Esen K. Akpek,Rana Altan-Yaycioglu,Rana Altan-Yaycioglu,Koray Karadayi,Koray Karadayi,William G. Christen,Walter J. Stark +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the long-term outcomes of combined penetrating keratoplasty with iris-sutured posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in a single surgeon.

Permanent keratoprosthesis combined with pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection for visual rehabilitation of chronic hypotony and corneal opacity.
TL;DR: Boston type 1 Kpro implantation, as the primary corneal procedure with pars plana vitrectomy and intraocular SO, may be a viable option in selected patients with prephthisical eyes.
28
Crescenteric amniotic membrane grafting in keratoprosthesis-associated corneal melt.
TL;DR: A surgical technique for the management of corneal melt following Boston type I keratoprosthesis implantation using new-generation dehydrated human amniotic membrane, which is thicker than the older generation and suitable for tectonic purposes is presented.
Differential Diagnosis of Sjögren Versus Non-Sjögren Dry Eye Through Tear Film Biomarkers.
TL;DR: Tear levels of goblet cell-specific MUC5AC combined with IL-8 can potentially serve as a useful biomarker for differential diagnosis of SS dry eye from non-SS dry eye.
27
Tear Osmolarity and Correlation With Ocular Surface Parameters in Patients With Dry Eye.
Priya M. Mathews,Sezen Karakus,Devika Agrawal,Holly B. Hindman,Pradeep Y. Ramulu,Esen K. Akpek +5 more
TL;DR: Individuals with symptomatic dry eye that is not yet clinically significant seem to have higher and more variable osmolarity measurements than controls, potentially indicating that changes in osmolarship precede clinical findings.
