Purpose:
Aniridia is a rare corneal disease that is often associated with aniridia-associated keratopathy (AAK). In AAK, the conjunctival tissue crosses the limbal border, forming a corneal pannus that extends into the corneal center. With increasi…

The aim of this study was to report a series of 3 patients with ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) with progressive cicatricial conjunctival changes who were diagnosed with ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) after conjunctival biops…
Purpose:
The aims of this study were to quantify the incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) in the United Kingdom and investigate risk factors and management parameters.
Methods:
This was a prospective population-based study from January to December 2015 through the British Ophthalmic Surveillance Unit. Data were collected on demographics, clinical features, and management. Incidence rates were calculated from estimates of population and contact lens (CL) user numbers. Statistical analysis compared annualized incidences per million and altered risk ratios for AK with the England and Wales 24 months 1997/1998 to 1998/1999 study.
Results:
The study identified 124 AK cases, an overall incidence of 2.35 per million. CL wearers accounted for 108 of 124 cases (87%), in whom the AK incidence was 26.94 per million. Herpes keratitis was initially misdiagnosed in 25 of 124 cases (20.2%). The highest incidence of AK was among planned replacement soft CL (PRSCL) wearers (50.65 per million), 7-fold greater than for daily disposable CL (DDSCL) users (7.24 per million). There was a significant increase in AK incidence (P
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to compare age-related changes in corneal astigmatism in eyes with and without high myopia.
Methods:
Eight-hundred eyes with high myopia (axial length ≥26.0 mm) and 800 eyes without high myopia (200 eyes each from patients in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and ≥70s) underwent videokeratographic examination. The amounts of vertical/horizontal (Rx) and oblique astigmatism (Ry) components, irregular astigmatism, and corneal shape were compared between eyes with and without high myopia and among age categories.
Results:
In both groups, the mean Rx significantly changed to more positive with age (P
