Femtosecond-assisted preparation of donor tissue for Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis

We describe a technique for femtosecond laser-assisted preparation of donor tissue for Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis to provide accurate double punching of the donor tissue for optimized alignment in the visual axis. The technique was reproducibly performed in four donor corneas mounted in an artificial anterior chamber. This technique can provide optically centered donor tissue with smooth trephinated edges

Chronic Migraine is Associated with Reduced Corneal Nerve Fiber Density and Length

Activation of the trigeminal system is involved in migraine. Corneal nociceptive sensation is mediated by trigeminal axons that synapse in the Gasserian ganglion, brainstem, and serve sensory, protective, and trophic functions. In vivo Corneal Confocal Microscopy (ICCM) enables non-invasive imaging of the corneal sub-basal nerve plexus. We sought to determine if there are structural differences in the sub-basal corneal nerve plexus between chronic migraine patients and normal control participants using ICCM
