Purpose. To report the use of Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) in a patient with keratoglobus and chronic hydrops. Case Report. We describe a case of a 28-year-old man with bilateral keratoglobus and chronic hydrops in the right eye secondary to spontaneous Descemet membrane tear. The patient presented with finger counting (CF) vision, itching, foreign body sensation, and severe photophobia in the right eye. Peripheral corneal thinning with central corneal protrusion and Descemet mem- brane tear spanning from 4 to 7 o’clock was noted on slit lamp examination. The right eye cornea was 15 mm in the horizontal diam- eter.

Megalocornea Jeffrey Welder and Thomas a Oetting, MS, MD September 18, 2010
Megalocornea Jeffrey Welder and Thomas A Oetting, MS, MD September 18, 2010 Chief Complaint: Visual disturbance when changing positions. History of Present Illness: A 60-year-old man with a history of simple megalocornea presented to the Iowa City Veterans Administration Healthcare System eye clinic reporting visual disturbance while changing head position for several months. He noticed that his vision worsened with his head bent down. He previously had cataract surgery with an iris-sutured IOL due to the large size of his eye, which did not allow for placement of an anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) or scleral-fixated lens. Past Medical History: Megalocornea Medications: None Family History: No known history of megalocornea Social History: None contributory Ocular Exam: • Visual Acuity (with correction): • OD 20/100 (cause unknown) • OS 20/20 (with upright head position) • IOP: 18mmHg OD, 17mmHg OS • External Exam: normal OU • Pupils: No anisocoria and no relative afferent pupillary defect • Motility: Full OU. • Slit lamp exam: megalocornea (>13 mm in diameter) and with anterior mosaic dystrophy. Iris-sutured posterior chamber IOLs (PCIOLs), stable OD, but pseudophacodonesis OS with loose inferior suture evident. • Dilated funduscopic exam: Normal OU Clinical Course: The patient’s iris-sutured IOL had become loose (tilted and de-centered) in his large anterior chamber, despite several sutures that had been placed in the past, resulting now in visual disturbance with movement. FDA and IRB approval was obtained to place an Artisan iris-clip IOL (Ophtec®). He was taken to the OR where his existing IOL was removed using Duet forceps and scissors. The Artisan IOL was placed using enclavation iris forceps.

I attempted tattooing at two sittings, and have considerably diminished the glare of the scar, but I refrain from risking the deep tattooing necessary for securing an imitation round black pupil, fearing to do harm. Glasses were prescribed and worn with comfort and great help, the vision being maintained as above.

Congenital Ectopia Lentis - Diagnosis and Treatment
From THE DEPARTMENT OF CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE, SECTION OF OPHTHALMOLOGY AND VISION, ST. ERIK EYE HOSPITAL Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden CONGENITAL ECTOPIA LENTIS - DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT Tiina Rysä Konradsen Stockholm 2012 All previously published papers were reproduced with permission from the publisher. Published by Karolinska Institutet. Printed by Larserics Digital Print AB. © Tiina Rysä Konradsen, 2012 ISBN 978-91-7457-883-6 ABSTRACT Congenital ectopia lentis (EL) is an ocular condition, which typically causes a high grade of refractive errors, mainly myopia and astigmatism. These might be difficult to compensate for, especially in children, who might develop ametropic amblyopia. Surgery on ectopic lenses has previously been controversial, due to the risk of sight- threatening complications. In paper I we studied retrospectively visual outcomes and complications in children, who were operated for congenital EL, and who had en scleral-fixated capsular tension ring (CTR) and an intra-ocular lens (IOL) implanted at the primary surgery. Thirty-seven eyes of 22 children were included. Visual acuity (VA) improved in all eyes, and only few had persistent amblyopia at the end of the follow-up. A great majority of the eyes had postoperative visual axis opacification (VAO), which was expected, since the posterior capsule was left intact at the primary surgery. Two eyes required secondary suturing for IOL decentration. No eye had any serious complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma or endophthalmitis. Congenital ectopia lentis is often an indicator of a systemic connective tissue disorder, and Marfan syndrome (MFS) is diagnosed in 70% of the cases. This genetic disorder affects basically all organ systems in the body, EL and dilatation of the ascending aorta being the cardinal signs.

Abstract Many different heritable connective tissue disorders (HCTD) have been described over the past decades. These syndromes often affect the connective tissue of various organ systems, including heart, blood vessels, skin, joints, bone, eyes, and lungs. The discovery of these HCTD was followed by the identification of mutations in a wide range of genes encoding structural proteins, modifying enzymes, or components of the TGFβ-signaling pathway. Three typical examples of HCTD are Marfan syndrome (MFS), Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS). These syndromes show some degree of phenotypical overlap of cardiovascular, skeletal, and cutaneous features. MFS is typically characterized by cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal manifestations and is caused by heterozygous mutations in FBN1, coding for the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein fibrillin-1.

Isolated Ectopia Lentis
Isolated ectopia lentis Description Isolated ectopia lentis is a condition that affects the eyes, specifically the positioning of the lens. The lens is a clear structure at the front of the eye that helps focus light. In people with isolated ectopia lentis, the lens in one or both eyes is not centrally positioned as it should be but is off-center (displaced). Isolated ectopia lentis usually becomes apparent in childhood. The lens may drift further off-center over time. Vision problems are common in isolated ectopia lentis. Affected individuals often have nearsightedness (myopia) and can have an irregular curvature of the lens or a structure that covers the front of the eye (the cornea), which causes blurred vision (astigmatism). They may also develop clouding of the lenses (cataracts) or increased pressure in the eyes (glaucoma) at an earlier age than other adults. In a small number of people with isolated ectopia lentis, tearing of the back lining of the eye (retinal detachment) occurs, which can lead to further vision problems and possible blindness. In individuals with isolated ectopia lentis, each eye can be affected differently. In addition, the eye problems vary among affected individuals, even those within the same family. Ectopia lentis is classified as isolated when it occurs alone without signs and symptoms affecting other body systems. Ectopia lentis can also be classified as syndromic, when it is part of a syndrome that affects multiple parts of the body. Ectopia lentis is a common feature of genetic syndromes such as Marfan syndrome and Weill-Marchesani syndrome. Frequency The prevalence of isolated ectopia lentis is unknown.
