The authors present five cases of bilateral corneal disorders, on which they performed penetrating keratoplasty. All five patients were clinically blind and after the surgery on one eye, they gained their visual independence. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus examination, and ultrasonography were used to evaluate the patients before and after the surgery.
The authors presented a clinical case of retinitis punctate albescens in a 26-year-old female patient, with a family history of typical retinitis pigmentosa (father) and bilateral cystoid macular edema treated with anti-VEGF (bevacizumab).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
