The initial cause of the accident was a chemical burn on the right eye (OD) caused by potassium hydroxide. At the time of referral, extensive ocular surface damage was present with corneal vascularization, fibrovascular pannus, persistent central corneal ulcer, distichiasis, upper eyelid nasal entropion, and limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), with visual acuity reduced to finger counting.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p><b>Results:</b> To treat this patient's condition, we adopted a multimodal three-step approach. The first step was to reconstruct the fornix, with additional preoperatively intensive topical therapy with autologous serum drops and antibiotic eye drops to reepithelialize the corneal ulcer. In the crucial postoperative period, we administered a subconjunctival injection of 0.5ml betamethasone and a week later 1ml triamcinolone to prevent recurrence of symblepharon. The healing process went well and there were no further signs of symblepharon recurrence three months later. To improve tissue modulation, we administered a subconjunctival injection of triamcinolone again to achieve a more lasting effect and planned step two, which included a limbal stem cell transplant and lastly a penetrating keratoplasty as the final step.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p><b>Conclusions:</b> There are numerous therapeutic approaches to treat symblepharon, which are primarily based on surgical procedures and these remain an important cornerstone for the chances of recovery. In addition to surgical treatment, postoperative adjustment is also crucial for success.

Upon examination, best corrected visual acuity was 10/10 in OD and OS. Intra-ocular pressure (IOP) was 9/9 mmHg; there was anisocoria, with OS &gt; OD in photopic conditions. OS slit lamp examination showed IOL positioned in the sulcus, diffuse pigment deposition in the corneal endothelium and uneven extensive 360° iris transillumination defects. Gonioscopy revealed extensive angle pigment deposition in OS; colour fundus photographs displayed extensive retina pigment deposition, mainly in the peripapillary and perivascular areas.

COQUN Combo was administered daily with gelatin 15 days prior to laser induction and 3 days post-induction in COQUN Combo and LG+COQUN Combo groups. The Vehicle and LG+Veh groups received neutral gelatin.

Retinal whole-mounts were processed with: 1) Anti Iba-1 to quantify: Number of Iba-1+ cells (Iba1-cn) in outer segments (OS), outer plexiform layer (OPL) and inner plexiform layer (IPL); Retinal area occupied by Iba-1+ cells (Iba1-RA) in the nerve fiber layer-ganglion cell layer (NFL-GCL); Cell body area (Iba1-cba) of Iba-1+ cells in OPL, IPL and NFL-GCL; and arbor area (Iba1-aa) of Iba-1+ cells in OPL and IPL. 2) Anti-P2RY12 to differentiate activated microglia.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p><b>Results:</b> No significant differences were observed between the control groups.

However, these changes were significantly smaller in LG+COQUN Combo OHT and their contralateral eyes compared to LG+Veh OHT and their contralateral eyes. In the Vehicle, Iba-1+ cells were P2RY12+. P2RY12 expression was downregulated in both OHT eyes of LG+Veh and LG+ COQUN Combo; however, this downregulation was less pronounced in the OHT eyes of LG+COQUN Combo.

It was originally developed for use in astronomical telescopes to compensate for optical distortions induced by the inhomogeneous earth atmosphere. It has since evolved to become a powerful clinical tool in ophthalmology. In the eye, a “wavefront sensor” (aberrometer) measures the distortion of incoming light induced by inhomogeneities within the cornea and crystalline lens, which is then “undistorted” via reflection by a deformable mirror. AO thus enables imaging of the human retina with unprecedented resolution <i>in vivo</i>, such as revealing individual photoreceptors or the walls of blood vessels. One should note that AO by itself does not provide an image; rather an AO subsystem is incorporated into an existing imaging device. AO subsystems have thus far been successfully integrated into three ophthalmic imaging devices: fundus cameras, scanning laser ophthalmoscopes, and the OCT device. This lecture will introduce the basic principles of AO, illustrate its value with state-of-the-art clinical examples, and discuss potential future applications in ophthalmology.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":6915,"journal":{"name":"Acta Ophthalmologica","volume":"103 S284","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aos.16915","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143117155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
