argon laser iridotomy induced bullous Keratopathy a growing problem in japan
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2007Co-Authors: Hisayo Higashihara, Chie Sotozono, V A Shanmuganathan, Shigeru KinoshitaAbstract:AIMS: To describe the long-term risk of bullous Keratopathy following argon laser iridotomy (ALI) in Japan and to compare it with other centres in the world. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the case records of all patients with ALI-induced bullous Keratopathy that underwent penetrating keratoplasty at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine (KPUM) from January 2001 to December 2004. The results were compared with the other representative centres in Singapore and the UK. RESULTS: Thirty-nine eyes of 33 patients were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 73.3+/-6.9 years (range, 58 to 87 years). Patients developed bullous Keratopathy at a mean duration of 6.9+/-4.9 years (range, 0.2 to 16 years) after the laser iridotomy procedure. The majority of eyes that developed bullous Keratopathy (59.0%) occurred following prophylactic ALI. KPUM had the highest percentage of ALI-induced bullous Keratopathy cases that underwent penetrating keratoplasties, as compared with other centres in Singapore and the UK (20.0%, 1.8% and 0%, respectively). CONCLUSION: Bullous Keratopathy may arise many years following ALI, and is a growing problem in Asian countries. This condition is a major cause of ocular morbidity in Japan, which has seen a worrying increase in the number of cases in recent years.

The results were compared with the other representative centres in Singapore and the UK. Results: Thirty-nine eyes of 33 patients were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 73.3±6.9 years (range, 58 to 87 years). Patients developed bullous Keratopathy at a mean duration of 6.9±4.9 years (range, 0.2 to 16 years) after the laser iridotomy procedure.

Lipid Keratopathy: A Review of Pathophysiology, Differential Diagnosis, and Management
Ophthalmology and Therapy, 2020Co-Authors: Macgregor N. Hall, Majid Moshirfar, Armaan Amin-javaheri, Dean P. Ouano, Yasmyne Ronquillo, Phillip C. hoopesAbstract:Lipid Keratopathy is a disease in which fat deposits accumulate in the cornea, leading to opacification and decrease of visual acuity. This condition can be idiopathic without signs of previous corneal disease or secondary to ocular or systemic diseases. Lipid Keratopathy is usually associated with abnormal vascularization of the cornea, and the lipid classically deposits adjacent to these vessels. Treatment of this condition usually aims to eliminate or prevent abnormal vessel formation, and several modalities have been described. In this review we summarize the etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of lipid Keratopathy and describe current and emerging treatment regimens.
