 4 years after surgery all patients still had satisfactory staining of the formerly cosmetically disfiguring corneal scar. Conclusion: Tattooing of unsightly corneal scars proved to be an efficient and easy to perform technique, yielding acceptable results during follow up.

Retinal Straylight Before and After Penetrating Keratoplasty in an Eye with a Post-Herpetic Corneal Scar

2008

Objetivo: Estudio in vivo de la luz dispersa que alcanza la retina en un paciente antes y despues de someterse a una queratoplastia penetrante (o sus siglas en ingles, PKP). Metodos: En un paciente varon de 65 anos con una ulcera corneal herpetica se midio la proporcion de luz dispersa que alcanza la retina tanto antes como despues de una PKP, utilizando para ello un metodo psicometrico denominado "de comparacion por compensacion" («Compensation comparison method», C-Quant straylightmeter, Oculus GmbH, Alemania). Resultados: La cantidad de luz dispersa que alcanza la retina medida antes de la cirugia fue elevada en comparacion con los valores obtenidos en estudios previos en sujetos normale…
