Orthoptic treatment after strabismus surgery in child intermittent divergent st...
Lino, Pedro; Aguiar, Pedro Varques de; Cunha, João PauloPurpose: To evaluate short-term motor and sensory-motor outcomes following postoperative OT in children with IXT after strabismus surgery. Methods: This prospective before-and-after observational study included children with IXT who underwent bilateral lateral rectus recession and were referred for postoperative OT based on predefined clinical criteria. A structured 12-week OT plan was initiated approximately s...
Intraocular lens opacification after Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplas...
Moura-Coelho, Nuno; Papa-Vettorazzi, Renato; Reyes, Alonso; Cunha, João Paulo; Dutra-Medeiros, Marco; Manero, Felicidad; Güell, José LuisPurpose: To determine risk factors for intraocular lens opacification (IOLop) after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and to analyze clinical outcomes after IOL exchange. Methods: Cross-Sectional Study: Analysis of all cases of IOL exchange because of post-DMEK IOLop with a minimum of 6-month postoperative follow-up observed in the clinic between November 2021 and April 2022. The main outcomes a...
Success of strabismus surgery in intermittent exotropia
Lino, Pedro; Aguiar, Pedro Vargues de; Cunha, João PauloIntroduction: Intermittent exotropia (IXT) is the most common form of childhood divergent strabismus. Surgery remains the primary approach to control ocular deviation and preserve binocular function. Although previous studies report a success rate of approximately 75%, factors influencing surgical outcomes remain insufficiently explored. This study evaluates the effectiveness of strabismus surgery in children w...
Ultrathin DSAEK versus DMEK: review of systematic reviews
Moura-Coelho, Nuno; Papa-Vettorazzi, Renato; Reyes, Alonso; Cunha, João Paulo; Güell, José LuisThe efficacy and safety of Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and ultrathin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (UT-DSAEK) have been recently compared in several systematic reviews (SRs). This study aimed to assess the evidence quality of such SRs, to obtain a scientifically rigorous comparison between the two techniques. We performed a systematic review of SRs and meta-analys...
Predictive factors of long-term visual outcomes after primary Descemet’s membra...
Moura-Coelho, Nuno; Papa-Vettorazzi, Renato; Dias-Santos, Arnaldo; Cunha, João Paulo; Dutra-Medeiros, Marco; Manero, Felicidad; Güell, José LuisPurpose: To determine predictive factors of higher levels of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the long-term after primary Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Methods: Retrospective, single-surgeon case series of 129 successful primary DMEK eyes without graft failure and with a minimum postoperative follow-up of 12 months. A mixed effect model for repeated measurements (MMRM) analysis was ...
Assessing the perceptual equivalence of a firefighting training exercise across...
Narciso, David Gonçalves; Rodrigues, Susana; Dias, Duarte; Cunha, João Paulo; Vasconcelos-Raposo, José; Melo, MiguelThe advantages of Virtual Reality (VR) over traditional training, together with the development of VR technology, have contributed to an increase in the body of literature on training professionals with VR. However, there is a gap in the literature concerning the comparison of training in a Virtual Environment (VE) with the same training in a Real Environment (RE), which would contribute to a better understandi...
Photorefractive keratectomy after DMEK for corneal decompensation by phakic IOL
Moura-Coelho, Nuno; Manero, Felicidad; Papa, Renato; Amich, Nicolas; Cunha, João Paulo; Güell, José LuisPurpose: To provide the first description of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for the correction of mild residual refractive error after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Methods: A case report. Results: A 45-year-old woman presenting with a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL)-related corneal decompensation underwent staged DMEK surgery following PIOL explantation and cataract surgery. Eighteen mon...
Impacto subsequente a infeção por COVID-19: mudanças estruturais da retina, da ...
Mendonça, Paula; Poças, Ilda Maria; Camacho, Pedro; Cunha, João Paulo; Silva, Carina; Barroqueiro, Olga; Lino, Pedro Miguel; Condado, PatríciaA conjuntivite, a uveíte, a vasculite, a retinite e a neuropatia ótica têm sido documentadas em modelos animais como possíveis complicações oculares de doenças infeciosas com neurotropismo semelhante ao SARS COV. Considerando a retina uma extensão do SNS e o neurotropismo dos CoVs pode justificar se o uso de metodologias não invasivas como a OCT para caracterizar a retina, coroide e nervo ótico de pacientes inf...
Outcomes of cystoid macular edema following Descemet’s membrane endothelial ker...
Moura-Coelho, Nuno; Papa-Vettorazzi, Renato; Santiesteban-García, Imalvet; Dias-Santos, Arnaldo; Manero, Felicidad; Cunha, João Paulo; Güell, JoséThe aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of eyes with visually significant cystoid macular œdema (vs-CMO) after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in a referral center for keratoplasty in Spain. We conducted a retrospective, single-surgeon case series of eyes that developed post-DMEK vs-CMO performed between January 2011 and December 2020. Data collected included: indication for DMEK; bi...

Lino, Pedro; Camacho, Pedro; Mendonça, Paula; Silva, Carina; Cunha, João Paulo; Barroqueiro, Olga; Condado, P.; Nicho, I.; Carmo, R.; Castelhano, M.O novo coronavírus responsável pela síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SARS-CoV- 2) surgiu associado à pandemia por COVID-19. A enzima conversora da angiotensina 2 (ACE-2), com aparente importância na COVID-19, pela interação com as proteínas na superfície do vírus, tem expressão em vários tecidos oculares e várias alterações como conjuntivite, uveíte, vasculite e neurite foram descritas inicialmente em modelos...
